2015 MLA Convention on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoVancouver-ians,
Does anyone know if the Canada Line airport train to downtown stops near the Fairmont Waterfront? I see a Waterfront stop, but I can’t quite tell if it’s the same area as the hotel. How long does the train take from the airport to the Waterfront stop (which looks like the last stop)?
Thanks!
Stacey

As many of you will have heard, Resolution 2014-1 got 60% of the votes cast but did not reach the minimum of 10% of the total membership required (by a recent rule) in order to be officially adopted. Thank you to all who voted. I attach an op-ed by David Lloyd that to my mind gives a good sense of the meaning of the event:

I’m among the 1500, but what worries me more than the opposition is the apathy of those who did not care to cast any vote. Not that we are much different here in Poland… Thank you for your post.

This still counts as a major victory. I attach an op-ed by David Lloyd:
