Homeless

Gastown, Vancouver

When homeless people are put into single-occupancy hotel rooms or social-morass housing, they are being warehoused. Those folks (the silent majority that actually populates the DTES) who are merely old, poor, and crippled and who choose to live downtown, close to necessary services and facilities, are also vulnerable to the invalidating properties of the hotel and social housing industry. The lack of home causes alienation and unhappiness in human beings; the willingness of a society to profit from it provides more of the same.

In the mind-set of West Side Vancouver, everything east of Cambie Street might as well be ROC (Rest of Canada).

Hastings Park

During a recent and first-time visit to Hastings Park Racecourse I was more bedazzled by the running of the mascots than of the thoroughbreds. Why is it funny when a mascot falls over? Perhaps because the whole exercise is so silly and the dehumanization is cushioned by a bulky costume that both disguises and protects. We are more worried that the amusingly employed individual is overheating on a hot summer day.

The two week-long Pacific National Exhibition,which is held in Hastings Park, is over at weekend's end when the racing schedule goes into autumnal denouement.

The Town fancies itself a certain way but there are many windows into consciousness.
