"Joy is such a necessary practice within liberation efforts. Joy says 'you can’t take my humanity' to those who are bent on stealing everything from us. It’s resistance to a system that only seeks to extract and exploit." - @stephanieformayor.bsky.social www.votecope.ca/news/happy-p...

NEW: ABC just voted to demovict and displace working class tenants in Mt Pleasant. They voted to destroy Myron Manor, replacing affordable rental homes with a boutique hotel. @stephanieformayor.bsky.social

ABC just voted down an amendment to the Villages Plan from Cllr @seanorr.bsky.social that would've extended tenant protections to renters in secondary suites and small multi-unit buildings. ABC votes against protecting renters - again. Election Day is October 17th.

NEW at City Hall: Ken Sim and ABC just voted against restoring the Renters Office. ABC eliminated this office dedicated to supporting at-risk tenants back in January 2023. We're going to restore the Renters Office after we evict ABC in October.

“With so many experienced public servants gone, is this about better services, or about replacing them with politically aligned insiders at City Hall?” - Stephanie Allen vancouversun.com/news/an-extr...

'An extraordinary spike': Vancouver spent $6 million on severance agreements last year, newly obtained document revealsThe way city hall is now slashing jobs, through both voluntary buyouts and involuntary layoffs, is costly and reckless, ABC's political opponents say.vancouversun.com

We need to audit the VPD.

We need a Mayor who is focused on the needs of the people, not on their junkets and crypto investments. This October we're going to Evict Ken Sim and elect Stephanie Allen, a mayor who will show up to work every day to fight for Vancouver. @stephanieformayor.bsky.social @seanorr.bsky.social

BREAKING NEWS: The motion from @seanorr.bsky.social in support of a Cultural Land Trust has passed unanimously! Big win for arts spaces and artists in Vancouver.

“They’re afraid of people standing up for the city, they’re afraid of you. That’s why they shut down democracy. Because they’re not strong.” said COPE Mayoral Candidate Stephanie Allen, “We need to elect the exact opposite of Ken Sim and ABC, clean up city hall, and fight for our city.”

NEW at City Hall: Ken Sim and ABC just voted against using City powers to create a stronger regulatory framework for AI data centres. Totally irresponsible, but sadly not surprising.

"This seems that it is about limiting debate and limiting motions that are coming to the floor." @seanorr.bsky.social CBC reports on Ken Sim and ABC voting to clock out of work early. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
