Also in this issue: Victoria's new police chief takes a friendlier approach than his predecessor to low-income people and their allies; a provincial rental subsidy for seniors could go a long way to improving housing security if more people applied; vendor Hendrik Beune talks about the many lives--and jobs--he had before selling Megaphone; Canada's proposed anti-prostitution law gets sex workers and their customers all wrong; and much more!
