Episode 1: “The Layoff Lottery” 🎰
Welcome to Vancouver Hall of Absurdities, where “fiscal responsibility” means firing 400 ordinary workers 💼 while City Hall’s golden chairs remain warm for the top earners 💰.
Mayor Ken Sim proudly announces, with a straight face:
“It’s not going to be easy, but we’re going to do the hard work to provide a safe city with the core services Vancouverites deserve.”
Safe… if your idea of safety is:
- Task Force Barrage, sweeping the DTES and arresting 1,100 people in six months 👮♂️
- Emptying SROs, leaving residents out in the cold 🏚️
- Fires raging in low-income housing 🔥
- Shelters overflowing, with literally no room for people to sleep 😢
Meanwhile, the Parks Board quietly limps toward extinction 🌳💔. Who needs green space when property taxes fund six-figure salaries, personal security details, and Task Force Barrage operations?
Quick math for context:
- Top 10 City Hall earners: ~$200–$300k+ per year 💸
- If they took a welfare-level pay cut (~$2,000/month), hundreds of ordinary jobs could be saved 🙌
- Instead, Vancouverites get mass arrests, SRO evictions, burned-out shelters, and a safe city for the elite 🏰
Simpsons-style twist: Homer City Worker stares at a pink slip while a Mr. Burns-style executive sips champagne 🥂 in their corner office, muttering:
“Excellent… the city’s fiscal health is intact, while chaos reigns below!” 😎
Stay tuned for Episode 2: “The Espresso Council” ☕, where we explore how City Hall’s elite sip lattes while Task Force Barrage rages through the streets and Parks Board gets quietly dismantled.
