What does Vancouver need? Leaders who care about everyone who lives here & won’t prioritize private equity over people. I’m honoured to be the ‘26 @COPEVancouver mayoral candidate & promise to fight for affordable living, transparent government, & fund public services. Lets go!

The Vancouver Art Gallery invited you to ask a question of the forest. So I did.
ALT Emily Carr painting.
ALT From Gallery wall: Emily Carr cared deeply about the protection of forests and the natural world. On a sticky note, write a question or phrase you might address to the forest and share it on the tree. Underneath is a ledge with pencils and sticky notes.
ALT My sticky note: How do you share and sustain life amidst the sound of chainsaws?

Opposing Israel's genocide of Palestinians is not antisemitic.
No matter how many Jews are upset by people finally talking about it, it's about Israel and Zionism, not about Jews as Jews.
All Jews can choose to stop supporting Israel. No one has to keep doing that.
If @AbdulElSayed truly means what he says about treating the Jewish community as he would treat his own children, then he would immediately condemn this dangerous ad as outrageously antisemitic and demand that it be taken down.
If not, then he’s full of shit.

UN Commission of Inquiry:
"Israel has committed war crimes & the crimes against humanity of extermination, persecution, torture, rape & other forms of sexual violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, intentionally targeting Palestinian civilians."

Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Benjamin Moser says Israel is "actively fomenting" antisemitism by claiming to act in the name of all Jews:
"It's asking a lot of people to say that there's this Jewish army of this Jewish state with this Jewish star on their flag, and they are mercilessly slaughtering tens of thousands of children, but don't confuse them with Jews," Moser said.
He argues that the reported rise in antisemitism is simply a rise in anti-Zionism, "people reacting to Israel and the evil, wicked things that Israel has been doing in our names."

While pundits on national TV applauded Lorne Doerkson for running a campaign supposedly laser-focused on the economy, it appears white nationalists listening when his campaign manager posted "fuck Islam" and when his relentlessly attacked Indigenous rights.
Total media failure.
A unity agreement perhaps? 🤔
43% of #bcpoli voters want the BC New Democratic Party (NDP) and the BC Green Party to consider a formal merger into a single provincial political party.

Ms. Rachel invites a 3-year-old Black boy to her show and calls on sports teams and soccer stars to step up, celebrate his talent, and help him after a viral video shows him being kicked out of a soccer game by police for being too good ❤️👏

BC election data shows 52% of voters stayed home.
Global data shows all things being equal proportional elections have higher turnout than systems built solely on single-winner-ridings, because proportional representation means everyone feels they have a voice.
ALT Graphic comparing BC election results as percentages of eligible voters. If nonvoters were a party, they would win with 52%. BC Conservative got 23%, BC NDP got 18%, and BC Green got 5%.

In 1980, upwards mobility - moving up an income decile happened for about 4 in 10 people in Canada. By the 2010s, that dropped to 3 in 10.
Capitalism, thanks to neoliberalism has been trending here for a very long time. Only morons and profiteers will defend.

They called the police on a three-year-old because he is good at soccer.
Read that again.
They called the cops on a toddler.A three-year-old. Because he can kick a ball better than the other kids on the field.
Not because he assaulted anyone. Not because he had a weapon. Not because he was a danger to anyone.
Grown adults watched a toddler play a sport and decided the appropriate response was to dial emergency services and send uniformed officers to deal with a child who has not yet started kindergarten.

You can't blame this loss on Green 'vote splitting'
1. The BC NDP called the early election, so that's 100% on them
2. The Greens support Proportional Representation, so they actually want to fix this system
3. The ONLY vote splits in recent memory were right-wing Liberals splitting the vote in 2011 Federally, and in 2018-2024 Ontario.
4. The BC CON win was so big, even a collapsed Green vote wouldn't have mattered.
The left doesn't split votes: Liberals do, and moderates are the ones who elect right-wing governments.

White nationalists just outside the BC Legislature this morning after a BC Cons supermajority.
This group is Loyalist Pioneers, a white nationalist organization virtually identical to Second Sons. They've been active around Victoria for about a year & a half.

BCTF and Nurses Union were absolutely betrayed by the BC NDP, taking short contracts that they expected to finish in the middle of an NDP term only for Eby to selfishly call an election.
I hope unions learn their lesson about who the NDP is in it for
