Then, once it gets here, it'll be boring—boring right through Vancouver. It's one of the two boring machines set to bore a tunnel right under Broadway. Herrenknecht, the German company that makes boring things ﬁnished up with the pair of huge cylindrical machines that'll bore through the earth under Vancouver to create the tunnel for the new Broadway Subway running from Clark Drive to Arbutus Street. The machines are expected to arrive in Vancouver later this spring, says Acciona in a social media post; Accocia and Ghella are the two companies behind the construction of the project. Bowinn Ma, the province's minister of infrastructure, also tweeted photos of the machines, noting they've passed their tests. The $2.83 billion project is one of the biggest infrastructure projects in Canada (number 27) right now and is expected to ﬁnish in 2025. BROADWAY SUBWAY PROJECT

he Barge Chilling Beach sign, the second most popular attraction on Sunset Beach, has been removed. The sign was erected on Dec. 15, 2021, exactly one month after the English Bay Barge was pushed up onto the rocks by a windstorm. Over the course of its month-long stay, the sign saw a good deal of attention from locals and outsiders alike. “The sign was always intended to be temporary—a way to bring some holiday joy during a diﬃcult time,” the Park Board said in a statement. “Initially, we were blown away by the overwhelmingly positive response, not just from Vancouverites, but from people all over the world.” Indeed, even the New York Times got in on Vancouver’s barge action, publishing a story about it. The sign wasn’t without its controversy though. Twice in January the sign had the traditional Squamish name for the beach,

Canucks have to be willing to trade good players in order to get better

.T. Miller leads the Vancouver Canucks in points. Conor Garland has been a revelation since joining the Canucks, leading the team in even-strength scoring. Both have seen their names pop up in the rumour mill in recent weeks as potentially getting traded. It’s understandable if fans would be reluctant to see either player go. Both are very good players, who bring a lot of passion for the game. They’re the type of players who are easy for fans to embrace. A general manager, however, can’t be a fan. Their job is to accurately assess the team’s strengths and weaknesses and do everything they can to put together the best possible team. And right now, the Canucks have too few strengths and too many weaknesses. The only way to fix those issues might be to trade away good players like Miller or Garland. There are simply too many flaws on the Canucks’ roster — missing puck-movers on defence, limited scoring depth, a complete lack of quality penalty killers, not enough team speed, and too many okay players making far-more-than-okay money. With limited cap space to deal with those flaws in free agency and a prospect pool that has pretty well been picked clean, trades are one of the few remaining avenues available to improve the team. Making trades around the edges, however, is unlikely to make a major difference. Trading a couple of bottom-six forwards on expiring contracts like Tyler Motte and Alex Chiasson might bring back a prospect or a mid-range draft pick but that just isn’t going to cut it. Trading a player like Miller or Garland, on the other hand, could bring back a franchise-altering return. With a franchise in need of alteration, the Canucks’ new front office has to be willing to make bold moves. Under Jim Benning, the Canucks rarely, if ever, traded away quality players, even when he had the opportunity, such as at the 2016 trade deadline when he failed to move Dan Hamhuis and Radim Vrbata. More recently, Alex Edler, Chris Tanev, and Jacob Markstrom all left in free agency, with the Canucks either unwilling or unable to re-sign them, the opportunity to trade them for future assets long since passed. The Canucks’ new front office is unlikely to have the same reluctance. At the top is president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford, with his protege Patrik Allvin as GM, and Rutherford has a reputation for big, bold moves. The list of great players Rutherford traded away in his first job is startling. As president and GM of the Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes, he traded away such notable names as Chris Pronger, Brendan Shanahan, Keith Primeau, Ron Francis, and Justin Williams. When Rutherford joined the Pittsburgh Penguins as GM, he wasted little time trading away one of their best players, James Neal. Just a few years before being traded, Neal scored 40 goals for the Penguins and he scored goals at a similar pace through the two injury-shortened seasons that followed. Neal was still only 26 when he was traded but his point totals plummeted away from the Penguins. Not all of Rutherford’s big, bold trades worked out.

He did, however, win three Stanley Cups — one with the Hurricanes and two with the Penguins. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Allvin follow in Rutherford’s footsteps and make a few big and bold moves to reshape the Canucks for the future. For fans who have grown to love the team’s stars, it could be painful, but the right trades could set the team up for long-term success.

