There are extremely important projects in Translink's 10-year plan, including a RapidBus line in North Vancouver that will connect Lynn Valley to fast & frequent networks across the inlet & increased off-peak Seabus service. We need assurances that these improvements will still happen on time.

So egregiously backwards & short-sighted. Every person in this province subsidizes cars. Your municipal taxes pay for parking & roads whether you have a car or not. Your provincial taxes pay the health care costs from car-related pollution & crashes. Your federal taxes subsidize O&G companies.
Statement from David Eby

Metro Vancouver mayors have told us they need a sustainable funding path for Translink and there have been a number of options discussed as part of that work.  We will come to a solution to support Translink, but the path to sustainable funding for that organization cannot be on the backs of drivers who are already struggling with the prices at the pump.  A vehicle levy or road pricing are not options we would proceed with. That's the last thing people need at a time when Trump is driving up costs. The real cost to drivers would be the Conservative parties’ plans to double car insurance rates and make drivers pay more. People can't afford that.

The National Post published an article defending the white nationalist Dominion Society because, they propose, 8% of Canadians *could,* "for argument's sake" support ethnic cleansing—meaning it's more popular than the NDP. They Included a legal argument but did not disclose the author was disbarred.
Polls have shown that roughly half of Canadians believe immigration levels are too high. Let’s say for argument’s sake that only eight per cent of Canadians support remigration, and 92 per cent oppose it. Should having only eight per cent support for your opinion mean losing your right to rent government-owned facilities, and to use public spaces like parks and sidewalks?

If yes, then no government facilities should be available for rental by the NDP, which garnered only 6.3 per cent of the popular vote in Canada’s most recent federal election. Almost 94 per cent of Canadians rejected the NDP in 2025. Yet the NDP is not disqualified from being able to exercise its Charter freedoms of expression, association and peaceful assembly.
