Our 1st episode is about….the ballot question! Affordability has been the big issue in every election at every level of government for a decade. But every party (including Ken Sim and ABC) agrees Vancouver is unaffordable. Who they blame for it is the interesting part. #vanpoli

Did he actually say that himself? That would be an astounding admission by someone whose main job is to weigh evidence and reach conclusions based on that evidence.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

This is bonkers. It’s hard to imagine the context for a government to be too busy to deal with a well-organized and efficient structure for connecting with community in order to make better decisions than you would otherwise make because you’re too busy to deal with community in less efficient ways.

Will speaking out help? Hard to say — this council has made it harder for residents to participate in decisions, and it’s easy to feel cynical about how much they’re listening. But staying silent definitely won’t help. 📢

Local governments control over 50% of emissions sources in Canada. What Vancouver does matters — here and worldwide. When federal governments stalled climate action (remember the Harper era?), cities like Vancouver kept pushing forward — helping build momentum toward the Paris Agreement. 🔥➡️✍️🇫🇷

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Ultimately this results in a crisis for all but the most wealthy of Canadians. When 35% of us are living in a crisis, it’s impossible for us to have a healthy, prosperous society. So many are just trying to survive, and that extends into the owners who over-leveraged to try and achieve secure tenure

200

Andrea Reimer @andreareimer.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

It’s true - it could be taken many ways. What I meant was that the majority of Canadians own their own home and the higher rents and prices go, the more wealth that majority achieve. Those of us who don’t own just keep paying more and more to provide that increasing wealth to owners.

Andrea Reimer @andreareimer.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

The motivation is particularly important from my perspective. The housing crisis is not a crisis for many in Canada: it’s a housing windfall. Without people in government personally motivated to help those of us for whom it’s a crisis, things will not change IMO.