Beachcomber creates beautiful artwork from Fraser River trash

S STEVE LAROCCA/@FRASERRIVERFINDS

teve LaRocca may be the best literal embodiment of the phrase "another man's trash is another man's treasure." A Richmond resident, LaRocca began beachcombing in early 2018 after he found, by chance, a carved white horse figurine near No. 5 and Dyke roads. Since then he has dutifully documented his findings on social media under the handle @ FraserRiverFinds. LaRocca has found items dating back to the 1960s, although some are a few decades older. He has taken to arranging the smaller, more colourful items into spectacular artistic arrangements. Some of the most interesting things LaRocca has found along beaches include vintage toys, an old bottle of Chanel No. 5 perfume and a complete Naloxone kit. Through his cleanup and artistic endeavours, LaRocca hopes to draw attention to the state of two beaches known as “8 Ball” and “the Jungle” which lie to the east of Triangle Beach between No. 6 and No. 8 roads. Apparently the area was the site of a dump through the mid-century, explaining why there are so many items yet to be found there. By Cameron Thomson with files from Kirsten Clarke

Opinion

One political move in 1973 created Vancouver's aff f ordable housing crisis

hursday, March 15, 1973 was the date that ensured homes in Metro Vancouver would become unaffordable. That evening a group of Vancouver City t Councillors met inf n ormally and came to a consensus. They would slow growth, stop any more West Ends, preserv r e all single house neighbourhoods and direct the 700,000 people expected in the next 3 decades to the suburbs. A new political part rty called TEAM AM had just been elected. They immediately fired first Chief Planner Gerald Sutton Brown and downzoned the West End which he had created. The West End you see today is almost exactly as he had left it in 1973. The revolution they brought to city t planning was so profound that we can say we are still in the TEAM A Era. Under Sutton Brown who came from Jamaica, Vancouver developed under the organic British or London model. In the TEAM A Era Vancouver has become just another West Coas ast US city t. The most profound symbol of the change in planning philosophy is Buffer Housing. In the West End, there is no housing on major streets, just retail. Al A l dense housing is on

quieter streets. Today it is just the opposite. The quieter streets are reserv r ed for single houses. Al A l the density t today is put on the most unliveable busy streets where residents provide a buﬀer to absorb the noise and pollution. Sutton Brown support r ed housing every rywhere. Al A most all of the residential towers and most midrise apart r ment buildings sprinkl k ed around the city t were built in his 20 years. The Vancouver Special is another legacy. More than half lf of all rental apart r ments today were created under

Sutton Brown. Only 15% of rental apart r ments today were built in the last five decades since he was fired. In the TEAM A Era, the majority t of Vancouver’s single house neighbourhoods have fewer people today than in 1973. Despite the growing housing crisis, thousands of bungalows were demolished and replaced with large houses with fewer people. I regret to say that this scandalous misallocation of resources happened during a period when I serv r ed as both Vancouver City t Councillor and Mayor. It is only after much research which I summarized in a playlist of four videos, that I understood what actu t ally happened. Every r thing I ever heard at City t Hall was praise of TEAM A and denigration of Gerald Sutton Brown. It was as only after years of stu t dy that I reluctantly came to the opposite conclusion. I am now dedicating myself lf to ending the era of economicsfree planning and to unleas ashing market forces to provide affordable housing for all. By Sam Sullivan

'Mayoral bros' can breathe easy - Jody Wilson-Raybould has no plans to run for Vancouver mayor

ou could almost hear the sigh of relief from the quartet of declared Vancouver mayoral candidates – incumbent Mayor Kennedy Stewart, John Coupar, Ken Sim, and Mark Marissen as the words were spoken on television. “I don’t have plans to be the next mayor of Vancouver,” said Jody Wilson-Raybould on the latest episode of This is VANCOLOUR on CHEK. This was her most deﬁnitive answer to date about a possible mayoral run that has been the source of rampant speculation ahead of the Oct. 15 municipal election. “That’s not in the cards for me.” After announcing her decision to not run for re-election as the independent Member of Parliament for VancouverGranville in the 2021 federal election, Wilson-Raybould continued to garner attention upon the release of her bestselling political memoir, Indian in the Cabinet. While the former Minister of Justice and Attorney

