This is like saying Vancouver shouldn’t own civic theatres because we are in the business of filling potholes not singing operas.

Vancouver mayoral candidate has a plan to lower grocery costs 🛒 👀

Hi everyone, I’m Amanda Burrows! I’m a renter, a community-builder, a non-profit and faith leader and, with your help, @OneCityVan’s candidate for Mayor of Vancouver.

[Katie Bricknell Koncan @kkoncan1]

@BurrowsAmanda 🙌🙌🙌

[Katie Bricknell Koncan @kkoncan1]

This is great, as long as Mayor and Council's actions reflect this declaration.

No more displacement.
Let's see real action to end homelessness.

[COPE: Coalition of Progressive Electors @COPEVancouver]

Update: Motion passed unanimously.

HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT.

[Garth Mullins @garthmullins]

I am very glad to hear the federal minister of health say that forced treatment does not work. Now all the provincial health ministers gotta listen. @crackdownpod will have an ep on this out in a few days. https://t.co/B5kAKPY4dP

Let’s be clear: this won't be housing for the Downtown Eastside. It will be market housing instead of the Downtown Eastside. Gentrification isn’t revitalization. It’s displacement.

Our op-ed in opposition of proposed changes @FirstUnitedDTES https://t.co/iKkTni82Z5

[Katie Bricknell Koncan @kkoncan1]

The City is proposing to increase market rate housing and decrease affordable social housing in the DTES.

This is an attempt to gentrify the last bastion of affordable housing in Vancouver and will worsen homelessness.

[The Vancouver Sun @VancouverSun]

Opinion: Resist the gentrification of the Downtown Eastside https://t.co/uSth380XHG

[Katie Bricknell Koncan @kkoncan1]

I genuinely want to know: once they increase land values in the DTES and price out residents, where does the City think people will go?

[First United @FirstUnitedDTES]

"The City’s proposed changes will increase speculation...accelerate evictions, increase property values and displace community members.

The outcome of these changes will lead to more homelessness. We guarantee it." #vanpoli

The police force with the highest paid officers in Canada is expected to be millions of dollars over budget.

I have this old fashioned view that theft of land is bad. Do you agree?

[Dallas Brodie @Dallas_Brodie]

I have this old fashioned view that public lands should be open to the public. Do you agree?

Or should BC give special access rights according to your racial status?

[COPE: Coalition of Progressive Electors @COPEVancouver]

We did it, Vancouver.

We elected Sean Orr!!

Thank you to everyone who showed up for democracy — despite everything.

We’re building a movement and taking democracy back from the billionaires.

In 2026, we finish the job.

[Steph @stephforreal]

An official congratulations to @seanorr and @COPEVancouver for running a phenomenal campaign. We have a new city councilor! Proud to have voted for Sean Orr! I knew with the voter turnout this city wanted change. We did it guys! #vanpoli #vanelxn25

[COPE: Coalition of Progressive Electors @COPEVancouver]

🚨Ken Sim’s ABC candidate, head of the Police Union, has been called out by fellow officers for spamming them at their personal email addresses - according to a new G&M report.

Ralph Kaisers is a disgraceful candidate. ABC needs to go. #EvictKenSim #PoliceOutofPolitics #vanpoli

[Rebecca Bligh, City Councillor @rebeccaleebligh]

Shoutout to ABC for giving my parents a surprise lawn makeover—because who needs consent when you have a sign, right?

[First United @FirstUnitedDTES]

People in BC need access to VOLUNTARY treatment beds first and foremost. This is thinly veiled effort to lock up people who use drugs.

[Existential Comics (find me on bluesky) @existentialcoms]

Not sure I've ever seen a more obvious picture to remind us that police exist to protect the property of the ruling class, not the rights of the people.

[Pete Fry @PtFry]

Actually, totally against the rules and bound to upset a lot of people - when I’m out campaigning with Green candidate @AnnetteReilly the most common refrain I here is people who regretted voting for ABC
