Vancouver East NDP MP Libby Davies, a city councillor from 1982 to 1993, fears that peace-friendly signs she helped launch within the city limits 25 years ago, proclaiming Vancouver to be a “Nuclear Weapons Free Zone”, are disappearing.

It's true. I live on SW Marine Drive and whenever I drive home westbound I was always proud to see the Welcome to Vancouver Nuclear Weapons Free Zone sign on my right. I haven't seen it for awhile but there is a glaringly obvious Welcome to Vancouver Home of the 2010 Olympics. I wonder if I put one in front of it that said Welcome to Vancouver now... Read more go home sign up, if I would get a $10,000 fine. I expect I would get ticketed but I bet if you did a poll, you would discover how many more people are disillusioned with the Olympics.

I don't think we can call Vancouver a City of Peace anymore, thanks to Gordon Campbell and his crew. We are now a city of smog and horrendous traffic, drive by shootings, people being stabbed, confusing and somewhat ugly architecture, homeless and vulnerable people walking the streets, overpriced condos, restaurants, tourist attractions, parking, shopping and certainly not world class.

At least we still have the mountains and the sea but you can't even swim in our oceans anymore. I hope we are still a nuclear free weapons zone, but no one would know it. We are just another concrete jungle and certainly not world class.

“Lest we forget” is the message we hear every November, but that hasn't diminished the popularity of video games about armed conflict. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is no exception.

What used to be a spontaneous and festive international popular event is becoming much more about big money and about supporting big business interests rather than paying tribute to those inspiring athletes and their values.
