@vanliberals @tboyblues @VanGreens @BCGreens Weaver? 😂 😂 😂 Joke’s on you my friend.

In addition to Pete Fry and Stephanie Smith, Emily also endorsed our outstanding Vancouver-born federal/provincial Green operative Bridget Burns.

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim will not be sanctioned for breaching the municipal code of conduct by misusing his office to harass and personally attack a newly elected opposition councillor last year.

I'm prepared to go to jail over this.

My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life.

My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma.

I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development.

I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child.

I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings.

Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences.

No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics.

The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate.

The path forward is empathy for past attendees.
The path forward is truth based on facts.
The path forward is real conversations.
The path forward is to lean into complexity.

If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations.

If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.

@SasonRoss @VanGreens @BrennanBastyo Replacement needed ABC help to pass and was a grade school word salad of obfuscation. Ken Sim 2.0.

@VanGreens Ken Sim and Ken Sim 2.0

[Green Party of Vancouver @VanGreens]

The whales can't vote. Vancouver residents can.

ABC and Vancouver Liberal Park Board Commissioners voted down stronger protections for marine wildlife.

If you want leaders who will stand up for Vancouver's coast, parks, and wildlife, vote for the Vancouver Greens.

Today: Full speed, inside the swim markers.

I’m calling on all Commissioners to support my motion tonight @ParkBoard to prohibit and severely restrict sea-doos in Burrard Inlet.

North Lagoon Dr in Stanley Park is two lanes but hard to tell with worn white lane marking lines. Tricky for both drivers and the many cyclists who use this route. Novice cyclists/tourists often thrust into a mess. Near misses here all the time. @CityofVancouver @ParkBoard

@vanliberals That last one really didn't age well

[Laura Christensen @l_christe]

@JaspreetVirdi19 2009 Mt Pleasant pool demolished
2019 VanSplash approved including Mt Pleasant pool
2022 PB approved capital funds, Council rejects
2026 ABC ignores and builds pool in previously unmentioned location

VanSplash has Marpole for S Van. Build that and focus on the plan.

[Laura Christensen @l_christe]

Council and ABC have no authority to construct a pool within Sunset Park. It is designated as a permanent park and therefore requires Park Board approval. Several other aquatic facilities have been planned ahead of this. Disappointing electioneering. #stayinyourlane #vanpoli

[Tom Digby 狄弼 @ThomasDigby1]

That sounds great! elected @ParkBoard will be very happy to work with @chipyvr and LULU on how to spend that money to benefit the iconic Kits beach!

[Globalnews.ca @globalnews]

Lululemon's founder and majority owner, Chip Wilson, has been vocal about the company's leadership and brand direction.

My message in today's Vancouver Sun: A city that forgets its parks, forgets its people.

If Vancouver wants to remain a city for people, we need to protect and strengthen the public spaces that hold communities together #vanpoli #vancouver #parks #bcpoli

It's been 92 days since Lenny Zhou committed to making a Chinese-language apology on WeChat for spreading disinformation about Sean Orr.

Will Lenny Zhou keep his promise within 100 days?

#LennyZhou100DaysChallenge

[SEAN ORR @seanorr]

ABC continues to spread shameless and dangerous disinformation.

Just weeks after the Mayor and Cllr Zhou were caught spreading outrageous lies about me, Zhou went on WeChat and claimed my tax rebate idea was a "kill the rich" policy.

Protect whales, prohibit jet skis. @ParkBoard

[Green Party of Vancouver @VanGreens]

Whales are returning to Burrard Inlet. Our rules need to catch up. Tell the Park Board to support Tom Digby's motion before June 1!

Batch is a great testament to @vanliberals Park Board @markrhalyk’s work.

Meeting up with UBC’s Scooter Dom there this week, I had fun, but also learned about how hard this summer labour market is for students and the growing challenges they face with food security (37% of undergraduates).

Small businesses are the biggest employers of young people in the region, and Ken Sim’s 26% increase in property taxes and lack of progress on reducing permit times has made it harder for business owners to grow their summer workforce.

We have a plan to fix that.

Tonight, the Vancouver Park Board unanimously approved my motion to waive 2026 Park Board fees for Italian Day on The Drive. 1/1

[Laura Christensen @l_christe]

Why did the #VPD put out a public statement falsely stating that the Park Board cut funding for patrols, when no request was made or denied? Why did the Mayor's Office publish similar statements simultaneously? #FactsMatter #vanpoli
