Panic and chaos at some fire halls in Van city today.

Panic and chaos as free salt is handed out at some Vancouver fire halls - NEWS 1130

Free salt is now white gold, baby!

It has been another chaotic day at some fire halls around Vancouver as people scrambled ahead of those in line to in order to snag some free salt being handed out by the city.

Yesterday, the offer caused people to take more than they were allowed, traffic tie-ups around the fire halls and, of course, frustration when the city ran out of what some are now calling ‘white gold.’

The City of Vancouver says there are two deliveries of salt to 10 fire halls and it’s asking those who need it to only take one small bucket’s worth — not two as previously stated or a garbage can full, like some may have hoped.

David waited for two hours at the fire hall on Prince Albert Street and he was left disappointed because he claims people jumped to the front of the line when the salt was dumped in the street. “I can imagine if this was an earthquake and we’re out of food and water and the United Nations delivered food — people would kill each other over that. Imagine that. This is only salt and people are just jumping in line.”

The confusion seemed to persist — many didn’t know where the line was, while others decided there was no line or order. “It’s like you throw a bunch of stuff out in the open and originally there was a line and then within 30 seconds everybody went crazy.”

Salt doesn't really work in this weather/temp anymore. The sidewalks are all icy and the temp is below 0.

The city should use sand on the sidwalks. Is much better than salt at this point.

The city doesn't care who does it.. if you don't do it, they just give you a citation.. then everyone at the house is in trouble. If someone fell and sue well everyone will have to find lawyers.. BTW it is the occupants' responsibility not the landlord's.

It is your responsibility to figure out who is responsible to do chores. eg The city doesn't care who pays the city tax as long as someone pays it.

Would that fall back on the landlord since there's more than one tenant?

Thanks

City should also give every Canadian a detached house while they are at it.

Sure City should clear sidewalks that don't have property in front it.. but if there are.. that's the job for the occupants / business.. if the city do it for them, they should bill them.

The people in desperate need of salt right now are the same people saying, "i dont need to shovel the snow. Its Vancouver. It'll all melt by tomorrow".
I'm laughing at these idiots right now.

Wow. People in this city continue to amaze me. Bike path is clear...well...walk on the bike path? Maybe learn to share the path instead of bitching about the city not doing duplicate work clearing TWO paths going to the same place.

Depends - are you the tenant living upstairs, in the basement, or the landlord?

It's salt, people! They treat it like white gold!

Shame on those elders! They make us CBC look bad!

Who said that you need to respect your elders??? Fuck that. Some of them are terrible role models!

My daily rant of the day. The Canucks are on a winning streak so I'm directing my wrath at some Chinese elders instead of towards the team.

Apparently Richmond started offering salt to its residents. My mom called me to say she was going to get some and wanted me to go get some for her as well. I refused, told her to behave herself and that I didn't want to see her on tonight's news.

Richmond Works Yard
5500 Lynas Lane

Can't find any info online, but 2 ppl have told me they're giving away salt here.

Raiding the salt reminds me when idiots from here were going to Bellingham a few years ago and raiding their milk.
