Some of my favourite OC platform planks that will protect us all: - Reversing ABC’s climate rollbacks and keeping gas out of new builds - Extending the Broadway Plan’s enhanced tenant protections citywide - Increasing harm reduction services including OPS sites go.onecityvancouver.ca/purple-book

Vancouver friends! Second day of advance voting is today. In my newsletter today, I explain why Vancouver’s historic climate leadership hangs in the balance in this municipal election. And, for those curious, I share how I'm casting my ballot: sethdklein.substack.com/p/vancouvers...

Road safety is public safety. Every year, the numbers speak for themselves. I'm proud of my work on Council to bring traffic fatalities and injuries to zero. We need political will to deliver results, and Ken Sim and ABC have shown us time and again that this isn't a priority for them.

Well put @stewartprest.ca. "So, how does the city move on from this moment? Councillors cannot trust the mayor. Voters can’t trust him either. That is why I think it is best for everyone, including Sim, for him to accept full responsibility, and do so in a way that shows he means it: by resigning."

This morning, Ken Sim and ABC killed Vancouver’s Social Housing Initiative, which would’ve allowed more non-market housing, like co-ops, social housing, supportive housing, to be built faster. Vancouver needs a City Council that will take action on affordable housing, because Ken Sim and ABC won’t.
