The Climate crisis is already hitting us. How we respond to it will determine how hard we get hit going forward. Instead of backsliding and cuts under ABC, we can fund our climate programs and create a Climate Defence Strategy that saves lives and takes the fight on climate to the super-rich.
COPE POLICY 2026
Take the climate crisis seriously.

COPE’s plan for a Climate Defence Strategy to hold the super-rich accountable for climate destruction and turn Vancouver into a global leader on climate. The UN Environmental Programme’s September 2026 report “Limiting Overshoot” says that we can no longer avoid 1.5° of warming.

Every fraction of a degree beyond 1.5° will create more intense climate impacts, and increase 
the chances of extreme weather, flooding, disruptions to food supply, and threats to public safety.

Climate change is hitting us now. The 2021 heat dome killed 621 people in BC, atmospheric rivers cut off our highway shipping routes for days in 2021, and wildfire smoke chokes Vancouver residents almost every year.

How hard we get hit in the future will be based on how well we defend ourselves.

Huge shocker. They did it in 2022 saying crime was going up when it wasn’t, and now they’re doing it again to say crime is trending down. ABC is running a VPD crime analyst for council!

This was the right thing to do. Stephanie Allen is truly amazing and we could not have asked for a better Mayoral candidate for COPE. We were truly blessed to have her agree to run for Mayor for us, and she did so without ego knowing that the decision today is one that she might have had to make.

Today is International Overdose Awareness day. Our mayor has shut down an overdose prevention site in an area that has the 2nd highest rate of toxic drug overdoses and deaths in the city. His costly plebiscite will increase stigma and the likelihood of fatal overdoses.

this happened on July 11. the VPD are claiming that despite being run over and taken to hospital, the person’s injuries were not serious so there was no need to inform the IIO. And the BC-EHS (a provincial agency) is in on this cover-up. How incredibly disturbing #vanpoli
“The officer stopped and called for assistance,” the IIO said in a news release Wednesday. “Paramedics attended and the man was taken to hospital for assessment and treatment.”

The IIO was not notified until weeks later, on Aug. 4, when a member of the public reached out to say an investigation may be warranted due to the man’s injuries.B.C. Emergency Health Services—which normally provides information to news organizations about patient injuries when people are assessed, treated or transported to hospital by paramedics, including in the midst of active criminal investigations—declined to share any details on the incident when contacted by CTV News, and has not responded to multiple requests for an explanation.

“Your questions are best directed to police,” public information officer Brian Twaites said in a brief statement

Surely this plebiscite has NOTHING to do with the fact that only 3% of Vancouver residents strongly believe ken Sim and ABC are taking the city in the right direction. Total coincidence.
Graphic from leger360.com showing that 3% strongly in right direction, 26% somewhat compared to 32% somewhat wrong track and 30% strongly wrong track. Total is 30% right direction and 63% wrong. The right direction side is red, while bar graph for the wrong track is black
