It was an honour to attend the Khalsa Diwan Society Annual Sports Tournament. Congratulations to all the athletes and the Kabaddi players who came from around the world.

Engine 374 is the legendary locomotive that pulled the first transcontinental passenger train into Vancouver on May 23, 1887. Today, the Roundhouse Community Centre hosted a celebration for the 139th anniversary.

Today, on International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we stand against hate in all its forms.

$800 million for a new City Hall - while services fall behind? The Vancouver Liberals think Vancouver deserves better priorities. We’re focused on affordability, accountability, and real results. 🔗 Learn more at the link in bio @vancouverliberals.bsky.social @kareem42.bsky.social

“Even when he does show up for work it’s not clear what he’s doing.” -Kareem Allam youtube.com/shorts/yFxc_...

1/ Since 2022: ❌ Ken Sim has missed 36% of council meetings ❌ Ken Sim has missed 75% of Metro Vancouver meetings ❌ He has missed almost all Translink meetings

Ken Sim violated the city’s code of conduct when he attacked Sean Orr in a press conference for old tweets immediately after he was elected, an outside investigation has ruled

Ken Sim is a “tech cheerleader” who refuses to act in the public interest. While Sim says AI now does “all or a lot” of his work, he never followed through on his commitment to bring a Chief AI Officer into City Hall to improve services safely instead of creating new risks.

Moose Hide Campaign Day is a call to stand up against violence toward women and children. A moment to reflect and commit to doing better, together.

1/ Being mayor is a daily test of making hard decisions. But occasionally, a mayor faces an easy one. Since March, the Vancouver Liberals have called for suicide barriers on the Granville Bridge: x.com/kareemformayor…

Transparency and accountability at City Hall are non-negotiable. The Integrity Commissioner must protect ethics and public trust. The Vancouver Liberals will introduce an independent external review of the Integrity Commissioner’s office and strengthen the Code of Conduct for elected officials.

We need more accountability from Ken Sim on this - exactly what "AI agents" are doing what work? 🤔

We all call personal tasks "work" right? 👀

Update: what's coming while I'm on mat leave - very soon! For the last five years, you've known me as Politics With Jess - because I've been sharing non-partisan political education around Vancouver Municipal Politics. As most of you will know - I am about to have a baby in the next few weeks.

Valid question from @kareem42.bsky.social 👇🏻 Is AI doing a lot of your work... or none of your work... 🤔

1/ Ken Sim must disclose which 11 AI agents he is using. He must disclose whether government data and the personal information of Vancouver residents are being aggregated in data farms in the United States and China.

Bringing young people back starts with world class frontline services.

City services should work. Right now, too many don’t. We’re investing in the people who actually keep Vancouver running. Cleaner streets. Stronger communities. Better services. Together we can ❤️ @vancouverliberals.bsky.social @kareem42.bsky.social

We cannot shut down the number one source of getting people into treatment and recover (SCS and OPS). 1) From 2017-2023: 257,000 people were referred to social services, including addiction treatment, in Canada. 2) In a study at INSITE, 57% of users entered treatment and detox.

This is a big deal. We need to support our fire fighters - they're doing crucial work to keep people safe in Vancouver, and funding/staffing/mental health supports for them shouldn't be an afterthought. They need to be a priority.

Vancouver’s firefighters are carrying this city through its hardest moments. As Vancouver grows, our fire service must grow with it. The Vancouver Liberals will support proper staffing and transparent deployment planning to ensure firefighters have the resources they need to keep our city safe.

It was an honour for the Vancouver Liberal team to support the Kids Play Foundation at their annual gala. Kids Play has helped thousands of kids through sports, mentorship programs, and drug and gang awareness training to give the next generation the foundational skills to succeed.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.

A CANZUK deal could strengthen trade, expand opportunity, and position Vancouver as an international economic hub. It’s time for Vancouver to lead.

Grateful to everyone who has been supporting us. Campaigns take a team and we have a great one 🔥

Last week’s fundraiser brought together an incredible group of supporters. Thank you to everyone who came out and made this fundraising event such a success.

Ken Sim the businessman would fire Ken Sim the mayor.

Vancouver was promised a new art gallery. Instead, we got a $600M mistake! We need accountability at City Hall. That’s why I’m calling for an Auditor General’s investigation.

And also with you.

May the Fourth be with you.

It's almost time for maternity leave! When I decided to run for Vancouver City Council - a big part of that decision was based on how inclusive and supportive this team is.

Every little bit helps. Special thanks to my good friend and biggest supporter - @kareem42.bsky.social who is leading the way with an inclusive and positive party, which is the energy we need for a progressive win in Vancouver. Together we can ❤️

Vancouver Liberals stopped by Olympic Village to see the first Dragon Boat BC race of the season! Good luck to everyone out on the water in False Creek, and what a beautiful day for it ☀️🌊 @vancouverliberals.bsky.social @kareem42.bsky.social

1/ It was an honour to participate in a screening of “Promises”, this week, a film that highlighted the history of Sikh soldiers and veterans fighting for his majesty’s crown during the WWII. www.instagram.com/lillianbrar_...

May Day, International Worker's Day, is about recognizing the collective power of workers. The organizing power of workers is the reason why we have the protections and rights we do today - but we need to continue to advocate for equity, inclusion, and labour rights for all. #MayDay #VanPoli

With a global soccer tournament weeks away, I visited Ally Global and spoke with Kathleen about youth trafficking and how we protect young people during major events. These are conversations we should all be having. 🧡

Our team is growing! Thanks to you!

April 28th is the National Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job. Today, we renew our commitment to workers' safety, because everyone deserves to return home safely from work.

We have industrial age rules in Vancouver that are stifling our creative and digital economies. It is time to update those rules that are hurting our small businesses.

Did you know that cherries, apples, pears, plums, and even almonds are all part of the same Rosaceae family? 🌸🍎 Today we joined a nature walk with the @vancherryblossomfest and learned so much from our host Egan Davis about the significance of these trees in Vancouver.

ALLAM: Vancouver stopped building. Here's how we start again

74th year of Kerrisdale baseball starts today.

@vancouverliberals.bsky.social in Kerrisdale for the Little League Parade & Kerrisdale Carnival Days! Healthy communities need funded parks & rec, so kids & communities are active and healthy!  Cheers to all the teams as they start this next season ⚾  Thanks to everyone who made today happen!

Good to meet @kareem42.bsky.social to talk housing, policy and politics yesterday. (Fyi I enjoy a good policy rant when paired with a happy hour ipa at Brassneck) My ongoing question: how do we bring some energy and ambition to the mayor’s race?

Vancouver Liberals are all passionate about Vancouver... But we are also really good FRIENDS....

Love working with friends on this campaign 🤓❤️
