i hope they can make some headway and find support in ending homelessness in Vancouver, as it has reached an epidemic problem. It you travel into European countries they don’t have such a problem. Perhaps the advocates and supporters here should do some research in modelling other countries who are successful. Great Canadian musicians at this cause.
