With enough content to fill your stocking, Megaphone uses its final issue of 2013 to look back on the news that was this year.

From contentious city-neighbourhood planning process, to cops cracking down on Downtown Eastside residents, it was a big year for Vancouver's marginalized. With many issues far from resolved, we show how they'll shape Vancouver in 2014 and beyond.

Also in this issue: Victoria's renter awareness program spreads tenant rights and responsibilities lessons; Megaphone vendor Ron McGrath spreads some warmth to his customers; Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh spins a special Christmas yarn; "Pope of Trash" film director John Waters explains why he relates to society's marginalized; and much, much more.
