Had a meeting with a designer in Railtown on Alexander st this week. What. A. Shitshow. The DTES is becoming. One would think, it can’t actually get worst, but it has. I’m a liberal to a certain extent, but enoughs enough. Japantown, Gastown, Railtown, Chinatown, Strathcona is overrun by the homeless now. Clean it the fuck up. The bleeding hearts need to stop justifying it, theres no justifying

Time to pack it up in Van and get the hell out of there.

UW-Madison moves ahead with removal of boulder accused of being racist

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Campus Planning Committee has agreed to remove a historic boulder on campus after students of color complained that the giant rock reminds them of a racist past.

The school estimates removing the 70-ton Chamberlain Rock will cost between $30,000 and $75,000.

“This is a huge accomplishment for us,” Wisconsin Black Student Union President Nalah McWhorter told the Wisconsin State Journal. “We won’t have that constant reminder, that symbol that we don’t belong here.”

The boulder became a source of controversy over the summer when a 1925 newspaper clipping emerged that referred to the rock as a “N****rhead Rock,” a common term at the time for large, dark rocks.

There is no evidence the offensive term was ever used on campus to describe the boulder.

“I could only find one instance of the offensive term related to the rock–in the 1925 Wisconsin State Journal article,” said Daniel Einstein, the historic and cultural resources manager for UW Madison, in a September statement to The College Fix.

Further, there is no evidence that the term was even used to describe the boulder in question.

“There is no reference in this article to Chamberlin,” said Einsten. “The reporter was using the term (in a manner not uncommon for the time) as a generic reference to a geographic or geological feature.”

Nonetheless, the school, with the backing of Chancellor Rebecca Blank, will be moving ahead with removing the boulder.

Madness in Madison.

I must be old because I can still remember when universities were considered bastions of knowledge and civilization.

No wonder they wanted the rock removed - look at all the white streaks in it

Ya'll see the City of Vancouver trying to implement tolls/mobility pricing for cars coming in from Lions Gate bridge to downtown, Burrard, Waterfront, 16th ave to Clark Drive? Or a 2yr feasibility study.

Happy that the provincial govt will say nah in all likelihood.
