We’re in a critical moment in Vancouver city-building and governance, and this Vancouver municipal election feels particularly important. I support progressive voices, including @ptfry.bsky.social for mayor, & @lucymaloney.bsky.social @fabulavancouver.bsky.social @ionabonamis.bsky.social & OneCity.

Cool kids (like Krista & Jennifer) vote early! 🗳️ Early voting is open TODAY until 8pm. You can vote at any polling location across Vancouver. Why wait to kick out the atrocious ABC School Board Trustees? You can go do that... right now. Like. Right now.

A vote for @jagglund.bsky.social is a vote for housing co-ops and the people who live in them (or would like to).

Ken Sim & ABC spent half a million dollars on a useless plebiscite, while making no progress on the actual services that keep people safe — like washrooms. Tyler Petersen is running for Park Board to deliver safe and dignified public spaces for everyone.

We had such a good time at Main Street Car Free Day! Our candidates spent the afternoon talking with neighbours about active transport, safe streets, and our plan to build an affordable, vibrant city. Come be a part of the team with the plan: donate, volunteer, and VOTE OneCity on October 17.

Main Street Car Free Day nearly got cancelled this year. @lucymaloneyvancouver helped save it with an urgent motion at council. Today, on that same street, OneCity is announcing Connect Vancouver: our action plan to ensure every neighbourhood gets a real choice in how they get around.

OneCity Vancouver policy announcement graphic titled "Connect Vancouver." Text reads: "Every neighbourhood deserves a real choice in how it gets around." Illustration of a purple bus and a person riding a bicycle. Button reads "Learn More."

OneCity Vancouver graphic with heading "Same city. Very different options." Text reads: "You've stood at a bus stop watching a third full bus drive past. You've wondered whether your kid can bike to school without crossing four lanes of traffic. Downtown: 71% of trips are car-free. Southeast Van: 31%." Illustration of a person walking a dog past trees. Button reads "Let's fix that."

OneCity Vancouver graphic with heading "Our commitments." Three bullet points: Faster buses with priority signals. One connected network: protected walking and cycling routes that actually link up, safe if you're 8 or 80. Safe routes first: schools, parks, and daily errands before anything else. Illustration of four people standing together beside a bus. Button reads "Say More!!"

OneCity Vancouver graphic with three more commitments: Save Mobi: explore public ownership of the bike-share system so it doesn't disappear. Publish a transit report card: a publicly accessible evaluation of progress, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Prioritizing underdeveloped networks: the first communities served will be the ones without access, so everyone in Vancouver has a choice on how to get around. Text reads: "Read the full plan at onecityvancouver.ca/connectvancouver." Illustration of an East Van cross sign, a neighbourhood streetscape, and a person on a bicycle.

To our staff, our volunteers, our candidates, and my family: thank you. I've said all campaign that Vancouver's best days are ahead of us. I still believe that. Keep showing up. Keep talking to your neighbours. And keep working to build the city we know is possible.

And we put real solutions on the table: - Childcare for All - The People's Builder — 4,000 affordable homes on city-owned land - Build Back Britannia, plus parks, pipes and pools - Faster buses, less traffic - Built to Last, our climate plan - A Local Economy Action Plan

William Azaroff @wazaroff.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

To be clear: OneCity isn't going anywhere. Our candidates, staff and volunteers built something real. Not a campaign around one person, but a team, for every Vancouverite who stopped believing City Hall was listening, and every one priced out of the city they grew up in.

William Azaroff @wazaroff.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

That fear is earned. Banning new supportive housing. Stripping the Living Wage from city workers. Ken Sim has done real harm to this city and its future. Beating him matters more than any one candidacy. Including my own.

1173

William Azaroff @wazaroff.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Families who can't find childcare. Renters hanging on by their fingernails. Working people who can't get a fair shake in the city they love. And the real fear of another Ken Sim and ABC majority.

Since last fall I've sat in living rooms, community halls, boardrooms and union halls across Vancouver. Mostly, I listened. What I heard, again and again: this city is running on fumes. People feel like City Hall stopped listening a long time ago.

Pete Fry and I have spoken a number of times. I see in him a real commitment to bringing competence and ethics back to the mayor's office. To Pete, the Greens, COPE and our own OneCity candidates: good luck. I'm counting on you. So is this city.

William Azaroff @wazaroff.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

To get Ken Sim out, we have to unite behind a single progressive mayoral candidate. That's what people asked us for. That's what the progressive parties committed to. Stepping aside is the right thing to do.
