Show Notes
A couple dozen protestors, mostly unionized hotel workers, have staged a Monday afternoon rally at Vancouver City Hall demanding affordable housing. It comes has City Council considers a plan for the building of more hotel rooms. Destination Vancouver claims the city is short close to 10,000 hotel rooms. One campaigner says such an idea is insulting when people who live and work in Vancouver are being pushed out due to a lack of affordable housing. They also note Mayor Ken Sim should be getting the message following ABC’s inability to win a seat in the city byelection.
