Open drug use continues to be pervasive in the city’s DTES, where police are directing people to the nearest overdose prevention site.

Worst is not that Montague hasn't lived or paid taxes in our city entire term, or that he lives over 400km away, or even his horrible decisions when he does show up.
Worse, as other Canadians suffer & boycott, BM was on leave from his tax-paid job to leisure in US for a month.
Still want Vancouver to be the Greenest City? Apparently, Ken Sim and ABC don't.
Saving a few bucks to the city will come at an even greater cost down the line.

I don’t think I want someone in charge of city revenue that can’t even spell “services” correctly. You’d think the mayor could use some of his $1.5 million office budget for a proofreader. 😂
This week, opposition councillors blocked a decision that would've unlocked 4,100+ housing units for Vancouverites while creating a new non-tax revenue source that could have gone towards funding city services and critical infrastructure.
To say their decision was shortsighted and irresponsible would be an understatement.
We won't lose sight of the important goals here. Our focus is, and will always be, on delivering housing, affordability, and fiscal responsibility for the people of Vancouver.
No, opposition tried to amend those revenues to prioritize public benefits.
Who trusts ABC priorities? (checks list):
Bloated mayor's office;
Buy bitcoin w/ city $;
Ban supportive housing;
Get rid of Park Board, Integrity Commissioner, renter's office, equity office;
etc.
Last night, @ParkBoard did the right thing. Apologized to TGD2S community after emotional discussion. Shared some tears. Disavowed JKR. Will undertake concrete actions to rebuild trust.

Vancouver's @ParkBoard will be hearing an emergency motion relating to hosting the Harry Potter themed event at Stanley Park at tonight's meeting. Board meeting does not permit public speakers but you can email https://t.co/4rnw3uGcQG and watch live approx. 10:30pm pdt
The Van Park Board has made a misguided decision to bring a trademarked Harry Potter experience to Stanley Park this winter. As a Queer woman and a strong Trans ally, this is unacceptable. JKR pours her fortune into actively harming Trans Folks

@mimebass It’s simple. She owns the rights to and gets money from everything with the Harry Potter name. She then spends her money on fanning the flames of hate towards Trans people. I don’t know a single Trans person or Trans Ally who is ok with her or that franchise.
@KAD70390424@CanadianGreens How am I ruining it for others? By letting them know that they will be putting money towards actively harming others? I’m not calling for a cancellation. People can still attend. I’m calling for voices to speak out so the PB can see the impact of their decision.
@mimebass I’m not assuming anything. If you knowingly put money into something that harms others, then you are displaying your values. Having friends in the community doesn’t mean you share their values. Ask some of your Trans friends how they feel about you going.
The movement is growing! Stand in solidarity with the BCGEU as they fight for FAIR WAGES. The outcome of this negotiation will impact all BC workers. We must stand together if we want wages that we can live off of!

@ShawnCRMT But they aren’t men…. This is where our conversation hits a fork in the road. As a woman who knows many Trans women, I believe they are women. I know they are. At my core. I get the sense that you don’t feel the same way.
Fortunately, I have science on my side as well.
We would like to thank our wonderful volunteers, elected, board members, and, of course, the folks that visited us at @CarFreeYVR on Commercial Dr.
Despite some sudden rain, it didn't dampen anyone's spirits.
See you Sunday on Main Street!
