Council adds plebiscite question to Vancouver Election Ballot

Voters will be asked to answer the following “yes” or “no” questions

Vancouver has experienced unprecedented levels of street disorder, open-air hard drug use, and disruption to community safety and individual health. Therefore,

  1. Are you in favour of the City of Vancouver strengthening its laws to forbid open-air hard drug (Heroin, Meth, Fentanyl, and Crack) use in public spaces?
  2. Should the City of Vancouver formally ask the Province of BC to convert portions of the old St. Paul’s Hospital, or another similar site, into a secure medical facility that provides acute voluntary and 100-plus involuntary care beds for individuals posing a serious risk to themselves or others due to severe substance use and mental health disorders?

>The vehicles are being built entirely at Solaris’s plant in Bolechowo, as Canada — unlike the United States — has no nationwide regulation comparable to Buy America requirements that gives preference to domestic production in publicly funded bus procurements. The completed vehicles will travel by road from Poland to the port of Bremerhaven in Germany, from where they will cross the Atlantic Ocean by ship to Canada.
