THOUSANDS OF SLOT MACHINES,
PLAYED ON,
BY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
WAKE UP PEOPLE.
TAKE A LOOK AROUND YOU.
We do not need half a billion dollar, LUXURY, CASINO AND HOTEL, EXPANSION that is far beyond the scope or affordability-- of the average, budget conscious, environmentally aware (with a 24/7/365, mega Hydro/infrastructure demand), family orientated, hard working, Vancouverite.
What we NEED is a facility:
OF Canadians (the people, living in the area)--addressing their concerns,
run and owned BY Canadians(the people, living in the area.),
FOR Canadians (the people, living in the area,)---
at a price Mom, Pop, Brother, Sister,
can afford and that Canada can afford.
WHAT WE NEED IN THE AREA-- IS SOMETHING THAT WILL BENEFIT ALL OUR LIVES-- RATHER THAN "SUCK " FROM THEM.
