It was kind of ridiculous because it wasted so much time. I think the Council knows that tenants paying way below market rent don't want to get evicted and don't need to hear 100 of them speak. If she had invited 5 or less they may have approved it but its ridiculous to expect them to spend days hearing a 100+ repeat the same thing. She literally tanked her case and got herself the dislike of the others by being obnoxiously persistent.
I call this old person syndrome when old people have all the time in the world and expect others to too.

Given how little concern Vision Vancouver showed for renters, as well as the BC Liberals, they're long overdue for some attention. I'm sure the current council is well aware of why both Gregor and Christy's parties were kicked to the curb and will govern accordingly.
