  1. I have identified as gender fluid and offered them a sample of my fluids.
    Proposed to fight homelessness with pollution by shortening the lives of the homeless due to exposure to car exhaust.
    Demanded a flatulence tax on cyclists and a bicycle seat surcharge. Also postulated prohibition on fat people wearing spandex.

    1. Colonialista – I left a few notes explaining why I didn’t think the tax was a good idea e.g. it would only hurt the poor and indigenous, not all visitors who go to Vancouver are rich, their tone-deaf ideas reveal their privelage as white supremacists, and the only real solution isn’t windmills and solar but is nuclear fusion. It was a fun survey but unfortunately the people behind it are deadly serious.

    1. B It would not let me go beyond my first negative comment on the very first question.

      1. Told them to go F u^k yourselfers, and I am from Whiteyville nc.
        Probably think it’s a new Canadian province.

        1. LMAO….I told em That YVR and the Lower Maoland would not be lasting much longer…the Big one is coming & they can join their Left Coast MARXIST Brethern in the Tsunami sure to ensue….have a Lovely day.!

          Identified as a Monkey Tree.

          I used V5L 1W4. Worked and is a YVR address as I’ve shipped there.

    2. It wouldn’t accept the suggested postal code. It asked for a correct zip code….

  2. We should all pollute as much as possible. Leave feces and urine all over the sidewalks. Also dispose of your used syringes and condoms on the sidewalks in front of schools and playgrounds. Housing is too cheap in Toronto. There should be an additional 200% tax on all new or preexisting home sales to fund free trips and meals at nice restaurants for government officials,

  3. Why do they care where you’re from? Gender? Income?

    Typical useless government survey.

    1. Not useless to them.
      They classify, codify, select, pigeonhole, typecast and shoehorn you into that of a racist white POS that will then need to be sent to the camps for ” re-edumacation ” and then extermination.
      But not until THEY have squeezed every last ounce of usefulness from your hide and turned into fertilizer.
      That info comes in handy for the above future treatment of said citizens.

    2. Steve,
      The correct answer to any question like that is “Do not assume my gender/income/ability to raise children. It is culturally offensive!”
      Being culturally offended solves everything when dealing with Wokes.

  4. And it’s obvious, from virtually all the choices offered being “theirs”, that they’re doing this anyway – the survey is just to invoke the sham that “the people were asked, and we REALLY CARED about what they thought”. I pointed this out in the survey.

  5. I answered to the best of my ability. I lived in Vancouver once. If you don’t use a vehicle to do your day to days, or exit the chaos there, your are screwed getting anything done in a reasonable time period. I expect it’s worse today. Plus they “drive” like idiots. Don’t be a pedestrian….ever, bikes, too. A mixture of snooty snobs, Chinah Folk and trailer trash. White Rock and Upper Lonsdale were my haunts. And anybody taking a bus to COSTCO is truly insane. You’re better off in Bellingham.
    By the way, where is V5K 2L2?

    1. I started grad studies at UBC more than 40 years ago. Much of what you described was the case back then.

      1. I preferred White Rock. Better weather and easy access to cheaper gas and groceries in the US. It was 10 minutes away. Out Peace Arch and back Pacific. Escaping to the nether regions of BC was problematic, ’cause you had to thread your way through crap traffic (once you hit the end of the Trans Canada you wuz essentially planted in no man’s land). The North Shore was better, up near the upper levels to the ferry dock. I worked in Burnaby, so was against traffic morning and evening. Wet though. I learned to play through on the golf courses when it rained.

        1. For most of my time at UBC, I lived in the Endowment Lands. I was frequently in serious danger of being hit by a Rolls or a Jag. Yup, lots of moolah in that neighbourhood.

          The only real advantage that location offered me was that I could walk to my office, though there was the added bonus of having a view of the harbour and north along the Sunshine Coast.

          But, yeah, it rained waaaaaay too much for my liking.

        2. White Rickshaw has been enriched to a devastating degree with ‘new Canadians’. There have been multiple sales of homes chosen entirely based on the view from the seat of a private helicopter. I shiite you not.

      2. Yea….same. Grew up in Richmond and Vancouver proper (Cambie X 17th)…1960’s. Was good then….Left in ’76
        Been in Calgary since – zero regrets.

        No desire to go back to YVR ever.
        Soon to be in the same class of utter Shithole as Portland, San Fransisco, Seattle & Minneapolis….Same Leftist Scum running it as the others.

        The Big one is overdue…no.?

        BA…Wreck Beach…no.??

      3. 41st and Granville. Vancouver College. Class of ’76

        Moved to Alberta, haven’t desired to move back since.

  6. I added to Vancouver spiral into lunacy by proposing the following breath tax:

    To encourage Vancouver residents to breathe more efficiently while cycling; and, thus produce less carbon dioxide, a breath tax should be levied.

    1. Claude, they already have more than enough dumb ideas we don’t need to give them more.

  7. I’ve been a country boy all my life and it amuses me no end the sort of stuff people are willing to put up with in order to live in cities.

