I've found it's almost irrelevant what the hats have of them. What these people desire is the attention it draws.
For obvious reasons most of these people would be completely unnoticed by society suddenly become the center of attention when wearing this stuff.
TLDR: BC NDP gets 68 rental housing built in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Canada for 10 Christy Clark(Previous BC United leader) yoga events i.e ~1.5m and people are not happy.
The NDP government provided a $31.8 million low-interest loan to Vancouver developer Jameson Development Corp. for the 68-unit rental building through the HousingHub program
His ministry said in a statement that the financing used to build the project at 1807 Larch St. will be fully paid back to the province, plus interest
The problem starts here where CBC did a segment that just interviewed a bunch of people to see what bad things they had to say about the project.

B.C. Green party leader Sonia Furstenau said that's "infuriating."
"People who need housing are not the people who can afford $4,200 a month in rent," she told CBC News
Deranged person B)
Andy Yan, an urban planner and director of Simon Fraser University's City Program, asked what the public interest was in subsidizing developers who are still charging rents that are out of reach for 75 per cent of Vancouver renters.
"It's an issue of what you're paying for versus what you're getting," Yan said.
The BC Conservative that used to be a Vancouver councilor: I genuinely can't make sense of whatever this person was trying to say. It was pretty much a human equivalent of someone slamming their keyboard a few times.

80% of units, totaling 54, will target at- or below-market level rents restricted to middle- income households within the provincial middle-income limits. Floor plans and prices.
20% of units, totaling 14, will be tenanted at moderate-income rent levels and to households earning less than $80,000 per year.
I haven't been able to find the exact figures but I've largely seen numbers like 2-3% better than market rates. I'm going to just be generous and round it up 5% accounting for some level defaults, that's 1.6m to produce 54 market rate rentals plus 14 below market rentals. People spend more than that on a single duplex.
If we scale that out to the original 2B program that would be 3,780 market rentals and 980 below market for only 5% opportunity cost of 2B. As someone who's gone over how hard it would be to build truly low cost housing that about as close as it gets.
$2,000,000,000 * 5% = $100,000,000
$100,000,000 /4,760 = 21k per unit
In this case is more about what you would get out of Biden, Harris, Vance or Trump.
As long as she's willing to strongly push for a ceasefire as American you got other things to worry about. And for the record I do agree it's a genocide.
As a Canadian I feel like people who support our right wing politicians are very generous with the accuracy of what they say and their American counterparts are even more so.
Yet somehow the Progressive side is held to this unusual standard where they're constantly painted as the villain if they're off by the slightest bit.
Housing, lying about voting reform, immigrations, 34 Billion dollar pipeline.
The senate should be elected.
How is this:
The Liberals did some good stuff. They could have done a ton more. But their changes have generally been baby steps in the right direction.
The same as this:
Liberals have done a good job governing, passing many laws and policies I support and generally making my life better.
How is it even a discussion that the Liberals did a "good" job. Can anyone actually provide anything tangible for this?
I really can't figure how someone looking at housing and think the Liberals did a good job.
No matter how bad the Conservatives were or will be doesn't mean the Liberals are good. What policies did the Liberals have that would have been better than the general ones from left parties NDP and Green.
Liberals have done a good job governing, passing many laws and policies I support and generally making my life better.
I'm genuinely astonished this comment has so many positive votes.

I'd love to see some type of Adblock like crowd sourced block lists. If the growth of other platforms is any indication there will probably be a day where it would be nice to block out a large amounts of accounts. I'd even pay for it.
