question:
Comment: For over a decade, the Metro Vancouver region- and the province of BC as a whole- have needed the provincial govt to demonstrate bold, ambitious leadership by setting out a concise, multi-year policy and spending roadmap for the South of Fraser area...

... that is intended to bring this area up to (44 sq. miles) city of Vancouver public transportation, road, bridge and tunnel standards-

.... and in particular, to provide (246 sq. miles) Surrey and Langley with a legitimate** rapid transit rail network... One that will impress domestic and international onlookers- and potential investors- instead of making them yawn...

** "Legitimate" rapid transit meaning rail lines that use: separated-from-roadway (IE: elevated); and computer-driven (automated) technologies (similar to the city of Vancouver's Expo, Millennium and Canada Lines), and not the 19th-century technology "buses on rails" (that have been run along already busy roadways) LRT that Translink's Mayors Council are proposing...

Non-toxic

answer:
Toxic

question:
Comment: There are a lot of references in the commentary that equate a vote from the young (16-24)
as being of greater importance than one from the older population. This is also implied
in Ms Renzetti's article itself.
But like someone said, quoting Churchill, 'it's too bad youth is wasted on the young'. I recognise it from my own youth. And today it feels more telling than ever. I'm not saying they should not vote, just that age and experience (as we now see as a new trend in the
work force) speak loud and clear and should be hailed, as it often is in other cultures, as
something to look to and learn from. Youth will always take itself very seriously so no
chance we will miss that part. But older people often feel harassed for simply having a lot
of years behind them. This scorning of the older voter is shameful.
answer:
Non-toxic
