Can anyone show me a link to this quote of hers? I’ve read about it on here many times, but can’t actually find where she said it.
Matt.
The first instance of it coming up in relation to the homelessness issue was this post in relation to the former Super 8 on Douglas being converted into a shelter/low-income housing. No link, no news story, no video. Just an anecdotal quote.
Lisa Helps says "bring it on" often, you can find many instances of her saying it. That attitude that she has eventually turned into a bit of a meme around here and elsewhere.
But like a lot of stuff involving politics on VV, there's a lot of misinformation that gets thrown around. Whether or not she actually said "bring it on" in the context that many on here claim is debatable. Unless someone can actually provide a reliable source, it's a pretty safe bet that she never said "bring it on" in that context. What we do know, however, it that she says it a lot, and often attaches it to political issues and challenges.
Given her long-time support for the homeless in Victoria (the courthouse tent city award being the most egregious), the natural reaction here was for her saying to be applied to the homelessness situation in Victoria.
