VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Anti-Olympics activists pushing for more social housing struck out this morning in their attempt to ‘evict’ MP David Emerson from his East Vancouver offices. APC members were met by security guards who had been hustled in to prevent any chaos. Earlier this year the offices of the Premier’s aide were ransacked by APC protesters.
David Cunningham with the APC blames the media for tipping off Emerson’s office. Cunningham says high-profile people with Olympic connections will continue to be targeted. In fact, he says the APC plans to escalate its actions, but won’t say how.
It’s part of the APC’s campaign to get the government to do more to help the poor and homeless. The protestors say they’re planning another ‘eviction’ in the next day or two.
