A worthwhile read this morning as we honour and remember our veterans today, as well as those who gave their lives for Canada, democracy and freedom.

If you drink, don’t drive. Please help keep our streets safe by having a designated driver, using public transit, taxi or ride share.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻
Halloween is a great time for fun. This is a throw back to a 2023 Halloween City Council meeting - many councillors dressed up and Wonder Woman unexpectedly found herself chairing the meeting! 😆

Halloween is also a good reminder to keep our fun safe for all. My last official event this week was kicking off #projectredribbon, which is an initiative of @maddcanada to raise awareness of and prevent driving under the influence of any substance.

Thanks Mike Howell @Howellings for a great synopsis of our last meeting today and for continuing to steadfastly cover civic government. It matters. I remember meeting you when I was on School Board and taking questions from your journalism students. With gratitude. 🙏 #vanpoli
JUST IN... #Uniqlo will finally open a Downtown Vancouver flagship store.
It will occupy a portion of the former Nordstrom at CF Pacific Centre mall, joining Aritzia and Simons. #vancre#retail

@guyfelicella You neglect to mention ABC led the way to invest $8M annually to hire mental health workers, create de-escalation teams & add psychiatrist nurses to triage 911 calls. Last year 2500 people were diverted from police to health services. #vanpoli

Politics is a brutal sport.
Good people lose, we saw that last weekend in municipal elections.
Good, well-intentioned ppl will lose on saturday. Staff will lose jobs, it’s a high risk game.
On the flip side, some great people will win.
Win, lose or draw. Be nice #bcpoli
Just in: In Vancouver's "public safety plebiscite," voters supported both measures by margins of more than 2-to-1, despite roundly rejecting ABC, the party that added the questions to the ballot.
Now up to Green-COPE-OneCity majority council how to deal with non-binding results.

Thank you to the over 54,000 electors who voted for me. While the results were not what I had hoped, I am grateful for your support.
It has been an honour and privilege serving you for the past 9 years.
I look forward to my next chapter.
