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.
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
Back by popular demand: Free Housing Rights Workshops!

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
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 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

Today we’re celebrating our 140th birthday! 🎂 Whether through policy change, community organizing, or on the frontlines, together we're committed to building a neighbourhood where everyone has access to dignity, belonging, and justice. #FIRSTUNITED140 📸 Philip Timms, VPL #7986
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?
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.

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
🚨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
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.
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
