Safe supply of pharmaceutical alternatives is among the most important policy responses to our ongoing drug poisoning crisis. Access needs to be significantly expanded to save lives. Health Canada’s suspension of funding for these programs means many more people will die. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Who's ready to turn the page on this Ken Sim disaster? @onecityvan.bsky.social has launched plans to nominate a mayor who is passionate about affordable housing, climate justice, and high-quality community services. Want to help select that candidate? Join us! www.onecityvancouver.ca/membership

"I'm concerned that by cutting environmental programs, we're mortgaging our future," said @lucymaloney.bsky.social, a councillor with OneCity. That includes the city's commitment to fight climate change & improve residents' ability to adapt to climate disasters like extreme heat & wildfire smoke.

Deep gratitude for the activists and political leaders advancing a Vision Zero agenda. Traffic violence is not inevitable. Stopping it is possible and necessary.

For over 20 years I’ve admired Avi Lewis’s fierce advocacy for the working class and serious action on climate change. I’m thrilled to see him seek the leadership of the federal NDP.

As soon as Air Canada knew the strike was real, they made a deal. In other words, if the government had told Air Canada that they wouldn't force the striking workers back to work, this whole thing would've been avoided. The government constantly siding with corporations is why this chaos happened.

Physicians for Human Rights Israel published a report on the “deliberate and systematic dismantling of Gaza's health and life-sustaining systems” consistent with the definition of genocide. Here is CAPE’s full statement in support of PHRl's call to end genocide in Palestine: https://loom.ly/AZNTAtY

Exactly the result one would expect when you tear down modular homes and ban new supportive housing.

Words of condemnation are not enough. In the face of deliberate starvation & executions in Gaza, it's time for 🇨🇦 to impose economic sanctions on Israel. 🧵... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Thank you @ptfry.bsky.social for your long-standing work to make our streets safer!

Vision Zero: this is what public safety looks like. I just signed up to speak to Vancouver City Council in favour of safe streets. The deadline to do that is tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5pm.

Tenants need to know that Vancouver has their back. That's why @lucymaloney.bsky.social and @ptfry.bsky.social have brought a motion to bring back the Renter Office.

Thrilled to be able to vote for someone whose values reflect my own.

What an absolute joy and honour to attend the swearing in ceremony for Vancouver’s newest City Councillor @lucymaloney.bsky.social

Just published-- Harm reduction and treatment, along with prevention, are pillars of a serious response to the drug toxicity crisis. Harm reduction measures should be expanded to improve the health of people who use drugs and the capacity of the health system to respond. Full text: rdcu.be/efTls

Another day, another empty parking lot that should have housing. We can do better. We need Councillors that push to build new affordable homes in places with ZERO displacement. The solutions to the housing crisis are all around us. And sometimes they look like a parking lot!

Advance polls open TODAY at 8am! Vote at City Hall, and bring a friend! 453 West 12th Avenue (at Cambie St)

Safer and less congested streets are possible - but only if we have leadership that will put in the work. @lucymaloney.bsky.social will force votes on safer streets. Ken Sim will show us where he stands. And it won't be with you.

Breaking the rules, Sim style

Housing is increasingly precarious in Vancouver and more and more people are being plunged into homelessness. We need strong tenant protections city-wide to protect those of us who rent from bad actor developers.

Vancouver must be a city for all its people. I call on Council to reject Ken Sim's motion banning net-new supportive housing, ANYWHERE in our city.

"I had 99 problems and who would of thought getting access to housing would solve 90 of them". If You want to treat addiction, mental health challenges, and chronic health conditions people need access to more housing, not less. globalnews.ca/video/110340...
