What did that take the city, a whole day?

No wonder you were desparate to negotiate a settlement of some kind. Better luck in your next life...

http://www.timescolonist.com/Travel/City+revives+bylaw+aimed+campers/1233103/story.html

Some of the good parts...

"Councillors unanimously voted last evening to amend the parks bylaw to forbid camping between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., replacing an enforcement policy struck down by the courts."

"It is frustrating that council’s scarce resources are being spent at the courthouse, said Coun. Lynn Hunter. “They are being utilized in what I see as a wasteful way.”"

"The latest court defeat for the city came after Irene Faulkner, who acted on behalf of the homeless campers in their Supreme Court challenge, argued the city had imposed an enforcement policy on a bylaw that no longer exists.

MacKenzie agreed. He did, however, suggest that city council could pass an amendment to its bylaws if it wants to continue to enforce the 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ban on public camping.

That’s exactly what council has now decided to do." - Fri, 30 Jan 2009 9:49am Edited: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 9:51am

I wonder if reality is starting to sink in... at least the media is starting to wake up.

One more quote from another related thread.

"It has also created an unnecessary distraction from the real solutions, which start with providing services and access to affordable housing. Instead of dealing with those issues, there is much hand-wringing about irrelevancies such as whether the three people charged under the bylaw are representative of the homeless community.

Of course not. David Johnston, for example, is on a mystical quest that will strike most people as delusional.

But equally delusional is the idea that there is one model of "real" homeless people."

That's been the reason for my dislike of Daj and his egocentric ways. He is wasting time and money and other scarce resources that could be put to better use in actually helping the people that are homeless. All he cares about is being in the news.
Irene Faulkner should be disbarred. - Fri, 30 Jan 2009 3:15pm Edited: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 3:21pm

And to make it all official...

http://www.timescolonist.com/City+passes+bylaw+restrict+homeless+camping/1256986/story.html

The good parts:

Victoria councillors passed an amendment to its parks regulation bylaw today restricting camping in parks from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

The newest version of the camping bylaw also forbids camping at any time in Bastion Square, playgrounds, sports fields, footpaths, park roads or areas where special events are being held. Centennial Square is open to nighttime camping

Enjoy. - Thu, 5 Feb 2009 10:44am

Hypocrite getting drunk off government taxed alcohol.
