no more sex on our streets!

Phillip Owen, the Mayor of Vancouver, has rejected our petition for

ZERO TOLERANCE on
STREET PROSTITUTION AND DRUG TRADE ACTIVITY.

He refuses to support our demands for enforcement of ZERO TOLERANCE because "it simply results in moving the problem to another neighbourhood."

Do you want your children to walk to school without passing several hookers?
Do you want to walk on the street without being propositioned by johns?
Do you want to step out your front door without wading through condoms?
Do you want your children to play in the park without being stabbed by needles?
Do you want to get rid of rush hour traffic at midnight on your streets?
Do you want to look out your windows and not see sex acts performed in broad daylight?
Do you want your daughters to be recruited by pimps at school?
Do you see drug dealers selling drugs on your street?
Have you been a victim of break and enter recently?
Has your car been stolen or vandalized?
Have you been stalked as you walk home?

Why THIS neighbourhood? The Mayor has declared our neighbourhood to be the
UNOFFICIAL RED LIGHT DISTRICT FOR VANCOUVER.

NO MORE!!!
We will NOT tolerate this any longer.
