A large Regency house. Two sisters named Emilia and Charlotte talk on an upper floor. "Mister Blackwell has come to call again." says Emilia as she looks out of the window "Oh, how I despise his uncouth manners and electric bicycle!" Charlotte says "Sister, you will end up a spinster if you insist on a historically accurate suitor." and continues "The romance novel has changed, Emilia, and so must we." Emilia replies "Easy for you to say. You are engaged to the richest werewolf in the county!" They are walking through the house. Charlotte says "Look at Cousin Lucy: She is quite plain, yet made a most advantageous match with the dragon queen of nalthrax." "True." says Emilia opening the door. The tall, solid figure of Miuster Blackwell stands at the door wearing a top hat and tailcoat: "Ladies, I triumphed In my ice hockey match and won ten thousand a year in sponsorship! Miss Emilia, will you be my bride?" he is holding a hockey stick. Emilia swoons into Charlotte's arms.

Mayor Ken Sim has said he was shown a photo that led to him making a false accusation against Coun. Sean Orr.

There IS a fake AI image that came out around Christmas that sort of matches the allegations. @kehyslop.bsky.social asked Sim about this yesterday. #vanpoli

Vancouver’s Chinese community says mayor’s apology isn’t good enough Some members of Vancouver’s Chinese community say they’re not satisfied with Mayor Ken Sim’s apology following his false claims that a city councillor distributed drugs on Christmas Day.

“'Fairchild TV News has not received any statement in Cantonese and/or Mandarin from Mayor Ken Sim, despite Sim stating he would do so yesterday,' said Albert Tsui, with Fairchild TV News."

One bit of good news in a sea of postponements by the city of Vancouver is this:

"Staff have conclusively determined that under the Vancouver Charter, Bitcoin is not an allowable investment asset for the City, and therefore recommends that this work be concluded"

YUP! 👇

The only thing I can think is that Sim and his camp knew Orr was going to speak with the media, and they wanted to get out ahead of it? But yeah, it baffles the mind how badly they're bungling this whole thing.

Wow, what a terrible headline. He didn’t “apologize 18 times,” he said 18 times that he’d already apologized (which, given his behaviour so far, is clearly a claim that should be verified before it’s reported).

Can I ask what you listed it for? I've got a Kesler jersey to sell.

Worth noting that on a different website, multiple ABC Vancouver officials follow accounts that post constantly about how Sean Orr is a terrible human being and make all sorts of unproven claims, including one account that creates AI videos of Orr doing all sorts of illegal or evil acts

Fallout from Vancouver City Hall after mayor linked to false accusations Political fallout continues at Vancouver City Hall after Mayor Ken Sim was revealed to be the source of a false allegation against Coun. Sean Orr.

Ken Sim offered a private apology to Councillor Orr.

An apology is not a defence to a defamation lawsuit.

It’s not a public retraction.

He doesn’t tell us where this “incorrect information” came from.

If the facts are untrue, can the comment be “fair”?
