Just cast my Provincial ballot in Kelowna Mission! Hoping we can see real investment in Kelowna over the next four years to help with acute infrastructure deficits for transit, care facilities, addictions treatment, and more.

Good afternoon. I recently became aware of an endorsement from the Kelowna Citizen’s Safety Association. I decline this endorsement. It was not solicited or sought.

Genuinely, the amount of racism that Mohini Singh is enduring this campaign is unbelievable. I condemn this kind of hate in the strongest of terms.

Thanks to KelownaNow, moderator Renee Merrifield, and the Kelowna Events Centre for putting on an all-candidates interview forum. A great opportunity to connect with voters in-person and online. It’s a four-hour marathon session, good luck to all candidates still waiting for their turn.

Kelowna unemployment rate increases, once again the highest unemployment rate in Canada. Young workers and women feeling a disproportionate share of layoffs. Will also put downward pressure on wages. Need to work on permitting reform, zoning, and competitiveness.

Very suspect when a business is directly spending money to influence voters in order to award themselves a contract renewal.

Beginning the day with a non-partisan talk at Aberdeen Hall on the importance of voting with 6th graders, then having conversations with voters in the Abbott St area, then voting, then 5pm mayoral debate (stream online), filming a GOTV with other candidates, and a climate town hall at Rustic Reel.

Councillor Stack has done excellent work at the Council table. He is thoughtful, intelligent, kind, and has guided council as someone who takes their high-level strategic oversight powers seriously. I’m very grateful for his support. www.kelownadailycourier.ca/news/article...

Thank you very much to the North Okanagan Labour Council for your consideration and support. I look forward to working on lowering our cost of living, attracting good-paying jobs to Kelowna, and investing in our communities’ quality of life while supporting workers of all ages.

I’ve knocked on more than 8k doors since June, but even then, seeing a military surplus ammunition box as a mailbox this evening was unique. Likely not a swing voter :)

Thanks to everyone who said hi at the North Okanagan Labour Council forum. A great evening discussing housing, transportation, democracy accountability, public safety, and infrastructure.

@larsiusprime.bsky.social Great article from Lars, not just for the five-year retrospective, but for the updates that have gone on at the (US) state level and internationally. The fundamental lessons on not taxing productivity or property improvements in a productivity and housing crisis remain.

We are in a Provincial election now, and there’s nothing that can be done about it. In a way, I’m glad that Kelowna residents will have a say on Provincial issues like health care, education and school construction, care homes, and complex needs medical treatment for mental health and additions.

Very much enjoyed the Terry Fox run today. I might be a bit out of shape, but 19:47 is still enough for third place in a 5k fun run! :) Planing on some canvassing this afternoon, what a beautiful day for late September.

Davis Kyle @daviskyle.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I’m sorry, but what is the Chamber thinking? Devoting a third of the debate time to this guy does nothing for voters, and I completely fail to understand the opposing position. Why are we wasting time with a no-hope 9/11 conspiracy theorist? www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna...

Perfect example of how generative AI is influencing voters. Really unhealthy for our democracy. Should result in the same reaction as if it was Photoshop.

Nolita is arguably the best-looking apartment in Kelowna built in the last 10 years. Really nice brickwork and curves. Street trees will provide some canopy eventually. Passes the Halloween test of ground-floor walkable apartments. Just canvassing in north-central Kelowna today.

Thank you to Jesse Thomas for reaching out for an interview. Michele Rule is a very nice lady, glad he got her perspective looking back as a former councillor. I’ve committed to only run for a maximum of two terms, and to not quit the job midterm to run for another role. Those are my values.

I just registered and donated, hope to see you at the run on Saturday in Stuart Park. An opportunity to memorialize a Canadian hero, fight cancer, and have some fun. Ideally, a recreational 10k inside of 50 mins would help.

Maybe I’m old-fashioned…but why use an AI-generated photo of Kelowna. A whole bunch of extra skyscrapers that don’t exist.

This is madness. Repeatedly let out on bail after (allegedly) assaulting a woman three times. The judge saying he won’t pose a risk if he abides by the release terms misses the point. Beyond naive to believe he would abide by the release terms.

It’s disgraceful that 10 people signed this guy’s nomination papers. I very much look forward to seeing him lose on election day. Not to mention, him campaigning on being a member of the Dominion Society. My family traces roots to Quebec in the 1670s. He doesn’t speak for me.

I can’t recall whose post I saw mentioning this today, but it’s very possible that part of the reason Kelowna’s airport doesn’t have good transit (or a lobby for it) is the sheer revenue generated from parking. Twice as much as from landing fees.

Totally normal stuff in the comments.

Regardless of what you think about AI in general, AI in politics absolutely should be banned. The main body of this post doesn’t disclose that the image is completely invented. Only a comment does. Absolutely should be illegal to fake photos of stuff like this.

Hope to see you at the Labour Day event this afternoon. Important to remember that the history of labour action in Canada began with advocacy to reduce to a 58(!) hour workweek. thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/o...

More signs going up in the lower mission today, after 5 hours canvassing in South Rutland.

I don’t consider myself to be an architectural snob, but it’s a shame the City of Kelowna chose (typical?) streetlights for the artwalk extension instead of something more tasteful like the current artwalk or street lamps in city park.

A good example of old-school suburban attached townhomes built in Kelowna.

This includes three people who would’ve volunteered on my campaign, but who’ve found better jobs in either cities with higher wages or lower cost of living. We are crippling ourselves, even now, with inaction on the housing crisis.

The byelections last night, summarized in one graph. The lack of pro-rep means that the CPC is forced to be a house divided. And the marginal voter wants a party that is firmly anti-Trump.

As someone who’s done both private and public procurement as a career since graduating Uni, this is spot-on.

1869 Marshall. One of the few heritage multiplexes in Kelowna, with an exterior stair. Very little of the city, comparatively, is laid out in a grid due to little being planned before looped suburbs and modern zoning.

What are everyone’s thoughts on the City considering 25m in Apple Bowl improvements as a way to attract professional sports?

Single member First Past The Post wards would make the housing crisis worse, and likely further reduce the accuracy of our democratic representation. Absolutely not what I support.

Knocking on doors in Rutland always gives a lot of perspective Chatted today with a single mom of two kids who just lost her job, talking about the cost of rent and difficulty finding childcare. So much to work on, as to how the city is so unaffordable for working people. Wish her the best.

Incredibly typical that a US Senator who likes to lecture others on how markets work, and how others should take economics classes, would fail Econ 101 lessons on absolute and comparative advantage, along with general gains from trade.

"However, last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal." You can’t negotiate at the end of a barrel. No guarantee there wouldn’t be further demands. No guarantee of reliability. Tough break.

Very notable that major Vancouver-area urban planners like Mortensen have been speaking out on this lately. If people associate urban living and urbanism writ-large with drug use and poverty, it will never be as successful as it should be. lnkd.in/p/gebhbnNK

Generative AI showing things that have never happened should be absolutely illegal in political advertising. These signs are all fake. All the images are fake. The message? Might be good. But this isn’t how to sell it. youtu.be/4QEMNKJiC9E?...
