Strategy + Creativity + Design + Dialogue = Ideas & Engagement & Community & Impact. Add good food = magic.

@KenSimCity You’re not done slandering this man huh? Integrity Commissioner be damned I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️

VANCOUVER VOTERS: I asked 36 mayoral and council candidates four direct questions about who gets to stay, where creativity happens, how much experimentation this city can tolerate, and whose creativity counts. Read their answers before you vote. https://t.co/PiWDTFYTMc

@Vote4ABC Thank you for reminding us why Pete Fry is a much better choice. You may want to fire your strategy team. LOL

OneCity’s William Azaroff ends his mayoral campaign, paving the way for Pete Fry to lead the progressive coalition against Ken Sim and ABC:

“I believe that it is the right thing for me to do to step aside so there is one unified progressive mayoral candidate.”

[Mark Busse @MarkBusse]

@AmirsDoingItAll And also not true.

[Mark Busse @MarkBusse]

@vancolour @JeanSwanson_ No he didn’t. Careful Mo. you’re better than this.

[Mark Busse @MarkBusse]

@JarrydJaeger You re-wrote your post! If you are going to quote @wazaroff (or anyone) THEN QUOTE THEM ACCURATELY

[Mark Busse @MarkBusse]

@JarrydJaeger Baloney. Prove to me @wazaroff said these things. I don’t buy it. He’s too smart to scuttle his campaign like this.

HIVE MIND: I need a furniture moving company in Vancouver who are bonded. It’s a simple move of only five or six pieces of living room furniture from a showroom in Gastown only three blocks away. Who do you recommend?

Our friends and supporters at BC+AI have kindly offered a 25% discount on tickets to their Jan 28 event, which will feature a keynote by tech researcher and journalist Alexandra Samuel about what she learned from building and living with her AI companion, collaborator, and coach, Viv, who just happens to be Alex’s co-host on the chart-topping TVO podcast Me + Viv. I mean…what?!?

OMG no. Please no. If the progressive left doesn't unite we are simply handing the election to Ken Sim and ABC. Prove me wrong. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Former Vancouver mayor Kennedy Stewart is seriously considering running in the 2026 civic election.

Big news: @TheTyee is now a Registered Journalism Organization, so Canadian donors can get official tax receipts for supporting independent reporting.

If you want fact-based journalism that fights disinformation, this is the moment to step up:

Technically there is an opportunity for the public to respond to this recommendation before council makes a decision, but I think we all know how important public opinion is to the team running City Hall these days. :-(

I serve on Vancouver's Arts & Culture Advisory Council, but it looks like that role will end suddenly next month. Apparently civic advisory committees will "create organizational capacity pressures" during an election year and while FIFA is the priority.

Have you all seen @tristanharris interview with @StevenBartlett (Diary of a CEO)? Should his warnings about AI be taken seriously or with a grain of salt considering AI’s potential benefit?

[Mark Busse @MarkBusse]

Big news indeed, and a great candidate I admire a lot. I wonder who will formally announce next?

[William Azaroff @wazaroff]

Exciting news - I’m seeking the mayoral nomination with @OneCityVan! 1 / 5 https://t.co/pgwtNaF45W

HIVE MIND: Has anyone had good experiences with home swaps? We’re thinking of getting out of town during FIFA next year.
