Lowering the costs to market developers/builders *without* making it a requirement that these savings are passed on to renters/buyers will just create a better profit margin for investors. I havent seen any such requirements from city/provincial/federal cost cutting programs.

"Sorry developers, but that's fair." @stephanieformayor.bsky.social @seanorr.bsky.social

ABC cuts road safety, headlight motion passes at FCM, and Stephanie Allen has a plan for the Mayor’s Office Read all about it in this month's Orr Report: www.votecope.ca/news/orr-rep... @seanorr.bsky.social

Ken Sim and ABC's list of failure, betrayals, and controversies is too big for a single video. @stephanieformayor.bsky.social , @seanorr.bsky.social , and COPE are going to go the opposite direction.

"We can build a city that makes us proud, that takes care of people, and pushes the envelope and innovates to make life better for everyone.. I will fight every single day to make this city more affordable for people." - @stephanieformayor.bsky.social www.votecope.ca/stephaniefor...

"For too long, Vancouver has been a playground for the super-rich. Working people are getting sold out, priced out, and steamrolled by the power of predatory wealth... Vancouver doesn't have to be this way." @stephanieformayor.bsky.social dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

Stephanie Allen and COPE are the exact opposite of Ken Sim and ABC. We got this: @stephanieformayor.bsky.social @seanorr.bsky.social

Amazon pushes an update that automatically turns off delivery drivers' AC during a dangerous heat wave - triggered after 30 seconds of not being seated They made $717B in profit in 2025, yet continue to cut costs at the expense of their employees. Don't use Amazon. Support your local businesses.

Today Ken Sim and ABC rejected a plan to make the roads safer. In the GVRD, 100 people die every year from fatal car accidents. ABC voted to make the streets less safe. @seanorr.bsky.social @stephanieformayor.bsky.social

"It’s very concerning to see the continued disregard for accessibility. Change is urgently due." - @stephanieformayor.bsky.social

Amazing time at the SEIU Local 2 picnic meeting SkyTrain cleaners. All power to the people. But also, we dance. A quick 🧵

"City staff who've lost their jobs, and those anxious about whether they're next, deserve to understand the full impact 'Zero Means Zero' Budget has had... And the public deserves a Council who conducts their duties with transparency, accountability, and care." - @stephanieformayor.bsky.social

ABC just voted to ignore the Integrity Commissioner's recommendations and let Ken Sim completely off the hook for Misuse of Office and Harassing Conduct. On October 17th, we're going to elect @stephanieformayor.bsky.social and restore integrity at City Hall.

In October, this nonsense ends. A COPE-led council majority will make sure that the Integrity Commissioner has the power to take real action and hold politicians accountable that betray the public trust, regardless of how many friends they have on council. @stephanieformayor.bsky.social

"When I’m Mayor, we’ll give the Integrity Commissioner the power to independently levy meaningful penalties against politicians and work to repair against misconduct.” - @stephanieformayor.bsky.social www.biv.com/biv-rss-news...

"Low-income youth & working-age adults are still adding full-priced transit fares to their soaring list of expenses." The fight for an affordable city includes public transit. Sign up by 5pm Tues to speak in support of Sean Orr's motion for a low-income transit pass: vancouver.ca/your-governm...

in B.C. the fine for driving 20km/hr over the speed limit is $138 in Vancouver the fine for failing to pay bus fare is $173

Just imagine the affordable homes this money could have been spent building.

American billionaires are buying up record amounts of farmland in BC. While provinces like Quebec have put heavy restrictions on foreign ownership, we’re watching some of the richest men in America make huge speculative purchases - pushing out locals and taking valuable land from farmers.

NEW: Just weeks after ABC approved a School Board Budget that cut the District Librarian & school support workers, ABC & others have voted to increase the pay of Board members. ABC trustee Zhang, who's missed most meetings this year, voted for the pay hike. Only COPE's Suzie Mah voted against.

Zero consultation. Zero environmental review. Zero public benefits. Billionaires will get a publicly funded payday. Sign our petition below.

“...I think the moment is different and COPE is different. I really see a home for my values. And I can bring my professional expertise to the job of bringing those values to the political office of mayor.” @stephanieformayor.bsky.social www.biv.com/biv-rss-link... #FightForVancouver

Is Vancouver ready for a Mayor this real? We think so. @stephanieformayor.bsky.social is going to expose the system and fight to make it easier to build a life here. And she’s going to tell the truth.

The Integrity Commissioner ruled on three areas where Mayor Sim violated the Code of Conduct: Misusing the influence of his office, harassing conduct, and continued harassing conduct. // Quote below: @stephanieformayor.bsky.social

We've had a lot of requests about our new run of COPE merch- we've got a donation portal set up now so you can get your hands on some cool threads and support the movement. www.copevancouver.ca/donate_for_m...

Cruelty, brutality and torture needs to end!! ‘Failed experiment in human suffering’: Alligator Alcatraz immigration jail to close

Last week Ken Sim and his ABC council voted twice to put lives at risk. Then, they approved a pilot project to sell out delivery workers and help pad the pockets of private equity investors in Silicon Valley. Embarrassing? Repulsive? Foolish? You pick the adjective.

“Ken Sim is in many ways a uniquely bad mayor. But he’s just a symptom. Our job isn’t only to replace him, but to challenge the system of violence that abandons people in the streets, dismantles public services, and sells people out.” - @stephanieformayor.bsky.social The election is October 17th.

“We’re thrilled to have nominated a group of incredible candidates who are going to fight for Vancouver. Now the real work starts: talking to people, sharing our agenda for City Hall, and taking on Ken Sim and the system he represents.” More on nominated candidates: www.votecope.ca/news/cope-me...

So honoured to be @copevancouver.bsky.social’s ‘26 mayoral candidate. This moment calls us to be courageous, to name the root causes of the systemic issues facing our communities, & to fight back against the destructive power of the billionaire class. A caring city w power to the people. Let’s go!

"Public lands have to be used for public housing. For non-market housing, there's some really important levers like community land trusts...So that the people that work in the city can stay in the city and build a life here.” - @stephanieformayor.bsky.social www.biv.com/biv-rss-link...
