You seriously believe Selina Robinson? The person fired from the NDP for racist comments about Palestine? Those are all edited and manipulated images

Today, the Vancouver Police Department issued a release saying "when it comes to the perception of public safety, the facts matter." In 2020, when the crime rate in the city was down, Vancouver Police Department Chief Adam Palmer argued that feelings mattered as much as facts.

I've been to 3 election events now. ABC has avoided public scrutiny at the mayoral, council, and school board level. Mike Klassen and Lisa Dominato did show up to a Cedar Cottage event - gave an intro and then ran away before they could be asked a question. They don't deserve to be re-elected.

Vancouver deserves better than this petty Trump style smear campaign. A bunch of AI edited screenshots? Blog posts from 2008? Can’t attack my policies as a councillor? Pathetic.

COPE stands with the IUOE Local 963 workers.
IN SOLIDARITY WITH IUOE LOCAL 963
COPE stands with the IUOE Local 963 workers following a 96.9% vote in favour of a strike if necessary, as negotiations with Vancouver School Board management have stalled due to management’s concession demands.

These workers keep our schools safe and clean, our students well fed, and supervised during recess and lunch time.

The union's demands are simple: ensuring trained workers serve our kids and our schools, job security for those workers, and the safety and quality of their working conditions. 

The School Board is trying to undermine the required qualifications of trade certifications for power engineers for our schools, devalue their jobs, and lower their wages. Our power engineers are qualified, let's keep it that way. 

Food workers are facing job insecurity due to a funding model that relies on grants and donations, rather than funding from the School Board. Let us be clear, city staff should never have to rely on donations to maintain their jobs. COPE believes our cafeterias and meal programs should be funded by the School Board, not by unpredictable goodwill donations.  

COPE knows it's possible to fully fund these programs – these workers can have job security and kids can count on hot meals at school. COPE school board trustee Suzie Mah fought for 4 years for more stable funding for these programs. 

COPE always stands on the side of workers, and COPE’s Candidates for School Board trustee will always stand with union workers at the VSB.

Tweet by city clerk: End of day update: What a start!  

Approximately 21,824 people showed up for the first day of advance voting, a 196% increase from the first day in 2022. Together, we achieved a new record for advance voting.

Empty Homes 🤝 ABC After voting down increases to the Empty Homes Tax, and creating new loopholes for developers to leave empty homes vacant, and giving $3.8M to developers in EHT earmarked for affordable housing... ABC signs are now popping up in front of empty apartments and lots across the city.

I’m a little at a loss for words. Never thought I’d be on the cover of the Straight let alone a finalist for local hero. At the risk of sounding cliche, this really isn’t about me, it’s about the movement. It’s about people power.

Today we honour the survivors and families who carry the history of residential schools, and mourn the children who lost their lives or their childhoods to racist and colonial policies.

Of surveyed unhoused Indigenous residents, 70% are either survivors or intergenerational survivors of residential schools.

The Downtown Eastside has the largest concentration of urban Indigenous people in Vancouver.

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.
