I stumbled into reporting on Vancouver municipal politics. Progressive centre-right. On @CambieReport. Opinions are mine. RT≠endorsement.

@CBCOlympics Why was the coverage of the competition format so confusing? Commentators kept saying that turns were 50% and speed 25%, when there appears to be no reweighting during scoring, leaving speed at 57% and speed at 14%. Which is it? If there is reweighting, why are we not shown that?

@chmurph Scooby Doo has a WWE episode, with John Cena and the undertaker and a whole city named WwE city. https://t.co/5iIJHwWSFO

NIMBY Mayor spews NIMBY bullshit. Thank God North Van is upgrading their sewage treatment plant. #vanpoli

You want more housing? We need better transit and bridges first. A Metro Vancouver mayor is pushing back after the province imposed housing targets on some municipalities.

@MichaelShopsYVR @JonStovell Sounds like a cop out to me. And calling the last Council one with an actual coalition belies a lack of understanding of the dynamics on that body.

Colleen Hardwick spent the election day driving around in a caravan of vehicles. The perfect metaphor for a car centric city. #vanpoli

[Matthew Naylor @naylor4x]

@fabulavancouver You can. Mine was.

[Matthew Naylor @naylor4x]

@TristanMarkle Endorsements were an editorial decision. We think they'd all be good candidates. My ballot is who I voted for.

[Matthew Naylor @naylor4x]

My #vanpoli vote: MAYOR-Marissen; COUNCIL-Anderson, Bonamis, Wiebe, He, Norris, Dominato, Cromwell, Boyle, Wvong, Rosa; PARKS: Digby, Stockwell, Irwin, Jackson, Christensen, Riley, Bastyovansky; SCHOOLS-Chan-Pedly, Thomson, Leung, Fraser, Sigurdson, Reddy, Cardwell, Poppell, Wong

[Matthew Naylor @naylor4x]

Endorsements on the @CambieReport aside, my vote is not a hard choice. I'm with @mark4vancouver. #vanpoli

[Matthew Naylor @naylor4x]

@j_mcelroy @fabulavancouver You missed the water is a human right fireworks about downtown washroom access right at the end.

[Matthew Naylor @naylor4x]

Colleen Hardwick has apparently met with 50 of Vancouver's 21 neighborhoods.

[Baritone BC 🔰🌐 @Baritone_BC]

The @CambieReport introduced us to the urbanist-preservationist axis. I'd make a case for a fun-no fun axis as well. #vanpoli

Marissen: more homes more fun
Stewart: more homes some fun
Sim: few homes more fun
Coupar: no homes no fun
Hardwick: no homes ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻 no fun ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

@johngreen Kinda wack that some Christians are so upset about loan forgiveness when our beliefs are based on Jesus dying for a debt we can’t pay…

Of course the beaches are easier for the @ParkBoard to clean if there are fewer logs. Fewer logs means fewer users. I bet the parks would remain cleaner too if all amenities were removed. Please restore beach logs to pre pandemic levels.

[Matthew Naylor @naylor4x]

.@ParkBoard Please return the number of logs on beaches to pre-pandemic levels. They are an essential characteristic of the Vancouver Beach.

@teresagrahamfv @melaniejmark @RoyalBCMuseum @jjhorgan Money for education... What do you think a museum does, exactly?

[Matthew Naylor @naylor4x]

@magsslider @melaniejmark @RoyalBCMuseum The museum is a school...

@TransLink it's chilly in South Burnaby. It would be nice if buses that only come every half hour didn't leave early. #116
