With this team, Vancouverites can take back City Hall for average people and implement more affordable housing, better protection for renters, and maintain and strengthen public services such as transit, libraries, pools, arts and cultural programs, and community centres.

Ken Sim was elected in 2022 with less than 20% of eligible voters voting for him, because turnout was so low. The way we beat him and ABC is by bringing our friends with us, reminding people to vote, and boosting turnout. We can do it.

Today, the Vancouver Police Department issued a release saying "when it comes to the perception of public safety, the facts matter." In 2020, when the crime rate in the city was down, Vancouver Police Department Chief Adam Palmer argued that feelings mattered as much as facts.

Latest howler from Vancouver’s hapless mayor Ken Sim: Asked why ABC didn’t do more during their FOUR YEARS in power, Sim replied: “We’re still learning the ropes.” What a joke. Vancouver deserves so much better. #vanpoli

What Chip Wilson has in Vancouver, we actually want for everyone: ✔️A safe home ✔️Access to great pools ✔️A City Hall that works for them

It's Chip Wilson Day...

[group photo including ken sim and Chip Wilson]

We want everyone in Vancouver to have what Chip gets.

Billionaires like Chip Wilson are buying politicians and elections to make the system work for them instead of us.

but what chip has in vancouver, we actually want for everyone:
- a safe home
- access to great pools
- a city hall that works for them

I’m a little at a loss for words. Never thought I’d be on the cover of the Straight let alone a finalist for local hero. At the risk of sounding cliche, this really isn’t about me, it’s about the movement. It’s about people power.

Illustrated cover of the Georgia Straight newspaper by artist Jaik “Puppyteeth”. Features myself in a red COPE branded superhero outfit with my tweed overcoat as a cape. Green writing says Best of Vancouver: local hero candidate sean orr fights to serve another term. In the background is the East Van Cross, a crow, and local buisinesses like The Fox, Luckys, and Red Cat Records”.

In a time where there is growing hate movements scapegoating Indigenous communities, and cowardice on UNDRIP, we reaffirm our commitment to fight for Indigenous communities self-determination, push back against disinformation and hate, and fully implement Vancouver’s UNDRIP action plan.

In 2024, Vancouver City Council endorsed the UNDRIP action plan, and committed to 79 courses of action.

But under Ken Sim and ABC’s austerity budget, staff have been directed to “review and update” their plans “in alignment with projected 2026 resources.”

In 2025, a leaked ABC memo revealed plans to “relocate” indigenous people from the DTES.

According to Indigenous Watchdog, only 14 of the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation commission have been implemented, with 24 being stalled entirely.

Today we honour the survivors and families who carry the history of residential schools, and mourn the children who lost their lives or their childhoods to racist and colonial policies.

Indigenous people make up 2.3% of Vancouver residents, but account for 42% of our unhoused population.

Of surveyed unhoused Indigenous residents, 70% are either survivors or intergenerational survivors of residential schools.

The Downtown Eastside has the largest concentration of urban Indigenous people in Vancouver.

There is more to keeping people safe than skyrocketing police budgets. Ken Sim and ABC voted down safety measures for pedestrians, for vulnerable people, and for climate safety. COPE will fight for a Vancouver that is safe for everyone.

COPE Policy 2026
MAKE VANCOUVER SAFE FOR EVERYONE (everyone is underlined)
There is more to keeping people safe than skyrocketing police budgets.

In 2022, Ken Sim and ABC ran on a platform of “public safety” using outdated and inflated crime rates. This time around, they are using outdated crime statistics to create a false narrative while pushing a costly & meaningless plebiscite to distract voters from their failures.

HEADLINE: Vancouver police union, mayor's party cite dated crime statistic in lead up to election

Instead of keeping our communities safe, they’ve thrown hundreds of millions into the overinflated police budget while voting down safety measures for pedestrians, for vulnerable people, and for climate safety.
