On the same day the Auditor General reports a $33M infrastructure deficit for recreation facilities and the VPD projects it will be $8M over budget the Mayor presents an April Fool’s joke to the public as fact dailyhive.com/vancouver/wo...

Vancouver’s Integrity Commissioner has found Mayor Ken Sim and ABC councillors broke the code of conduct on multiple occasions for coordinating amendments to controversial motions in separate private online conversations ahead of public council meetings

Truly disappointed to see the Park Board indefinitely shelving the Trout Lake Dog Park Renewal and Jonathan Rogers Park Renewal in favour of renewing a VSB turf field that has 5+ years of life left.

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is sidestepping questions on how the budget for a five-million-dollar task force aimed at cracking down on the Downtown Eastside was approved. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Vancouver mayor says party took a ‘hard look’ inward after byelection losses and found not much.

Elections BC has released their 2024 financial reports for political parties. Let's review in light of the by-election results... elections.bc.ca/news/2024-an... 1. COPE ran the most efficient campaign, spending $1.97/vote #vanpoli ... 1/

Vancouverites have overwhelmingly rejected the direction of ABC. Both successful candidates campaigned against abolishing the elected Park Board. @davidebybc.bsky.social @jervaler.bsky.social, no democratically elected body should be suspended without a clear mandate from voters. #vanpoli #bcpoli 1/

Getting our vote on today! She voted for team Whale! Advanced polling is open today at City Hall till 8 PM. Can't make it? General election day is April 5th!

If by-election candidates can’t attend debates because they can’t “fit them into” their calendars, how can they expect to meet the challenges and time expectations of being a City Councillor? Is Ken Sim’s 33% attendance record even too much for them?? @vote4abc.bsky.social 🤔

If ABC cared about integrity they would have already moved to implement the recommended changes in this report (and those the IC herself recommended in her annual reports). Instead it is clear that this review was a guise to halt the IC and the investigation into the Mayor/Mayor's office. #vanpoli

Shoutout to ABC for giving my parents a surprise lawn makeover—because who needs consent when you have a sign, right?

Unfortunately, it’s a sign of our times that residents must contact @vote4abc.bsky.social to have elections signs removed from our property. If you want your sign removed, contact Tara at [email protected]

2023 was the most stressful year of my life. The immense pressure from the party to break rules and vote against my values, or "face discipline", nearly broke me. Oh and I was pregnant. I'll never forgive Ken or ABC for how they treated me.

Given all we face as a city, we need to come together, not block out the voices we don’t want to hear.  Today, Mayor Ken Sim has abandoned the core principles that brought me to ABC. Afforadbility has not improved, property taxes are up, and Vancouverites have had enough.

I applaud @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social for standing up for what's right and speaking out, even when it's difficult. The priority of the City and it's people are above that of your party. #vanpoli

Comm Bastyovanszky and I are bringing a related motion to Park Board to work with the City and other partners/stakeholders to explore upgrading Harbour Green Dock for commercial ferry operations. Excited to collaborate with @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social on this green initiative! ⛴️💚 #vanpoli

I do not condone vandalism, but...

This is how you go about making changes if you aren't happy with the governance. Not boycotting the meetings and blaming everyone else. #leadership #vanpoli

Plot twist: Since elected two years ago, Mayor Sim has barely attended Metro meetings in the first place - despite campaigning on Kennedy Stewart’s absenteeism, Sim’s attendance record has been far worse. Newfound concern for accountability seems opportunistic at best. @jarmstrongbc.bsky.social

“No consultation with the non-profit housing sector that delivers more than 30,000 non-profit homes…, incl 5,400 homes with supports for people with disabilities, seniors, veterans, youth, those experiencing gender-based violence, people with mental illness & those affected by substance use.”

A comprehensive article that highlights a less-known role of Park Board commissioners, the close relationship with community centre associations, and some drama 🫖 www.vancitylookout.com/p/a-year-of-... #vanpoli

This is going to ruffle feathers and I might not usually agree with Kirby-Yung, but I fully support this move to universal water metering #vanpoli vancouversun.com/news/local-n...

Thrilled to see some ABC clrs voting their conscience and not as they are told to by the party. And of course excellent work by Fry and Carr for standing up for what's right.

Seems fitting for my first post to be a copy over from the old place. Ken Sim and ABC have raised taxes 26% over 3 years...more than any other mayor in Vancouver history. And he is supposed to be a fiscal conservative? #vanpoli
