Emperor VanOC

Vancouver Sun had an article about street closures for 2010. VanOC has chosen to close down nine major downtown Vancouver routes during the Olympics. Here's a map from Vanoucouver Sun:



Closing any routes they want, bullying small businesses, what looks like an infinite well of cash to tap into, forcing GM Place to change names during the Olympics, enforcing air travel restrictions. VanOC is mighty powerful.

Thank goodness the VanOC board elected themselves in, I wanted no part in deciding who would be part of the board, especially since they're as powerful as they are. I'm not a very big fan of democracy, which is why I like Napoleon so much.

Napoleon wasn't voted in as leader, he marched into the city and crowned himself. Then he went and did whatever the hell he wanted to, and no one else had the cahones to stand up to him. Now replace Napoleon with VanOC.
