Distraction is the second leading cause of fatal crashes in our region and province. We hope that all candidates take that seriously, especially those from a party campaigning on public safety. (Video from ABC School Board Candidate Lina Vargas on Instagram)

My understanding is most of those did not go through and the outcome here is not in doubt. Performative vice-signalling by Netanyahu (which itself says something really bad about Israeli politics).

My latest commentary for the Toronto Star www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
thestar.com
Alberta separatism isn’t just an Alberta problem. It’s a sign of a much deeper issue in Canadian politics
The collapse of political competition and winner-takes-all mentality has allowed fringe elements to hijack mainstream political parties.

I’m not a huge fan of ranked ballots but this is incoherent. First rankings have too much influence and then not enough people use them? Also Findlay wins under first past the post as well.

How about Greens out out some policy announcements and evidence of a campaign. If all William pulling out accomplishes is to help Pete come second to Sim, what is the point of that?

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Question to both of you - why do you think the left did better in on council than with a unity mayor in 2022? Gap between Sim and Stewart was 35,000 votes. Gap between Lenny and Swanson (the 7th place left wing candidate) was 30,000 votes.

I was wondering if Canada was making it feasible for Haitian-Americans formerly protected under TPS to come here. Very glad to see that appears to be the case. I hope we accelerate supports and streamline this process.

Haitian TPS holders leave for Canada, taking skills and resources gained in Mass. with them - The Boston Globe
In all, more than 10,000 Haitians in the Massachusetts workforce who contributed roughly $480 million a year to the local economy are being forced out, according to an immigration policy organization.

The NO2 stuff did not seem to math out to me (0.5% of 2015 Metro Van emissions). This seems like the green mirror to the way industry tortures the math on GHG emssions. I was not impressed.

ICYMI: the VPD budget increased by 48% from 2018 to 2024, but the number of traffic tickets they issue has fallen by 59% over that same time period. Why has traffic enforcement evaporated in Vancouver?

Sorry I only do haikus about cats. You seem to have missed my original point though. It's not "we can do better" - it's the inconsistency on what better is. What is better, more free trade or less?

I’m guessing abundant transit that predates zoning is the answer. It created walkable neighbourhoods that the city wasnt able to destroy.

Oh hell no. U.S. vetos on Canadian trade deals is actually insane. Absolutely justified in walking away.
Tweet saying that US wanted to put in language that would restrict our ability to ha e other trade deals.

After opposing proportional representation, BC Liberals/United merged into the BC Conservatives to avoid political homelessness. With Milobar leaving, the forced big tent is fracturing again. Pro-Rep lets distinct parties win seats and cooperate without our winner-take-all system shutting them out.

I would love to know what they plan to do if the vote fails. Stop enforcing drug laws? Brcause if they dont think it can fail its definitely a stunt

Ryan @rcampbell.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
They are accountable to the whole community. Agree on the research side though - but part of that is because we get 10 votes. That distorts the results a lot too. But either way it doesnt fix the guy we have as mayor.

Ken Sim says this plebiscite announcement on drug use and involuntary care is not “electioneering” at an event surrounded by ABC signs with a crowd of people applauding after each speech and we’re onto 35 minutes without taking questions from the media, about as long as I can ever remember
