"'Views of Vancouver is us, I started it,' he told me."
So says developer Peter Wall to reporter Dan Fumano in a Vancouver Sun article yesterday concerning a series of until-recently anonymous ads that alternately praise the city and attack current mayor Kennedy Stewart for his failure to deal with issues (crime, homelessness) that market-oriented developers such as Wall have a hand in creating.
A remarkable run of pronouns -- from "us" as "I" to "he" to "me". Much of what ails this city can be traced to lines like this.
