Ken Sim received one of the largest majorities in Vancouver history. After 4 years, 26% tax increases, and jet setting, nothing has improved. But when he did show up to work, this is what he was doing (Courtesy of CBC):

On April 1st ABC councillors unanimously signed on to the Elect Respect campaign. On Sunday they started running this ad. It’s almost comical at this point.

Facebook ad with the caption: “Vancouver’s left-wing parties have struck a back-room deal to limit competition…”. The image is a grid of 5 politicians- me, Pete Fry, Kareem Allam, William Azaroff, and Rebecca Bligh- in a dramatic dark sepia tone. It features the words “We cannot afford to go back” and “Chaos coalition”.

The Van Liberals plan for our community centres, pools, and parks is $1.35 billion. It’s based on what is needed, given the profound lack of investment over the years. Ken Sim is proposing a $1 billion cut from what’s required and $150 million less than the last capital budget. Unacceptable!

A bit of an odd statement from OneCity about Ken Sim's promise of $400 million for community centres Capital plans are funded separately from the yearly budget, and Vancouver has $1.4 billion in reserves set aside already ABC might be playing cynical politics, but the money is pretty easy to find

My question is the $400mn over and above the typical $500-$550 million capital plan per cycle for parks. Or is it the entire capital plan which would mean a reduction investment.The Park Board asked for $1.35bn. Is his shortfall $900mn from what parks asked for… or $400mn for what parks asked for.

What a truly important articulation of the need for more direct tenant involvement in anything to do with rent increases. Tenants should not be solely responsible for costs that benefit landlords, and lead to more demovictions and renovictions. Clearer rules = more equitable process for all.
