Shameful

The whales can't vote. Vancouver residents can. Last night, ABC and Vancouver Liberal Park Board Commissioners voted down stronger protections for marine wildlife. Want leaders who will stand up for Vancouver's coast, parks, and wildlife? Vote for Vancouver Greens. #VanPoli #MarineConservation

Big holes remain in Vancouver’s #FIFAWorldCup2026 human rights action plan, say advocates, when it comes to protecting people experiencing homelessness and poverty, and those marginalized for their drug use, mental health issues or survival sex work. @kehyslop.bsky.social reports. #vanpoli

Whales are returning to Burrard Inlet. Our rules need to catch up. Tell the Park Board to support Tom Digby's motion before June 1! win.newmode.net/greenpartyof... #VanPoli #MarineConservation

The Straight captures a bit of our toxic workplace at City Hall… ABC deliver in pettiness that we opposition councillors have sadly grown used to (like the proverbial frog in the boiling pot).. but often it causes real harm to the public we are charged to protect www.straight.com/city-culture...

We now have 6 members who have come forward as contestants to run for Park Board Commissioner. @imtiazpopat.bsky.social aims to bring his drive for social justice & understanding of our diverse communities to build policies that support everyone in Vancouver. www.vangreens.ca/meet_your_no...

We're developing at an accelerated rate. On Wednesday, May 20, @ptfry.bsky.social's motion will ensure non-profits, small business, and arts & cultural spaces are not left behind & pushed out of affordable locations. Sign up to speak BEFORE 5 PM TODAY, MAY 19! vancouver.ca/your-governm... #VanPoli

A newly constructed temporary plaza built next to an East Vancouver restaurant is raising questions as to whether it was accelerated due to the business’ connection to the mayor’s office. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Yesterday, an adversarial City Councillor leaned into my office uninvited to call me a “f#@!ng donkey” I think he meant it as an insult. But donkeys are intelligent, loyal, tough as heck, and regularly deployed to protect livestock from predators. That’s a nice compliment. Thanks! #donkey 🚫ABC

The thing about conflict of interest is *perception*. A normal taxpayer-funded plaza takes 6-10 months to approve, but if you are a neighbour in the employ of the mayor Ken Sim's office it takes less than four? 🤔 *perception* www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...
