簡評：政治都是肮臓地，哪怕以環保之面目出現，包括碳稅。
2. NPA，無黨派聯盟，要改名了。是自身政治立場的改變？還是僅僅一個名字的變化？溫哥華市議會的landscape，會改變麼？
簡評：有評論說NPA自己有identity crisis，俺覺得很有道理。
3. Stanley Park，要改名了，Xwayxway，讀作kwhykway，理由是這是原住民的發音方式。羅市長據說已經批准鳥。
簡評：kwhykway這個名字聽著像一只鳥，這個鳥名字的改變估計會導致路牌等等一系列的變化，帶來的是幾百萬的支出。Vancouver Park Board的同志們就沒有其他事情要做麼？實在不行去中小學食堂當義工補那個1700萬的窟窿也好啊。都說北京市政府撤銷崇文宣武區改為大東城西城區是不要文武只拿東西，溫哥華市政府也不差啊。
4. 素裡要大變樣了，據說要把Whalley變成新的市中心，前幾天新的市政大樓設計草案已經出台。瓦市長（Dianne Watts）據說要被提名為最佳市長？
簡評：羅市長你看看人家瓦市長……
5. 溫哥華市政府又要出妖蛾子了。前一段剛剛出來花幾十萬買一個把Georgia Viaduct拆了的可行性報告，這下又來了。這次是瞄上了Burrard Bridge. 橋是80年老了，不過這不是重點，酷愛自行車環保第一的羅市長要把上面的自行車道永久保留，所以涉及到一個重建隔離道的問題。可行性報告標價多少？2百萬。
簡評：哪個公司出報告啊？俺去遞簡歷，待遇肯定很優厚地。
（八戒，俺費勁寫了這許多，你給點兒盾，不過分吧？俺覺得10000盾這個數字，蠻合理地……） -

Stanley Park name will not change
By Tiffany Crawford, Vancouver Sun July 5, 2010
VANCOUVER -- The federal government on Monday said the name of Stanley Park will not be changed, following a suggestion by Squamish Nation Chief Ian Campbell that it be renamed Xwayxway Park.
Stockwell Day, minister for the Pacific Gateway, and Minister of Canadian Heritage James Moore made a joint statement to end the debate that has been brewing since the suggestion was made last Wednesday.
"For more than a century, Stanley Park has provided recreation and enjoyment to millions of Vancouver residents, Canadian citizens and visitors from around the world. It is one of Canada's most treasured natural spaces, located in the heart of one of Canada's most dynamic cities," the statement said.
"Like many places in Canada, Stanley Park has a history that has evolved over many thousands of years and has been home to many of Canada's peoples, including the members of the Squamish First Nations.
"At the same time, like many places in Canada, Stanley Park now has an established name, which it has held for over a century, and which is both cherished by the citizens of Vancouver and recognized around the world. Therefore, Stanley Park will remain known as Stanley Park."
The idea to rename or add an aboriginal name to Stanley Park was promoted by the Squamish First Nation because the park was once home to a Coast Salish village named Xwayxway, pronounced "kwhy-kway."
Earlier this month, Tourism Vancouver president Rick Antonson said renaming the park Xwayxway Park would expand Vancouver's appeal around the world.
Provincial Tourism Minister Kevin Krueger and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson both supported the idea.
Originally home to Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam and Squamish first nations people, the park was opened to the public in 1887 and was named for Lord Stanley of Preston, Canada's sixth governor-general. It is owned by the federal government, but has been leased to Vancouver for 99 years. -

譬如這個原住民的問題，原住民待遇的改善，其文化傳統的發揚光大，不是把Stanley Park改名為Xwayxway就可以地。政府無限度撥款，酋長們個個英文流利擱電台上根本聽不出來是原住民，這個其實是毀他們。授人以魚不如授人以漁，原住民本來是會漁的，政府充斥著負罪感送去一堆魚，那還漁個屁啊？由此催生的一系列其他社會問題，其實政府要負很大的責任。
其他的問題，有現在不來加西的史大叔說的那個多元文化問題，多元文化的倡導跟社會普通價值觀的矛盾，就譬如今天阿選轉貼的那個印裔索賠的問題，多元文化的建設，如果導致了移民無法融入社會，那麼這個政策就是失敗的。俺反對一個普世的“加拿大價值觀”，但是俺同樣反對完全割裂的文化孤島。大把的銀子投進去，產出如何？這裡好像馬上就要陷入“僑團”的討論，俺不熟悉，有請樹大，嘎嘎。
諸如此類，極端環保，一個騎自行車的壓住一整溜汽車慢速行駛，完全不考慮這個自行車導致的碳排放減少完全被這一溜車的碳排放給抵消還有富裕。這些個徹頭徹尾自欺欺人的政策，已經沒有個度了。 -
