Classic win-now move. You have to give Pittsburgh credit for going for it while their championship window is open.

“Today is the first time I’ve uttered the word ‘Cheech’ and not smiled” - John Shorthouse on SN650 relaying the words he received from Chris Cuthbert after hearing about John Garrett’s passing

“COPE has Sean's back. So does Vancouver. We’re going to ensure he’s re-elected with a commanding mandate.” Full statement: www.votecope.ca/news/

SueKenSim.ca has raised nearly $8,000 in less than 5 hours.

Lawsuits are expensive. Unlike Ken, Sean wasn't elected as a wealthy man with friends in high places. But he does have you. If you don't have much to give, give $16 (the number of times Ken apologized in one interview). If you have more, please give more. SueKenSim.ca Please share.

Sean Orr has filed legal action against Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim for saying to media without evidence that Orr was dealing drugs on Christmas Day

ABC Lenny Zhou deleted #WeChat video (smearing ALL #Vanpoli opposition councillors as drug users & drug dealers) & apologized But in English only Meaning thousands of Mandarin Chinese speakers in Vancouver may not know this is a lie. Mike Tan via @vyas.bsky.social www.tiktok.com/@miketanyvr/...

Mike Tan, running for a OneCity nomination, offers his perspective on Mayor Ken Sim/Cllr Zhou’s manipulation of the Chinese community against Cllr @seanorr.bsky.social

This is such an important point: the toxic drug crisis is not an issue of the DTES or of Vancouver, the plurality of deaths occur in towns across BC. It's easy to ignore when you assume it's just some group of "others" dying on the street. But it's not. It's your neighbours. Dying in their homes.

Sean Orr is all but certain to run for council instead of mayor, but him getting thousands more views for his announcement than Azaroff’s ultimatum post is an affirmation to COPE supporters that they have their own leverage in these conversations

if the city is removing these important ways for residents to communicate concerns to the government they should just post the $450,000 per year city manager donnie van dyk’s address so we can talk to him in person

Been covering DULF's constitutional challenge for @thetyee.ca this week. Crown prosecutors have tried to poke lots of small holes in what founders Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum were doing. Nyx and Kalicum have largely defended themselves saying they were doing the best they knew how at the time.

when you hear city councillors like @lisadominato.bsky.social say that this budget reduces the financial pressure on seniors, people with disabilities, and families — remember all of those people can defer their property taxes indefinitely. this is a bad argument I hear too often.

The Cowichan hysteria keeps getting dumber. Now cities are coming out to make statements about old land claims - if the news is going to cover it, they should mention it's been on the First Nation's website for nearly a decade. It's not some big secret. 1/2 globalnews.ca/news/1153572...

Pretty proud of this one

Vancouver's last all-night drop in centre for street-based sex workers is facing an uncertain future as the city considers changing how its funded. If the KCS closed there would be no other drop in centres for sex workers, anywhere in the city. That's dangerous. thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

no fund city

Health Canada convened an independent expert advisory group in 2020 to provide guidance on safer supply. Health Canada heavily redacted its final report, but unredacted version obtained by CBC shows the expert group said drug crisis is driven by prohibition and recommended expansion of safer supply

very impressed by COPE Councillor Orr for reporting summaries of every speaker for this budget, and actually staying until the end unlike most ABC councillors my crude count is there were less than 10 in favour, roughly 260 opposed, with around 330 more speakers to go.

Austerity budgets are always about short-term gains, and long term losses. Vancouver's City Council is voting on a budget that will save little and cost the city much. stewartprest.substack.com/p/vancouver-...

we all understand what's happening here, right

In 100 per cent unsurprising news, the bank that supposedly pulled funding from a Richmond project because of the Cowichan court decision says it definitely did not pull funding because of the Cowichan court decision www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/national/cou...

this is why watching sports from the west coast is superior

Playoff hockey OT has the “snort cocaine riding a motorcycle out of a helicopter” quote, but playoff baseball extra innings is like playing Russian Roulette every fifteen seconds

Why is an ABC Vancouver politician contacting a person making death threats against Councillor Orr? This person claims to know Orr's address, is doxxing him, and advising people on how to break into his home. Does ABC Mayor Ken Sim condone doxxing and murdering public officials? #vanpoli

Seriously considering using this when teaching Aboriginal Title (under Cdn settler law). You can trace these stages in the caselaw, from St. Catherine's Milling (3-5) to Calder (5-6) to Tsilhqot'in (6-7).

Late November, time to crack out the Lydia Tàr Christmas album

she's the reason the "international human rights regime" still has meanings

Bok, in an epic project, "investigate[d] the moneyed world of conferences and contracting that has sprung up around urban solutions — and whether they’re actually solving anything at all." Thrilled to see some of the first reporting on her findings.