Immediately, rumours began to circulate about her mayoral candidacy in the City of Vancouver. General of Canada has not ruled out a future political run – including a return to federal politics – she had previously brushed aside the rumours with open-ended language. Anything is possible, of course, but it seems like her mind is made up for now, despite any peer pressure. “Honestly, I’ve had many, many people ask me to [run for Mayor] and encourage me to [run]. I love this city. I think the oﬃce of the Mayor is an incredibly important

responsibility.” Later in the extended podcast version of her This is VANCOLOUR interview, Wilson-Raybould explained that for her “passion around Indigenous issues, around governance reform, around justice, the path to helping advance those issues even more is not necessarily through the Mayor’s office.” If she were to run, Wilson-Raybould would have likely mobilized both voters across the political spectrum and otherwise disengaged voters on the strength of her high-profile alone. Arguably, she would have dominated the focus of local media attention in a mayoral race crowded with rather unexciting and uninspired men (so far). Nevertheless, the municipal election in Vancouver may still be affected by Jody Wilson-Raybould’s presence. “I have always been taught that if people ask you to do things that you need to seriously think about it. And, I did. I’ll support really awesome candidates that are putting their name forward.” Notably, Wilson-Raybould says she could “potentially” endorse candidates in the upcoming civic election in Vancouver. “I am a huge supporter of people putting their names forward. If they have a plan and know what they want to do and how they want to achieve their goals, then yeah, I’ll support them.” With possibly more Vancouver mayoral candidates entering the race, including City Councillor Colleen Hardwick or a potential mayoral candidate from Vision

Vancouver, an endorsement from Jody Wilson-Raybould could bring a lot of positive attention to anyone lucky enough to receive it. While perhaps an endorsement would not be the election-breaking event like having Wilson-Raybould run herself, it could still disrupt the trajectory of a race if it is well-executed and well-timed. For now, however, the hopes of the four mayoral bros vying for Vancouver City Hall’s top job remain intact without the worry of being dashed by Jody Wilson-Raybould. By Mo Amir

Ryan Reynolds Way: Ottawa might get a street named for the Vancouver-born star

ne of the biggest names in entertainment to come out of Vancouver might be used for a street on the opposite side of the country. As part of his ﬁnal State of the City Address, Ottawa’s outgoing mayor Jim Watson announced he would be bringing forward a motion to name a street near a new subdivision after Ryan Reynolds.

JIM WATSON

A12 VANCOUVER

“Ryan Reynolds Way will be located in a new subdivision in the east end. Look forward to seeing it open soon!” Watson wrote on Twitter. The decision came about as Ottawa has a “special place in Ryan's heart” according to Watson. This likely is a reference to how last year Reynolds portrayed a haggard intern named Bruce at Ottawa Public Health who mistakenly sent out a tweet about who won the 2021 Super Bowl without including the name of the winning team. In response to the deep honour, the Deadpool actor responded: “This is an incredible honour and a deal is a deal, Mr Mayor… I’ve changed my daughter’s name to ‘Ottawa.’” If you're wondering why Vancouver hasn't got a street named after one of its favourite sons yet, the idea was already nixed by the actor two years ago. Reynolds made his thoughts known to the prospect when a petition created in 2020 called for Mayor Kennedy Stewart to name one of Vancouver’s streets after him. "Very kind but hard pass," wrote Reynolds in response to a Toronto radio reporter who tweeted out her support for the idea. "If traﬃc sucks everyone will say, 'Ryan Reynolds is a mess' or 'Ryan Reynolds is really backed up.’ My brothers would enjoy this too much." By Cameron Thomson

ancouver city council was unanimous last Tuesday (Jan. 25) in calling on staff to take a second look at a new bylaw that requires businesses such as coffee shops and restaurants to charge a 25-cent fee to customers for each disposable cup sold. The move by council, which was not on the agenda, came at the end of Tuesday’s meeting when Coun. Rebecca Bligh raised concerns she was hearing from customers and businesses about the fee, which took effect Jan. 1. “I think the public are really going to feel reassured that we as council are not just providing or coming in with a top-down policy— that we are stepping into our role as government to roll something out, and then go and look and see how it’s actually working,” Bligh told council. The councillor emphasized she wasn’t requesting a repeal of the bylaw, but a report back from staff by March 15 that provides council with evidence and data on the policy “to make any tweaks, if necessary.” 'Heard less about bag issue' Vancouver is believed to be only city in North America to introduce a 25-cent cup fee bylaw, which is aimed at reducing landfill waste. The bylaw also bans single-use plastic shopping bags, with businesses now required to charge 15 cents for a paper bag or $1 for a new reusable shopping bag. Bligh’s motion excluded the 15-cent bag fee. “I've heard less about the bag issue, mostly because people generally have various reusable bag options, but not necessarily cup options,” Bligh said. In an interview Wednesday, Bligh shared some of the stories she’s heard from citizens about their concerns with the 25-cent cup fee. They included: • People on a low income, or social assistance, now having to pay an extra 25 cents for a cup of coffee. • “Grey areas” about whether businesses were accepting a customer’s reusable cup, some of that related to confusion over what is allowed under COVID-19 public health orders. • Drive-through customers’ frustration with having a reusable cup and bag, but not being able to use them and instead being dinged with the cup and bag fee. • Conflicts at coffee shop counters between customers and servers over the new charge. • Movie-goers with passes being asked to pay an extra 25 cents for their beverage, but only having a credit card, with the movie theatre not accepting transactions under $3. • A family of four ordering four drinks and enough food to fill two paper bags being charged an extra $1.30 for their meal — and not being able to use reusable cups and bags when ordering via a delivery app. 'Not intent of bylaw' Bligh told a story of recently getting a 12-cup carafe filled with coffee at Tim Hortons, which she later delivered to the Overdose Prevention Society in the Downtown Eastside. The total cup fee amounted to $3, but Bligh said the server told her not to worry because the coffee price was dropped to offset the fee.

