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!) council.vancouver.ca/20251209/doc...

Had a chance to sit down with William Azaroff, who wants to be @onecityvan.bsky.social's Vancouver mayoral candidate. Interview with fellow nominee Amanda Burrows coming soon! William Azaroff, Who Builds Non-Profit Housing, Runs for Mayor via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/12...

I'm so thrilled that we have not just one but two accomplished, community-serving, values-driven leaders vying to be nominated by OneCity members as our first Mayoral candidate, in an open, transparent process. Bring it on @wazaroff.bsky.social, Amanda Burrows and @onecityvan.bsky.social

I'm thinking today of the dozens of CoV team members that Ken Sim has fired, right before the holidays, thanks to his election-year budget stunt. Workers keep us moving. We need to invest in our city and its services, and we need great people working for our city to do that.

Ken Sim and ABC Vancouver just killed the Social Housing Initiative. A program that could have actually gotten people off the streets and into homes? Dead.

By “sovreignty” he means “states should be weak enough so that billionaires like me should be able to treat them as feudal vassals” bsky.app/profile/lora...

Happy birthday! (Going through my mom's emails this morning and we had an exchange — on September 21, 2024 — about your Yale Review essay. I shared it with her & she wrote back that she loved it & would reread it more slowly on the weekend.)

We could commission a statue made of busted Meta glasses?

Trans women has been welcomed at the Women's Institute since the 1970s and one member is in her 80's and has been a member for decades. This is pure bigotry pushed by legal threats backed monetarily by JK Rowling. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Thomas King now faces a firestorm over his claims to Indigeneity. Here’s all he needed to say #Opinion from Star contributor Michelle Good

This explains so much of what we are seeing.

I was able to donate 50. It was doubled. Who can join me? Please.

Sally Rooney last year: "It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that we are witnessing an unfolding genocide.. the roots of this particular tragedy are in the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine & the apartheid system.. keep protesting.. it is the least that we can do"

Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, has died. She was 111. "I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021. Geoff Bennett has more.

Wow. BBC journalists are now not even allowed to report the censored line from my Reith Lecture, that Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” You can hear how carefully they’re forced to tiptoe around it. So chilling...

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

The northern lights could appear as far south as northern Iowa and South Dakota, according to NOAA’s view line.

Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

The people who do this, who conceived of it, who demand it, are real life monsters.

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th. Chant: “Tax the rich tax, the motherf*cking rich.”

LIBRARIES MAKE BOOKS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, she shouts, apparently inaudibly WHY DO THESE "YOU'RE A CLASS TRAITOR" PEOPLE KEEP PRETENDING LIBRARIES DON'T EXIST? ARE THEY CLASS TRAITORS WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LIBRARIES?

The most opposed budget in Vancouver history has been passed. This is precisely why people have lost faith in the council meeting “democratic process.” When a decision is cooked to empower the wealthiest class and the armed force funded to protect them, it doesn’t matter how many show up against it.

It's Budget Day in Vancouver. #VanPoli

Also, check out @jmcelroy.bsky.social 's budget story on CBC News Vancouver. As usual, he digs deep into the numbers. VPD budget 2022: $349.6 million 2026: $497.1 million. His story is here: www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

About a dozen parents and children here at Vancouver city hall this morning for a change-in protest in response to the city looking at removing change tables and hygiene stations. Today, council votes on the 2026 budget that would see a zero percent property tax increase.

Ultraprocessed foods, like breakfast cereals, frozen meals and processed meats, have been linked to colorectal cancer and other digestive conditions. Here's what to know.

Congrats to the 21,000 @uptecwa.bsky.social health care, research and technical workers at the University of California on voting to ratify their new contract! After 17 months of negotiations, this new contract is a testament to the power of our solidarity.

“In my work with cities, one of my messages that resonates most is that the truth about the cities aspirations isn’t found in its plans and visions. It’s found in its budget. A budget may be the most powerful public policy lever a Council has, and the most authentic one because It reveals so much.”

We just submitted an open letter to Vancouver Council signed by 250+ residents, including >100 physicians & other health professionals, urging them to withdraw the proposed 2026 budget. The budget puts climate action, public health, & community safety at risk. @womentcities.bsky.social

Tuesday is Budget debate day at City Council. We've seen an unprecedented fight back against this awful proposed Budget. Add your voice now! Last chance to tell Councillors to do the right thing and stop Ken Sim's cuts. Send your letter: votecope.ca/stopsim

Here is the report from the Vancouver Park Board detailing increases to fees and charges for recreation services in this year's "Zero Means Zero" budget. parkboardmeetings.vancouver.ca/2025/2025112...

It's our last chance to stop Ken Sim's plan to slash city services to give a hand-out to the super-rich. Send a letter to City Council to join your neighbours in fighting back: votecope.ca/stopsim

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

A year ago, @vanalias.bsky.social told @thetyee.ca B.C.'s new name change law would hurt trans people, Indigenous people, people fleeing domestic violence, & others. Now, Andrew Macleod reports, government is reviewing the law. thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

You wouldn’t believe the lengths @kehyslop.bsky.social had to go to to get basic info on the training for school liaison officers. This contoversial VPD program was briefly shuttered in 2021 before being reinstated in 2023. #vanpoli thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...
