The third annual Poverty Olympic Torch arrived in vancouver today six days ahead of the opening of the winter games. The torch bearers were accompanied by the three poverty olympic mascots itchy, creepy and chewy, a marching band and a group of hundreds of concerned citizens and community groups who oppose the 2010 Winter Games. Organizers say that public dollars could be more justly spent on ending poverty and homelessness.
