Right on @raytomlin one omission Olympic Village CC part of of the Olympic legacy but so much has been delayed ..Rebuilding & renewing Community Centres will be a key priority @kareemformayor @vanliberals

“The Canadian Home Builders’ Association found that across the 23 municipalities it studied, Vancouver had the highest indirect costs for high-rise development, at $6,855 per unit for every month of delay.”

[Young Vancouver Liberals @youngvanlibs]

A ward system, guided by a Citizen’s Assembly, ensures every neighborhood will have a voice on council.

[Vancouver Liberals @vanliberals]

A worthy reason for a plebiscite.

[John Coupar @JohnCCoupar]

Looks like @KenSimCity @Vote4ABC asleep at the wheel as usual …💤 @kareemformayor @vanliberals will do better we are wide awake!!!

[Mark Marissen @marissenmark]

Good piece by Mo Amir about Ken Sim's unserious political theatre.

Excerpt:

"ABC Vancouver and some commentators ... have defended the plebiscite as a measure to send a message to the provincial government.

But a plebiscite only carries meaningful democratic weight if voters are presented with a consequential choice. Asking voters if individuals suffering from severe substance use and dangerous mental health disorders should receive treatment is easy. It is much harder to decide who is forced into treatment, what conditions must be met to justify involuntary care, for how long and at what cost. This plebiscite conveniently sidesteps all of the serious work in favour of manufacturing a hollow public mandate.

And defending the plebiscite as a way to “send a message” gives away the game: this is unserious political theatre."

Ken Sim is just in it for himself and his buddies. There is no other explanation for the amount of effort taken to hide things that used to be in plain sight for voters.

[Young Vancouver Liberals @youngvanlibs]

Obscuring transparency and avoiding oversight have been a hallmark of Ken Sim and ABC’s time in office.

[Kareem Allam @kareemformayor]

Vancouver spent a record $6 million on severance last year. City Hall refused to say to whom. It took a Vancouver Sun FOI to get the number.

In June 2024, Ken Sim's City Hall deleted QuickFind, the public staff directory online since the 1990s, then refused two FOI requests to restore it. If you can't see who works there, you can't see who was pushed out.

Vancouver Liberals will:

1. Restore the directory as open data, updated quarterly.
2. Report severance publicly every year: total, position, months paid.
3. Require a recorded Council vote and public rationale before any statutory officer is hired or removed.
4. Give the Auditor General power to compel documents and a public tracker on every recommendation.

City Hall is elected by 700,000 people. It shouldn't be run for seven.

Aujourd’hui, le 15 août, nous célébrons la Fête nationale de l’Acadie.

Aux Acadiens et Acadiennes de Vancouver, de la Colombie-Britannique et de partout au Canada : joyeuse Fête nationale !

Votre histoire, votre langue, votre culture et votre résilience enrichissent notre pays. À Vancouver, nous sommes fiers d’une communauté acadienne dynamique qui contribue à la vitalité de notre ville.

Bonne Fête nationale de l’Acadie !

[Kareem Allam @kareemformayor]

I want to have a plebiscite... on bringing in a ward system but only after a Citizen's Assembly to make recommendations to form the ballot question.

[Kareem Allam @kareemformayor]

It’s time for Ken Sim to get his priorities right. Rather than spend money on suicide prevention barriers on Granville Bridge he spent $14 million on FIFA VIP tickets for his friends.

It’s time for change.

[Kareem Allam @kareemformayor]

What we were promised. What we got. Ken Sim, make this $54 million boondoggle right.

[Scott Jensen @ParkBoardScott]

Awesome to support half-pipe skateboarding at KitsFest this summer! 🛹

So much talent, energy and community spirit at Kits Beach. Already looking forward to next summer!

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced that by the end of the decade, the Americans would land a man on the moon. Eight years later, they did.

Eight years is also about the amount of time it takes to build one high-rise in Vancouver — the slowest place for housing approval on planet Earth.

[Kareem Allam @kareemformayor]

I’m excited to announce that John Coupar has joined the Vancouver Liberal team as a council candidate.

Few have served our city and park system better, and few are more passionate about both.

He will be a remarkable and fierce advocate for the services we care about most.

[Kareem Allam @kareemformayor]

A plebiscite won’t solve anything and neither will Ken Sim. He’s had his four years.

I am running for one reason, and one reason alone….

[Kareem Allam @kareemformayor]

Vancouver deserves a mayor that cheers us all on… and I mean all.

[Kareem Allam @kareemformayor]

I'm proud to share that John Coupar, former Park Board Chair and 11-year veteran of the Vancouver Park Board, will be running for Vancouver City Council with the @vanliberals. Welcome to the team, @JohnCCoupar.
