Let’s be clear about what "migration patterns have changed, so build less housing" really means. Housing supply & population growth are linked: Vancouver's migration shifted because it's so damn expensive. Using that to justify lower targets just says: "Can't afford to live here? Good. Stay out."

Solid platform, but for me,

And We’ll Make Your Vote Matter – OneCity commits to an instant run off ranked ballot for mayor and the use of new voting methods, like proportional representation, to ensure that your ballot actually reflects who your neighbourhood wants to lead the City, not just who has the best funded campaign. We’ll get there by supporting a Citizen’s Assembly on Electoral Reform that will recommend either a proportional, ward, or hybrid system to improve diversity and representation, ahead of the 2030 election.

@onecityvan.bsky.social @copevancouver.bsky.social Good morning! Q for you: How are you going to address the problem of rich people with a second home in Van getting a vote here, while folks who work/spend in Van are forced outside city bounds for housing, losing their vote in their own city?

First-past-the-post doesn't stop early elections, as seen in ON, NS, and potentially BC. FPTP incentivises snap votes whenever polls hint at an increased artificial majority through key swing ridings. Proportional representation removes this incentive, encouraging parties to cooperate

Just talked to a neighbour about the #vanpoli election and they were sad to see Azaroff go. They had thought that Azaroff was doing better than Fry, and also was hoping for someone new.

It is hard for me to accept the dearth of promising candidates now... Fry promised the platform after Labour Day. Supposedly enough people are paying attention now, but he doesn't seem super eager to roll it out quite yet.

And to be clear I *will* vote for Fry if we get to election day and that’s where the momentum is. But it is objectively true that a conservative-commissioned poll has caused the Vancouver left to consolidate around its most centrist candidate, and attack its further left parties. Scrutinize that!

My argument is that Fry, with more apparent pull but less substance, should drop out and endorse Azaroff. I'm not saying the poll doesn't matter, but it doesn't make sense to me to push a recognizable name who won't have enough substance to actually win afterwards.

110

Actually Akshay @akshay.zone · 03/09/2026

Maybe the messaging gets more polished and gets more coverage as election day nears. I'm not certain Fry could pull together a policy pitch like this, though it probably would have more attacks on Sim in it. He could step aside and use his reach to endorse these proposals, though!

110

Actually Akshay @akshay.zone · 03/09/2026

The polling only seems to matter as far as choosing a candidate to rally behind. I believe these announcements are more about what they will pitch once we get past this awkward phase. It may not be helping him poll better than Fry right now but I don't think that's the point.

100

Actually Akshay @akshay.zone · 03/09/2026

I think that's a negative for Fry, actually. If "Better Than Sim" is all that's necessary, Roller Girl has an actual shot this time. You say "unfocused" but there are lots of issues to address. Do you disagree with the problems being identified, or the solutions?
