Michael Shellenberger describes these woke politics in his soon-to-be-released book San Fransicko and how they've destroyed west coast cities, I listened to a podcast with him today and he includes Vancouver on the list. Here's a quote from a reviewer :
"San Fransicko is a lucid lesson in how self-serving ideological fads yank progressivism into a ditch, creating misery in the name of enlightenment. Shellenberger shows us one of the keys to running a city: knowing the difference between virtue signaling and getting results." - John McWhorter, linguist, writer for The Atlantic and The New York Times, and associate professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University
Should be a good lesson for Vancouver and provides some hope and a path forward.
