Thanks for putting me on your hypothetical slate, but I am not running for Council :)

Vancouver deserves better than Sim’s lies The readiness of Mayor Ken Sim and Coun. Lenny Zhou to slander a colleague is far worse than any harebrained policy they might propose or past controversial decisions they have made.

Politicians like Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and Coun. Lenny Zhou who spread lies about a colleague for political gain undermine trust in our political system. They don't deserve our respect or votes, @adriennetanner.bsky.social writes.

I didn't think Ken Sim could stoop any lower than he already had. I was so incredibly wrong. #notmymayor #evictkensim

People really missed that his Davos speech was not a moral condemnation of this system.

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

Great to hear, and great to hear from you!

Today’s attack on Iran by the United States and Israel is a serious violation of international law.

"The Labour leadership are addicted to ‘hippie-punching’ because it makes them feel better about their own abandonment of political principle and their tenuous working-class credentials."

I'm not sure I've read anything by Dan Fumano this scathing.

A clinical summary of the mayor's Trumpian lies and bizarre evasions.

Ken Sim is an embarrassment to Vancouver.

trying to watch this is making me feel like i'm watching a Nathan For You skit dude holy moly. cannot commend the reporters there enough for all the follow-up questions

My SOAPBOX SOCIAL commentary on Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim starting a false claim about Vancouver City Councillor Sean Orr.

Dancing Green: Who is Hannah Spencer, the plumber turned MP who raved to victory in the Gorton by-election? Ms Spencer, who at one point danced on the street in the constituency, gained the seat for the Green Party with a strong personal performance during her campaign

More on the winner of the historic by-election in the UK here: ca.news.yahoo.com/hannah-spenc...

Every plumber can govern.

Amazing win for hope and for democracy, in the face of vicious attacks by the racist far-right and the morally and intellectually bankrupt political establishment.

Ken Sim and everyone associated with ABC needs to be voted out of office in this year's Vancouver election.

Election Day, Oct 17th, can't come soon enough.

Trumpian level disinformation and character assassination that in my opinion meets the threshold of criminal defamation.

Say "NO" to ICE in Vancouver — COPE Vancouver

Trump is fuelling a humanitarian crisis in Cuba, with an oil blockade that is leading to devastating power outages and rationing. This administration is determined to dominate the hemisphere with brute force and naked impunity.

Did you know that climate change isn't a required part of BC's public school curriculum? Let's change that! Please send an email to Minister Beare and share - www.forourkids.ca/email_minist... @sethdklein.bsky.social

People power works. Thanks to everyone who came together to force Pattison’s hand this week. #bcpoli

Canada will require refugees and asylum seekers to co-pay for health care starting in May They will have to pay 30 per cent of the costs of services such as dental, optometry and physiotherapy and a $4 flat rate on each prescription.

This came in the same budget that axed a luxury tax on yachts. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

“I've survived war. And I'm definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me because I'm built that way.”

The right-wing Somali pogrom architects are shocked she’d square up and stand-up for herself, because they are inherently cowards.

Naag Nool!

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

Vancouver mogul Jim Pattison’s company under fire for proposed sale of U.S. property to ICE Canadians are organizing boycotts of businesses tied to the billionaire while Virginia residents are planning demonstrations

A suburban county in central Virginia is considering its legal options over a plan by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to purchase a warehouse property owned by Vancouver-based Jim Pattison Developments to use as a holding and processing centre

UFCW 1518 has written to the Jim Pattison Group about the decision to sell a Pattison-owned warehouse for conversion into an ICE processing facility.

We stand firmly against practices that dehumanize people anywhere — including the harms reported by victims impacted by ICE.

'Sorry you're all upset that we're profiting off of fascism.' 🤷‍♀️

It me

A Pattison Company’s Possible Deal with ICE Brings Boycott Threats | The Tyee Trump’s immigration enforcement agency wants to buy a warehouse for a ‘processing centre’ in Virginia.

Pattison profits off of the largest coalport on the Pacific coast of the Americas, shipping US thermal coal. Now he's looking to profit off of real estate deals with ICE.

So great there's finally a political leader in this province willing to criticize BC's Mr. Burns.

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the six million Jewish lives — and the millions of others — senselessly murdered by the Nazi regime. We remember not only the unimaginable loss, but the warning history leaves us.

Vigils were held around Minneapolis and beyond Saturday night in the wake of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents.
