Disrupted by construction of the Canada Line, Vancouver's new subway system, businesses on Cambie are going under, while City Hall stands, same as it ever was. At a press conference in front of Thai Away Home at Seventeenth and Cambie, yesterday, Laura Jones, of the Canadian Federation of Small businesses, a group that represents of 150 small and medium-sized businesses in BC, told reporters, "The businesses along Cambie Street have been dealt a body blow. How many members of the public would sacrificwe their jobs or forty to sixty percent of their income for the Canada Line? To loose these businesses is to loose the attachments in the community built over decades."
