Gregor Robertson, our dear mayor in the heart of the milking cow, and [NPA mayoral candidate] Suzanne Anton who is probably not any better, now talking about spending love money for the streetcars (for sure a lot more than $100 million).

Where did Mr. Robertson come up with the two per cent tax increase in the last two years? Here is an example: 2009-10 per cent, 2010-12 per cent, 2011-five per cent. What about 2012?

And you wonder why it's so expensive to rent in Vancouver.
