I had the pleasure of attending the inauguration of the new city council last week. I was looking forward to meeting Devyani Singh in person and congratulating her on her election.
What COPE accomplished in this election was remarkable. A full sweep, unlike previous party sweeps that left the South Asian candidates behind.
We had a brief discussion on policies around intimate partner violence. I was glad to connect with other notable COPE organizers on this issue as well.
I remain deeply proud of the intimate partner violence policy we put forward with the Vancouver Liberals. It was shaped by the needs of survivors, recognized by advocates, and set a standard for the other parties.
I look forward to working alongside everyone at City Hall who prioritizes this crisis. No woman or child should ever have to live with violence. It is time we confront this issue with the urgency it requires.

So is the victim. Only the rape didn't affect her and Russell Brand in the same way.
