@steeletalk How is this “direct action” going to help? Now 34 gas guzzling tow trucks (or less bc some may not be avail & may need to make a couple back & forth trips) on their way, 136 new tires need to be ordered shipped made by manufacturer…more emissions. What type of logic is this?🤔🤡

It’s beyond upsetting as Kent’s Kitchen is a place that served a vast majority of the seniors in the n-hood. Food security is already a serious issue & Kent’s took losses to help feed the masses. Tasty, inexpensive lrg portions that could be rationed for days.

it’s deeply upsetting to hear Kent’s Kitchen in #chinatownyvr closing, just weeks after Daisy’s Garden closing.

This is a wake-up call to recognize the assault on arts, culture, freedom of expression - pillars of our Western civilization & democracy. The cancellation undermines the arts' role as a platform for meaningful conversations & diverse narratives. It's crucial to unite in support…

I am shocked to learn that #Victoria 's @BelfryTheatre has decided to cancel the planned production of #TheRunner by Christopher Morris. This is a shameful capitulation to the angry, anti-peace mob that showed up to the theatre..
