Isn't it weird how ABC said they'd build new community centres in the neighbourhoods they need votes in? We're just asking questions... Caitlin Stockwell and the OneCity Council Team will stop playing politics with your community centres — and focus on building *more of them*.

After decades chasing of City Councillors for comment, Frances Bula has seen it all. And for the last four years she's seen Ken Sim & ABC spin their wheels and forget what they promised us.

Ken Sim & ABC spent half a million dollars on a useless plebiscite, while making no progress on the actual services that keep people safe — like washrooms. Tyler Petersen is running for Park Board to deliver safe and dignified public spaces for everyone.

ABC is bragging they've raised $2 mil to buy this election. But guess what -- they raised $650,000, double OneCity, last year, presumably to fight the byelection and got drubbed. That said, every $ helps us get our message out. onecityvancouver.ca/people/frances…

Main Street Car Free Day nearly got cancelled this year. @lucymaloneyvancouver helped save it with an urgent motion at council. Today, on that same street, OneCity is announcing Connect Vancouver: our action plan to ensure every neighbourhood gets a real choice in how they get around.

OneCity Vancouver policy announcement graphic titled "Connect Vancouver." Text reads: "Every neighbourhood deserves a real choice in how it gets around." Illustration of a purple bus and a person riding a bicycle. Button reads "Learn More."

OneCity Vancouver graphic with heading "Same city. Very different options." Text reads: "You've stood at a bus stop watching a third full bus drive past. You've wondered whether your kid can bike to school without crossing four lanes of traffic. Downtown: 71% of trips are car-free. Southeast Van: 31%." Illustration of a person walking a dog past trees. Button reads "Let's fix that."

OneCity Vancouver graphic with heading "Our commitments." Three bullet points: Faster buses with priority signals. One connected network: protected walking and cycling routes that actually link up, safe if you're 8 or 80. Safe routes first: schools, parks, and daily errands before anything else. Illustration of four people standing together beside a bus. Button reads "Say More!!"

OneCity Vancouver graphic with three more commitments: Save Mobi: explore public ownership of the bike-share system so it doesn't disappear. Publish a transit report card: a publicly accessible evaluation of progress, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Prioritizing underdeveloped networks: the first communities served will be the ones without access, so everyone in Vancouver has a choice on how to get around. Text reads: "Read the full plan at onecityvancouver.ca/connectvancouver." Illustration of an East Van cross sign, a neighbourhood streetscape, and a person on a bicycle.

Road safety is public safety. Every year, the numbers speak for themselves. I'm proud of my work on Council to bring traffic fatalities and injuries to zero. We need political will to deliver results, and Ken Sim and ABC have shown us time and again that this isn't a priority for them.

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from

A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

A backroom agreement isn't what will defeat Ken Sim. What will? Presenting a compelling vision of how you'll make Vancouverite's lives better. Organizing. Fundraising. At worst, pursuing an agreement for the sake of an agreement could mean sacrificing those things. vancouversun.com/opinion/colu...

OneCity board member Hermender Kailley, who has participated in the tripartite negotiations seeking a unity deal, said: “We understand that there’s a cost to waiting. There’s also a cost to rushing into the wrong arrangement.

Introducing a new way to thrive in the city, VPL+ will bring the cities art, culture, amenities, and events to you with pre-loaded tickets and discounts to the things that make Vancouver fun. If you want more from your library card, add your name at act.onecityvancouver.ca/library-card...

OneCity Vancouver policy announcement graphic. Headline: 'Ask More of your Library Card, With Library Card Plus.' Subtext: 'Museums, pools, theatres, and more — pre-loaded on the library card you already have.' Two illustrated people hold up a card labeled 'VPL+ Library Card Plus.' A red 'Learn More' button appears in the bottom corner.

OneCity Vancouver 'Key Facts' slide. Text reads: Vancouver used to have the Inspiration Pass, a free library pass into museums, galleries, and rec centres that people loved. The flaw: limited passes and months-long waitlists led to a lottery won by whoever could plan furthest ahead. Library Card Plus pre-loads opportunities onto every free VPL card: culture and rec passes, printing credits, Wi-Fi hotspots, and free meeting rooms. Delivered through all 21 library branches, with deeper benefits for seniors, youth, newcomers, and low-income residents. Illustration shows a person standing before a neighborhood streetscape with houses, trees, and a small shop.

OneCity Vancouver 'Let's make it happen' slide. Text reads: A family outing in this city shouldn't cost a day's pay. The library is one of the last places in Vancouver where everyone belongs without opening their wallet, and joy isn't a luxury to us, it's part of what makes a city worth living in. If you think the free library card in your pocket should unlock museums, pools, theatres, and more, sign your name below, or using the link in bio. A QR code and a red 'Sign Your Name' button are shown, alongside an illustration of a person holding a takeout coffee cup.
