That's a bit much. Their methods aren't effective, but their intentions are justified. A lot of corporate snuggling is going on this week, and Vancouver isn't going to see a dime of it, despite the fact that they've poured hundreds of millions into putting on the games. The obvious fact here is that Vancouver is one of the most socially aware cities in the world. Couple that with unprecedented homelessness and drug usage, you're going to have issues when the world's largest corporate circus moves in.
