This is great.....the indians in Vancouver are building giant towers for housing....and since it is on their land they dont have to beg the communists in the government for permission
So what's the story? In Vancouver, one of the most beautiful and liberal cities in North America, Indigenous communities control some prime tracts of land.
They have decided to maximize the value of that land by building massive skyscrapers--quite attractive ones, actually--to increase the housing stock in a region notorious for housing shortages. Because they hold sovereignty over the land they don't need permission from their neighbors and the powers-that-be, which, you would imagine, is something the decolonizing Left would appreciate.
----
Except, of course, they don't. Indigenous people are supposed to wear face paint, build totems, and worship heathen gods or something. They are supposed to be the antithesis--the utter rejection--of the modern world. And nothing says modern Western culture like skyscrapers built out of glass, steel, and concrete.
Woo, boy! Gotta love it. People who control valuable resources in one of the wealthiest regions in the world are embracing their inner capitalist, and it pisses the Left off to no end.