“Obviously, that's not the intent of the bylaw at all,” she said. “It also disadvantages those smaller, local companies that can’t aﬀord to normalize that as a loophole around the 25-cent fee.” All food vendors with a business licence must comply with the disposable cup bylaw, with the 25-cent fee required to be displayed on menus, including online ordering platforms. Businesses keep the cup fees and are encouraged to invest in reusable cups for drinks to stay, commercial dishwashers and reusable cup-share programs. How many businesses are following that advice with their increased revenue is unclear. Coun. Pete Fry said during debate Tuesday that as the city’s representative on Metro Vancouver’s zero waste committee and national zero waste council, “I can tell you that lots of folks are looking with keen interest on what we're doing here.” “Obviously, it seems that it's our big corporate citizens that are probably the least agreeable to this work and least supportive, and that's unfortunate,” Fry said. “But I think there's also opportunity to make a shift with them, and I think it would be important to get them at the table on this.” The cup fee and ban on single-use plastic bags are in addition to bylaws covering polystyrene foam cups, foam takeout containers, plastic straws and single-use utensils that took eﬀect in 2020. The city’s website says every week that 2.6 million disposable cups and two million plastic shopping bags are thrown in the garbage in Vancouver [63 per cent of the bags are reused as garbage bags].

Cups and takeout containers make up about 50 per cent of all items collected in public waste bins and are a significant portion of litter on Vancouver streets, according to the city’s website. Starting with 2023 licence renewals, food vendors must report the number of singleuse cups distributed in the past 12 months at each licensed location when they renew their business licence each year. 'Going in the direction to kill it' The reporting requirement is waived for each business participating in a reusable cup-share program, which Coun. Michael Wiebe noted Tuesday would take a while to catch on in Vancouver. “It's going to take a while for them to implement, it's going to take a while for large corporations to shift the way they do business and customers to change behaviours,” Wiebe said. He said he struggled with supporting Bligh’s motion, and pointed out the financial hit many businesses have taken under pandemictriggered restrictions. The cost of takeout for business owners, particulary those who run small operations, has increased substantially, he said, noting he was glad more revenue was being generated for operators via the bylaw. “I like that what staff brought forward [with the bylaws],” said Wiebe, former owner of Side Hustle Sandwiches in Mount Pleasant. “I know there's some kinks in it. But I'm a little nervous that this is going in the direction to kill it.”

25-cent disposable cup fee to get second look

Bligh assured Wiebe that wasn’t her intention, which she reiterated in her interview with Vancouver Is Awesome when asked about having staff examine the effect of the bylaw and its unintended consequences on citizens. “I'd like to see something that incentivizes the right kind of behaviour — that would incentivize a business to demonstrate their ability to participate in reducing waste,” she said. “I don't want to pre-empt what some of those solutions could, or would be. But I think the run-up to this bylaw could have used a lot more engagement.” Registered charities and non-profit

corporations are not required to charge fees on single-use cups used to provide beverages for free or at low-cost to citizens, or report the number of cups used for this purpose. If a business doesn't comply with the single-use item bylaws, the city says its initial response will focus on education, outreach and support to help an owner adhere to the regulations. If that doesn’t work, enforcement may include issuing tickets, which carry a fine of $500 per offence. Further prosecutions in provincial court could be subject to a maximum fine of $10,000 per offence. By Mike Howell
