I read for a while before I realized that Minions did not refer to her campaign team. I should pay more attention to people's names!

More than 20 members of the public expressed opposition to a supportive housing development proposed for Port Alberni’s uptown. Around 50 residents and business owners from the area were in attendance at a public hearing held Dec. 1 at Echo Centre.

Selfish people throwing the homeless under the bus once again. Housing is expensive and hard to find, stop getting in the way of addressing it.

Only one of the people who spoke at the public hearing expressed firm support of the project. “This type of housing and support is desperately needed in our community. Nothing has happened in a long time and it’s no longer an option, we have to do something,” said Lisa George, who operates West Coast Community Learning Hub on Angus Street at Second Avenue. “The people this project is intending to serve are already in our community. If done properly and managed well, this project has the potential to actually reduce the problems we’re already facing.”

Thank you for speaking up!

Reminder that r/portalberni and the second mod silversurfs supports police brutality.

A video of the arrest was posted to social media, showing the arresting officer elbowing the man in the head several times.

"The video does not show the much needed context prior to the arrest, nor the observations of the officers," Inspector Kim Bruce, Alberni's officer in charge, said in the news release. "While use of force by police in any arrest may be disturbing to onlookers, it is important to look at the totality, rather than the result. The Criminal Code provides us with the authority to use force, and it is not something we take lightly."

The news release says RCMP had to use force to prevent injuries.

Fucking acab, if you actually watch the video the cop is punching down a man on the ground. There's no sweettalking out of that abuse of power. The second moderator of r/portalberni silversurfs defends cop violence, disgusting.
