Annotator rationales:
If the text sarcastically claims that the mayor vowed to worsen homelessness and housing affordability, then it risks trivializing serious societal issues and mocking the struggles of marginalized groups.
If the text uses the term 'booming' to describe an increase in homelessness, then it risks normalizing or downplaying the severity of the issue by framing it in a positive light.
If the text boasts about increasing homelessness as an achievement, then it risks perpetuating harmful narratives and alienating readers who view homelessness as a critical social problem.
If the text sarcastically celebrates Vancouver's lack of housing affordability, then it risks mocking the struggles of residents facing unaffordable housing while glorifying systemic failures.
If the text describes Robertson as speaking 'defiantly' about his legacy, then it risks portraying him as dismissive of criticism or accountability for his policies, potentially undermining public trust.
If the text sarcastically claims that Vancouver’s problems have been solved, then it risks mocking the real challenges faced by residents and dismissing ongoing systemic issues like homelessness and housing affordability.
