This isnβt just a mistake an apology to @seanorr.bsky.social can fix. This is opens up the city to huge liability.
What other decisions has Ken Sim made that we now need to question the source and reliability of them?

We wholeheartedly agree with @seanorr.bsky.socialβscommitment to a progressive primary among the members of OneCity, COPE, and the Greens.
Unity gives Vancouver a real choice in October. (3/3)
@wazaroff.bsky.social has directed OneCityβs Board & Negotiating Team to table to COPE & the Greens a real unified primary to be held over the next 45 days.Β (2/3)
Ken Sim wonβt be defeated by posts, polls, or prayers. Heβll be defeated in a vote.
That takes conviction in a single progressive candidate who can unify this city. (1/3)
NIMBY tears.
If it walks like an ABC, and quacks like an ABC, it's probably an ABC.
In 2025, City Hall paralysis blocked 6 key sites from being developed. Ken Sim couldnβt build the majority required to get things done.
Enough. Iβm moving to immediately unlock these sites for 4,000 affordable homes. No more excuses. #VanPoli #HousingNow
Fun little programming note for Vancouver political nerds: @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social and I will be hosting a live OneCity mayoral debate between Will Azaroff and Amanda Burrows tomorrow on the Early Edition.
Tune in around 8:10!
(we'll have a podcast version as well)
Sophie Ngo and her husband spend three hours every day driving between Richmond and Vancouver just to drop off their two kids at different daycares. It is the only way they can find care. "I donβt know why itβs so hard," she says. She is right.

I'm proud to accept the endorsement of former City Councillor, Mayor, Leader of the Opposition, and Premier of BC, Mike Harcourt.
Mike Harcourt governed this city during a time of great change and great optimism. We need big changes in Vancouver. And we need to bring that spirit of optimism back.
Hatred and violence against Jewish communities has no place in Australia, Canada or anywhere. It is unacceptable that anyone should fear being themselves or expressing their faith publicly.
I'm a duel citizen of Australia and Canada. I'm sickened reading this morning about the antisemitic mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. My deepest condolences to families, friends and communities of the victims. May their memories be a blessing. +
According to @thetyee.ca , Iβm a housing CEO who used to make indie chess movies and rom-coms.
Honestly? Fair assessment.
We talked about running with @onecityvan.bsky.social, fixing our housing deficit, and why directing is actually great prep for City Hall.

NEW: City Council to consider cutting key committees (e.g. Arts and Culture, Renters, Older Persons and Elders) to silence citizens.
If City Hall doesn't work for citizens, then who does it work for? (hint: Ken's rich donors!)

Earlier this week the VSB held a meeting to hear from community members about the permanent closure of Carleton Elementary (6-acres of school land at Joyce/Kingsway). The school has been closed for 9 yearsβ¦

We can turn things around. But it will take serious leadership with the political will to invest in the housing and services we all need. 4 / 5
But today, building that good life is harder than it should be. Vancouver faces serious challenges: crumbling community centres, a housing crisis, and wealth inequality. 3 / 5
I care deeply about our city. I was born and raised here and I have always believed that this is a place where anyone, from anywhere, can come and build a good life. 2 / 5

My ABC Council colleagues are vocal about pushing back on the Province downloading responsibilities onto the City, but last night they voted to build on public open space to make up for the education funding shortfall, squarely the responsibility of the Province.

Tonight the ABC majority voted to build housing on part of Fleming Elementaryβs school grounds saying their hands were tied by Vancouver School Boardβs decision to divest school land to build rental housing despite an outcry from the community.
The timing of this video as Iβm reflecting on the revolt at City Council against Simβs budget cuts is just perfect.
Canβt wait to vote against all of ABC.
Graphic that says "Vancouver budget update: Road safety programs are at risk"
The 2026 Vancouver budget risks imposing cuts to road safety initiatives that we simply can't afford. With so few details being released, we call upon council to amend the budget to direct that essential transportation programs and staff be protected.
