Dear Editor: My, my, where were these passionate voices when those being evicted from all of the low-income housing in the Metrotown area were being ignored by this same mayor and council, and by the way, are still being ignored?
We are more in need of affordable housing, to house all of those folks who have been displaced and are about to be displaced, than we are in need of a new art gallery that few in Burnaby attend.
I’m certain that those people who have been and are about to be thrown out on the streets by greedy developers would love to have these same passionate voices supporting their rights for affordable rental space,and maybe, just maybe, those being thrown out of their homes would find time to support the arts community in their crusade.
Wayne McQueen, Burnaby
