I went to city hall to meet @MikeKlassen to talk about how to fund our libraries after they swore what I'd said about cutting library services wasn't true. ABC councillors said I was a gaslighter for what I'd posted, called me a liar, and behold. #vanpoli
JUST IN: Ken Sim phoned-in the tiebreaking vote to defeat a motion to strengthen tenant protections across Vancouver.
He ignored voters who elected new councillors committed to protecting renters.
Ken Sim refuses to show integrity and change direction.

In 2021, I sarcastically quoted the comedian David Cross while condemning an antisemitic dogwhistle on Twitter. I was defending Karm Sumal against the claim he was a "globalist shill." I have been outspoken over the years opposing all forms of racism including anti-semitism.
A career politician who gamed the system for a two-million-dollar pension by his mid-40s — with literally just one piece of legislation to show for it — is in no position to call anyone a "political grifter".
Last night people bikes rode in the rain for bike lanes. Immediately @TorontoPolice were antagonistic. A dozen bike cops arrived early & took over the main gathering point. The bike cops attending were the same ones who had arrested the Fridays Stantec protestors 1/5
Why would anyone in South Vancouver believe this?
There is no funding for this in the capital plan.
Remember, the ABC members on council who were part of the last council didn't vote to support the Mt. Pleasant pool the park board wanted to build. #vanpoli
Totally with @andrew_leach on this one. This @DalhousieU Food Professor is engaging in both defamation and long-time disinformation on climate & carbon pricing. Time for it to stop.
DON'T @Vote4ABC#Vancouver cop candidate for council @RalphKaisers. He keeps showing bad judgement!

A Vancouver byelection candidate and former president of the Vancouver Police Union is facing scrutiny following emails he sent to some VPD members, asking for their support. The mayor called it an unfortunate situation. “We’ll just drive on,” he said.

Can we finally dispel the idea that @Vote4ABC are leaders with integrity?
They don't do what's right, they do what they can get away with, which is exemplified by Kaisers.
I appreciate this article because without accountability, ABC'll just get worse.

When it comes to safety, Ken Sim promised us enforcement AND prevention. He’s given us the enforcement. And next to no prevention.
With Ralph Kaisers, we’ll just get more of the same - and a WHOLE lot of baggage.
"Kaisers’ comments blaming the pedestrian for being injured are troubling for advocates who plan to continue to ask the city for [various interventions] to protect pedestrians."
If you care about public safety, @RalphKaisers is the wrong choice.

Cyclists lead by @Fridays4future went to @Stantec's office to ask why they're helping Ford destroy safe infrastructure. Instead of speaking w concerned citizens, Stantec employees called in Toronto Police who dragged out & arrested two people for trespass to property. 1/2
For the record, since he deleted the original tweet, this was about @Trev_Ford_North. Trevor, any plans to spend less taxpayer money on twitter and more on making our roads safe?
