Olympics Welcome to Vancouver signs paintbombed

26 February 2008 Coast Salish Territories (Vancouver)
Three olympic Welcome to Vancouver signs (at the southern highway entrances to Vancouver) were attacked with paintbombs. The presence of the olympics in our city makes us sick. Its signs and symbols litter the city, it speeds up gentrification, and is an insult to native peoples. We hope that the IOC (International Olympic Committee) president feels unwelcome and the resistance to the olympics continues to spread.
