Proposed locking of garbage bins

I disagree with the proposal to lock garbage bins in Vancouver.  Binners remove recyclables and other valuable items - millions of them - from the waste stream every year.  Binners are taking care of themselves and our urban environment and should be commended, not punished.

The so-called "war on homelessness" being declared - like it's a crime and not a social, economic and community issue - will not succeed unless the peace is brought through social housing, employment, addiction treatment, food programs and other basic social supports our community currently lacks.
