me, venturing into today's vancouver political twitter arena:

Really love how @upromise waited until I had enough to transfer to a 529 account, then suspended my account for no clear reason, no way to contact them, and no way to re-activate it. Nice scam of a company!

[taylor schmidt @7012Vogue]

Point of personal privilege: this is hilarious

[The Thorn @VancouverThorn]

Fun fact: Sean Orr got more votes in the recent Vancouver by-election than Melissa De Genova did in the 2022 municipal election and the 2024 provincial election — combined. #vanpoli

[taylor schmidt @7012Vogue]

I have never missed Vancouver more than I have this week.

[The Thorn @VancouverThorn]

Sean Orr got nearly four times more votes than Ralph Kaisers.

In his victory speech, he honoured the memory of Myles Gray.

Police out of politics, in Vancouver and everywhere.

And don’t forget the illegal short term rental that was wiped from the twitterverse

[Progress Vancouver @progress_van]

Colleen Hardwick’s statements should be disqualifying for anyone wanting to be mayor of Vancouver.

#vanpoli (4/4)

[Progress Vancouver @progress_van]

And Hardwick opposed reconciliation. Cavalierly and offensively dismissing reconciliation as all about “land and money”.

#vanpoli (3/4)

[Progress Vancouver @progress_van]

Colleen Hardwick was censured by the City of Vancouver’s 2SLGBTQ+ Advisory Committee for transphobic statements.

#vanpoli (2/4)

[Progress Vancouver @progress_van]

Colleen Hardwick wants to turn back the clock.

She wants a Vancouver that is less diverse, less welcoming.

Here’s the proof:

@CllrHardwick said her mission in life is to make a city for white people. #vanpoli (1/4)

How long until this council undoes the Tenant Protection on Broadway?

[taylor schmidt @7012Vogue]

Guess which way he voted, along with his ABC pals?
So now we have a pro-developer sitting member of council, who owns a real estate media outlet, doing the work of the developers.

And how is this not very clearly a conflict of interest??? Call it what it is @VancouverSun 4/4

[taylor schmidt @7012Vogue]

and was paid to write articles about Pace of Change in the past, while developers cried that the policy would run them? 2/4 https://t.co/Js1im3ZHGo

[taylor schmidt @7012Vogue]

THEN, we get to the vote on approving the Pace of Change Policy. 3/4 https://t.co/GRFHhlsQ3Q

[taylor schmidt @7012Vogue]

Okay so let me see if I have this right. A sitting councillor was advocating for and introducing motions that benefits developers, while owning a real estate media outlet? 1/4 https://t.co/IAGDX0BioC

[taylor schmidt @7012Vogue]

ah yes, put the white dude who asked me, a queer person, what i brought to the table in terms of diversity, in charge. lmfao

[taylor schmidt @7012Vogue]

@seanorr @LennyNanZhou @mortimer_1 Lmao. Meaning likely the manager and director in DBL. I’d really like for someone to ask the actual team- all of them, not just management picks— what they think of the program

[Christine Boyle @christineeboyle]

Mayor Sim and @Vote4ABC just voted down my motion to extend temporary modular housing leases to prevent more people from becoming homeless. 😳

It’s infuriating and unacceptable. But I will keep fighting for secure, dignified housing. And a #Vancouver for all of us. #VanPoli

[taylor schmidt @7012Vogue]

@KenSimCity Shame

[taylor schmidt @7012Vogue]

@MikeHanafin right? it's such a naive take

[taylor schmidt @7012Vogue]

Lmao like city staff don’t already know about them

[Lenny Zhou 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @LennyNanZhou]

This is absolutely NOT ok! Thanks @mortimer_1!

Will report these listings while working on a long term solution on enforcement or system changes.
