We are taught that each of us is responsible for the world we leave behind, or as we say in my tradition, Tikkun Olam. That is why we run. And that is why we must educate our young ones so they can be the change of tomorrow.
Seeing @kareemformayor with the fifth grade class at Vancouver Talmud Torah today filled my heart.
@vanliberals #TogetherWeCan
It was so fun being at my alma mater with @kareemformayor and the @vanliberals team this afternoon. So many familiar faces, old teachers, and memories!
Thank you Vancouver Talmud Torah (VTT) for the invitation to speak to your fifth grade class about municipal politics. The future of Vancouver is in very good hands.
From the beginning there's only been one party fighting for students, fighting for seniors, fighting for small businesses, and fighting for families.
And that party is the Vancouver Liberal Party.
Ken Sim keeps densifying the city while cutting the services that make Vancouver world class. Under Ken Sim there are more people fighting for fewer services. We need leadership not slogans and vibes.

Ken Sim didn’t just try to get rid of the Park Board. He defunded it. When Gregor Robertson was mayor, parks were 16.5% of the city budget; today it’s 7.9%.
Ken Sim has also defunded the assets. His plan is $400 million for pools, community centres and field upgrades over the next 4 years. Our plan is $1.4 billion.
Vancouver Liberals will find the difference by cancelling Ken Sim’s $800 million second city hall project. Together we can.
Thank you @shaylawayla for the tour of Hogan’s Alley. I learned so much from you today and am truly honoured to be running with such an inspiring leader for our Park Board.
What a night! Huge thanks to everyone who came out — whether you were reconnecting, meeting new faces, or just curious about what’s happening in our city. Great energy, great conversations, great people.