    1. I was finally able to flee the city on retirement and I could not agree more. We have a building inspector tax guy I see once a year, slinking into our area, assessing buildings and fleeing before 7:00am. Otherwise they pretty much leave me alone.

    2. It was where the jobs were then. The oil patch cried and I was outta there. They wuz shocked at the office! U Haul and a trailer for the Toyota. Cheaper gas, insurance, food in Alberta. Never looked back.

      1. Cheaper gas, insurance, food in Alberta. Never looked back.

        Yup. I left UBC after a year and transferred back to my alma mater in Alberta. One additional thing about moving to the other side of the Rockies was better weather.

      1. I got to be a perpetually aggrieved snowflake. I made sure to use ‘oppressor’ a lot.

      2. I identified as a taxpayer with 4 cars and deep concern for homeless living in their cars not being able to afford an new tax.

  8. Who wins the Sokal prize?
    “As a BIPOC I can see where the proponents of crt are targeting minorities through the selective use of colonialist language. Equality is meant for all, and not just targeting those with whom you agree or disagree.”

    “Exemptions should at least accommodate criteria used to implement diversity, inclusion, and equity parameterizations, while not condemning anyone based on racial oppressive historical factors. Only by moving forward using historical oppression factorization can we remedy the effects on indigenous colonial history.”

  9. I am loving this!
    “Ground penetrating radar should immediately be deployed to all parking spots created before 1971 and any spots recalculated between 1992 and 2009. The sanctity of past burial sites of any first nations and first nation allies must be immediately uncovered before any future proposal is even begun. A full apology by the parking authority for taking up stolen land on vehicles produced after 1854 (or equivalent models horsenbuggy) must also preceded any meeting.”

  10. I disagree with approach. Vancouver is FULL of loons that NEED to walk or take transit of peddle their bikes in the pouring rain that falls 8 months out of the year. THEY did this to themselves…let them live with the consequences.

    1. Mucho Bueno ET

      They keep voting for Green Loons to be Mayor.

      They elect Greentards and Commie NDP to be their MLAs and MPs.

      Much like citizens in the City of Victoria, let them have it, good and hard! They keep electing them, let the, feel the wrath of the virtuous.

      Maybe those that can’t be bothered to vote, will also get a wake up call, that their vote DOES matter………

  11. My solution to climate change, which I was “Very Concerned About”, was to have the AC stripped out of all government buildings and to have the heat turned down to 5C in all government and school buildings next winter.

  12. Talk about programs designed to hurt the poor working class the most and drive tourists permanently away. What Einstein school of glue sniffing did these retards graduate from? Stupid batshitcrazy nonsense doesn’t even begin to describe these so-called initiatives. There’s such a huge negative return on the tax dollar. The rich Asian home owners in Van can’t be this stupid to actually support this insanity?

    1. Hey, there on a roll here.The cruise ship business is gone, thanks to Horigan.Now they can get rid of those pesky tourists.

  13. Mark choices NYOB = none of your business. Imagine how many are & were employed to create this waste of money. ‘All responces will be filtered for our prefered solution’.

  14. The ultimate goal of this exercise, of course, is to make it impossible for white British Columbians to own vehicles worth more than their value as scrap.

  15. Its a massive tax grab.
    They cant even solve the problem of a hundred or so people in motorhomes living on thee street.
    Also I find it interesting that cars parked on the street are poluting but those parked in gARAGES dont.

  16. Um, I’m confused. Isn’t this what they wanted? Y’know…these edicts aren’t pronounced from some mythical god residing in the mountains, they’re from elected officials so my spidey senses are telling me that Vancouverites are getting what they voted for and as such should be quite happy.
    So let them have it. I’ve said it once…so I’ll say it again. Politics starts at the local level. If you don’t involve yourself or don’t care, people with mental problems are only too happy to take your place.

    1. “Politics starts at the local level. If you don’t involve yourself or don’t care, people with mental problems are only too happy to take your place.”

      True dat. Very true.

    2. You are correct, of course. What I got a kick out of in that survey was that they are encouraging the extension of the life of all the old beaters on the road and penalizing the new and least emitting ICE vehicles. We should have all encouraged them to do their green theocratic worst to the electors of Vancouver who have voted for it and deserve to get it good and hard. Let it burn.

  17. And don’t forget when this insane tax is implemented, the city will have to hire a whole division of unionized workers to enforce the permits. Each will make in excess of 100k per year with benefits and pension, and not one white male will be hired.

  18. One gets the idea that the woke people in that part of the country have a lot of left over cash and can’t wait to give it to the government. After all, they vote for the same GLOZIS in elections.
    Apparently nobody objects.
    Enjoy your time in the land of lotus eaters.

  19. What else can you expect from a city that taxes the vacant airspace above a stand alone business….something incomprehensible to me. Not sure why taxpayers would stand for the incomprehensible, yet they still do even at the national level. The word fecklessness comes to mind. I tried the survey awhile ago would not accept any postal code I put in. Looks like it has been set to note the postal code of the originating IIP. More expensive to implement as censorship does not come cheap, but it’s only the taxpayers money

  20. I saw we give them what they want. A complete ban on anything made with, transported by, or even remotely associated with petroleum. Good and hard.
