Vancouver city staff recommend dropping Mayor Ken Sim's bitcoin motion | CBC News Vancouver city staff are taking stock of what council motions they should work on for the rest of the year — and one of the motions on the chopping block is a pet project from Mayor Ken Sim.

Here’s my story on Vancouver staff recommending that the city stop considering Ken Sim’s bitcoin dreams

I’m told there’s very little chance the mayor ends up “dying on this hill” as he promised last year

NGL, first time I read this post, I read it as “llama” and was very confused.

Never a bad choice.

"please stop pointing out that the most cop-friendly mayor of Vancouver in decades is lying about his opponents"

Police unions stop showing their whole asses: mission impossible.

COPE Councillor Considering Next Steps After Mayor’s False Drug Accusations | The Tyee Ken Sim wrongly accused Sean Orr of dealing illegal drugs and initially let another councillor take the blame.

Mayor Ken Sim has said he was shown a photo that led to him making a false accusation against Coun. Sean Orr.

There IS a fake AI image that came out around Christmas that sort of matches the allegations. @kehyslop.bsky.social asked Sim about this yesterday. #vanpoli

Vancouver’s Chinese community says mayor’s apology isn’t good enough Some members of Vancouver’s Chinese community say they’re not satisfied with Mayor Ken Sim’s apology following his false claims that a city councillor distributed drugs on Christmas Day.

“'Fairchild TV News has not received any statement in Cantonese and/or Mandarin from Mayor Ken Sim, despite Sim stating he would do so yesterday,' said Albert Tsui, with Fairchild TV News."

bingo

Vancouver tops Toronto, Halifax as Canada's most traffic-congested city Canada-wide, drivers only proceed an average of 8 kilometres in 15 minutes during the evening rush hour

This is your annual reminder to ignore the tomtom congestion index coverage because the methodology is car-brained.

"How far can I travel" is the wrong metric.

When things are closer together, you don't need to travel as far to get things done!

"How many things can I get to?" is the right metric

Really important story by Andrea here:

Who You Gonna Call? Not 911 on BC’s Central Coast | The Tyee Despite the province's push for better emergency management, much of the coast lacks emergency calling capacity.

I was surprised to learn that 911, the number we automatically call in an emergency, is not available along much of BC's coast.

My latest for @thetyee.ca looks at efforts to bring 911 to communities like Bella Coola and why BC needs province-wide oversight of 911.

These authors reviewed 73 previous studies examining car touchscreens.

Conclusion: They're awful

"Touchscreens tended to have negative effects on driving performance, visual attention, and secondary task performance compared with voice control and physical controls."

Just watched Ken Sim's news conference about the lies he told about Sean Orr (and, via Lenny Zhou, about all non-ABC councillors)

We are one press conference and a media availability in, yet no closer to answers or accountability. Sim took three questions and bolted from the mic 🧵
