Vancouver Mayoral hopeful Peter Ladner was all over the news today telling anyone who had a microphone that the street market that appears each evening on the DTES is a market for stolen property.Mr.Ladner claims to have gone down and witnessed this thieves gallery first hand.He either had his nose so far up in the air that he missed the fact that the products being sold were the pickings of the city's binners trying to make a few extra dollars from the castoffs of a society that uses things once and then buys the latest model.Either that or the tint in the limo window was too dark for him to see clearly.Mr.Ladner has been on city council for more than a few years.All of a sudden he wants to "clean up" the streets.These politicians are the worst criminals on the planet.Every election they attack the poorest amongst us because they can't fight back and they won't sue when they are so cruelly slandered.This despicable attack is right in line with all the attacks he's launched at the people of the DTES.Once the election is over,so will his interest in the poor.They only make a good target for politicians with no ideas and a public to pander to.The sooner this election is over the sooner the poor can go back to living whatever kind of life they can eke out of the garbage of a society that wishes they would just go away.At least until the Olympics is over.By the way,he didn't fail to mention that they were all drug addicts and "Chronic offenders".
