By most accounts, 2009 was the Year from Hell. It capped a decade in which, as Rebecca Mead wrote, there were no good answers. A terrorist attack on New York and Washington in 2001, Bush’s election and re-election (2000 and 2004) in the United States, a global financial catastrophe, hurricanes, war, and the crystallization, particularly here in Canada, of the ineptness of our political response to climate change. With all that badness at our backs, we’d be forgiven for wondering whether it will – or could – get better in 2010.

There’s no better way of finding out than by hitting the streets, so that’s what we did. In the pre-Christmas rush of 2009, what were ordinary Vancouveriter resolving for the coming year?
