Our team launched in June & we’re building on the work of Councillor @mikehillmanbc to ensure that our city is Leading The Way!
Lookout later today for our full platform launch, but here’s just a taste of our 5 Key Commitments to the people of #Burnaby. 👀

Just received a letter from Ottawa of my appointment as a Member of the Order of St. John! Did You Know: there are only 5 national orders in Canada (ie. Order of Canada) in the Canadian Honours System & the Order of St. John is one of them...1/2

@Joey_Broda@SimranRoohi@bbybeacon All fair points – we don’t feel there are many policy levers available to the City to intervene.
That’s why we’re introducing flexible zoning, $500 E-Bike Vouchers to reduce the other major cost driver for households (cars), and supporting investment in active transportation.
@Joey_Broda@SimranRoohi@bbybeacon Also, we don’t think that every policy needs to serve every citizen & that Burnaby is well managed enough that we can support most if not all of our citizens.
Instead of pitting them against each other.
That’s why we’re called One Burnaby.
@Joey_Broda@SimranRoohi@bbybeacon That’s true in the fixed state of ongoing rental agreements, but for new builds & turnover of stock, tax increases do drive part of the increases in average rent.
@Joey_Broda@SimranRoohi@bbybeacon That’s true in the medium & long term & what we’ll be doing in part to support the new Civic Housing Authority.
But more than 2/3rds of homeowners are not mortgage holders, and many retirees are on fixed incomes.
This is a severe cost of living crisis, we can afford to help.
@Margieville Hi Margie 👋
We haven’t run a robocall since Tuesday & we’re using every channel we can to connect with as many voters as possible.
Glad to hear you’re still planning to vote! 🗳
@Joey_Broda@SimranRoohi@bbybeacon Finally, Burnaby has a nearly $2 Billion capital reserve & great finances.
It is a rainy day fund & it’s been pouring for the last 3 years.
We can afford to hold the line on tax increases, which will help the cost of living for all homeowners & new renters.
@Joey_Broda@SimranRoohi@bbybeacon Cities don’t have the tools that BC/Canada do to run programs & funds to attack policy gaps – they manage zoning & permitting.
Our platform commits to transforming Burnaby into a city with complete neighbourhoods where 90% of needs are 15 minutes from your front door.
“For decades, NDP affiliated @Burnaby_CA enjoyed a stranglehold on #Burnaby, but that grip on power is now loosening…
Disenchantment with housing affordability could erode the party’s hold on power even further this election in B.C.’s 3rd largest city.”
