Pidgin protesters target new Vancouver restaurant - British Columbia - CBC News

Hey! They're back.

Hell, they should open a starbuck's down there and just really finish the job and get their panties in a twist.

You know, just for fun, do you think these protesters would allow me to do drug tests on them? Just for curiousity.

:facepalm:

yeah, i saw that on the news....they have about 17 teeth between 8 of them.

solid protest effort.

That can't not be a porn alias.

If these lot put half of much effort into swinging a hammer or pushing a broom, as they do into bitching and whining and waving signs and destroying other people's livelihoods, the DTES would be a much nicer place overall than the cesspool it has become.

i think she comes to my work to get her car fixed, real cheap ass, agreed to a price then when the work is done, starts to say its too expensive and says she wont ever come back then shows up again a few months later

and im not sure if its a woman or a cross dressing man

Goggled the name.
He/she has had a sex change

Tapioca does not live at home. Unless...you mean his own house. Yes.

Downtown Eastside organizations band together to denounce restaurant protests | Globalnews.ca

So....we wanted this restaurant to sit empty for another 20 years?

I really don't understand these protests. What are these people wanting? Social housing? They got it. Now, don't they need places to work?

I am glad to see these businesses are fighting back. Some times turning your head and ignoring these assholes won't work. Kudos to them for letting these anti-gentrification asshats know they are no longer going to lay down and take this abuse.

"Downtown Eastside activist "Homeless Dave” says on twitter that two pickets are planned for tonight; one at 6 p.m. outside Pidgin and the second at 7 p.m. outside Cuchillo."

lol, those two combined made me laugh.

this can be like the movie demolition man lol, the city grows and flourishes, while those who don't like it can go live in the sewers and eat rat burgers.

it makes a good place to squat when it's empty

Fellow greetings, brother stewie. Be well!

Honestly these fuckers are damn annoying.

I wish our citizenship was earned through military or civil service. These self-entitled cunts are bringing down people who are trying to make a living.

If you're homeless or want to collect a welfare check, you should do something for the country, help build the countries infrastructure, protect the border, clean up a neighborhood or something.

Damn sick and tired of hearing these assholes bitching and whining about how these businesses are opening up and pushing low-income people out. No one is pointing a gun to their head and forcing them to go to these restaurants.

Talk about low income housing.
Recently the place I work for started providing cable service to a newly built low income housing. You wouldn't believe some of the things that happen in that building.

Installer went into the suite to do the install, have to stop because the suite is not safe to enter, by not safe I mean, there are needles everywhere, trash all over the place, rats, mice etc etc..... There are poo stains on walls, it smells like garbage + washroom and maybe some weed. Too many times we can't complete the install and have to rebook even then when we remind them the place needs to be safe enough for installers to be inside the people there never ever cleans up the suite lol.

Oh and also they complain, complain and complain. How come I can't get movie channels? HD channels are expensive!, Why can't I get a HD PVR for free? I don't have a credit card to put on file (note we only take Credit card info and don't actually charge anything on it for deposit), and I also don't have enough cash despot for a HD PVR I have the right to get one for free etc etc....... One guy even complain that it is his basic human right to have HD channel provided for free.

The best part is when they call in over 80% don't even remember where they live lol so you can guess how hard it is to actually open an account for them.

^^ Just a little side-note to that...

I obviously see a lot of people looking for places to rent. Some times they are really nice people but they are unfortunately looking for something I don't have to offer...often times we will get to talking and they will ask me what they should be looking for when they look at places. I tell them:

-Check the bed bug registry. Don't be concerned if the building HAD bed bug...look at what the comments say in regards to how the problem was handled.
-Try to avoid any place under $800 (that is the cut-off for Social Assistance which means there is a good possibility the building is full of welfare people)
-Always sign a proper RTA, even if it is a basement suite.

AND FINALLY...

NEVER rent a place (apartment building-basement suites don't count) that includes cable! These places are made for people who can not get cable....ie: no money, no credit, shaw/telus/bell account already in collections.

The perfect storm is a 1 bedroom for $750 that includes cable. You will itch yourself to sleep while your neighbours chase the dragon...I guarantee it!

are you in the military or civil service? :pokerface:

Next protest I'm off to Cuchillo, the tapas look good.
Thanks protesters for turning me onto new eats :thumbs:

I think its a good idea, do a minimum 2-4 year service in the army. if things don't work out for you in life...stay in the army and get jobs and training through them.

I'm not in the military for several reasons right now, but if I had to, I would, wouldn't complain at all..id be happy to do it.

No, but if being a citizen required a 1-2 year commitment, I would do it.

:fullofwin:

yeah...im good without mandetory military service...

I know for me, the taste of over-priced trendy food can only be complete if I wash it down with the tears of displaced residents.

Well suck me sideways.

The Mainlander | ?Cuchillo? Restaurant: Another knife in the heart of the Downtown Eastside | Part I

This is the manifesto against the Cuchilo restaurant.

I'm torn. I mean, Miss Rose Colored Glasses here seems to describe a sense of community to the area that I just don't see. And maybe I'm wrong...maybe this restaurant is being used to prop up the values of the building owners real estate holdings. And maybe Vancouver doesn't need yet another trendy area where the same 10 developers build condos over whatever was there.

But maybe they can be wrong too? Maybe its not a sense of community. Maybe its a sense of desperation passing itself off as community. Maybe in between asking for social housing, and increased welfare rates and more insites and all these things that can be handed out...maybe a little bit they can ask for a hand up too?

This article is frustrating to me on multiple levels.

Interesting look at how the hell we have gotten here and how these same core group of protesters have been involved over and over again.
