The thing about conflict of interest is *perception*. A normal taxpayer-funded plaza takes 6-10 months to approve, but if you are a neighbour in the employ of the mayor Ken Sim's office it takes less than four? 🤔 *perception* www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Did the Vancouver mayor’s office fast-track a public plaza to benefit a staffer?

A newly constructed temporary plaza built next to an East Vancouver restaurant is raising questions as to whether it was accelerated due to the business’ connection to the mayor’s office.

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

Election after election exit polls show that those who consider their economic security as poor vote for the neo-fascist AfD. We need an antifascist economic policy instead of a revival of 90s style neoliberalism. This has become only more urgent in face of the energy crisis.

Hey folks - so word is out that I'm seeking nomination to run for city council with @vangreens.bsky.social. I ran for council in 2022. I'm a housing justice activist - I've advised and represented thousands of tenants. Back in 2021 I had this to say about how we need to do better by renters 🧵

Just watched Ken Sim's news conference about the lies he told about Sean Orr (and, via Lenny Zhou, about all non-ABC councillors) We are one press conference and a media availability in, yet no closer to answers or accountability. Sim took three questions and bolted from the mic 🧵

Stephanie Smith @spkr118.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

This isn't the first time that Ken Sim has been involved in a smear campaign against @seanorr.bsky.social. Sean's interview is worth a listen - for its honesty, grace, and concern for the public who are harmed by Sim's dirty tricks IMO we need more humanity like Sean's in politics. Solidarity.

After Cllr Lenny Zhou is caught publishing defamatory libel, manufacturing falsehoods accusing us of being drug users/dealers and fomenting ugly divisive rhetoric --this statement is not an apology, it's not even an excuse. Zhou, communicating solely to media, while mayor so far fails to disavow.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Worse, they did this without advance notice to many people waiting to speak to them about their ridiculous plan to turn the DEOD area into towers and to gut existing (and weak) protections for the city's most impoverished residents. Just cleared the room to go party.

The reason why socialism is no longer taboo in America is that our elites have successfully rebranded it as “any attempt by the state to function beyond semi-random violence“ while trying to combat it.
