How Mayor Ken Sim Is Poised to Win Re-Election | The Tyee

ABC Vancouver has abandoned its strategy of broad-based appeal in favour of a distinctly conservative electoral fortress.

“The real problem with Kits Pool isn’t what Mayor Sim says it is” All this political theatre distracts from the real elephant in the pool. My latest in @sitkamedia.bsky.social 👇 www.sitkamedia.ca/amir-the-rea...

AMIR: The real problem with Kits Pool isn't what Mayor Sim says it is

Reservations are the culture-war issue, but infrastructure is the real governing issue.

Carney is fast-tracking a social media ban for youth, with the support of the BC NDP — but who actually stands to benefit? My answer on @vancolour.bsky.social l about how this ban is just a backdoor to more corporate surveillance and putting the burden on people, not big tech. #socialmediaban

“The latest BC Liberal revival effort has a name — but no reason to exist” Even if a BC Liberal identity existed, there is no credible person to carry it. My latest in @sitkamedia.bsky.social 👇 www.sitkamedia.ca/amir-the-lat...

Interesting discussion on @vancolour.bsky.social podcast about the lack of World Cup enthusiasm. Lack of legacy projects and ridiculous ticket prices is part of it. But also, the US as the main host has ruined the vibes. #CanMNT #WorldCup2026 #cdnpoli #vanpoli www.instagram.com/reel/DY-VEot...

Could #BC take a hard right? In 2024 the BC #Conservative Party surged in popularity, nearly toppling the long-running BC NDP. Mo Amir (@vancolour.bsky.social) joins us to discuss the BC Conservative's new leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay and what she could bring to the party lnk.to/bigstory

The establishment lost the BC Conservatives' leadership race — and learned nothing “Commentators struggled to understand how Findlay’s Bad News Bears beat Elliott’s New York Yankees, but those were not even the teams on the field.” My latest in Sitka Media👇 www.sitkamedia.ca/amir-the-est...

Dismissing these forces as fringe or unserious (or ‘MAGA’) does not make them disappear.

Winning a leadership race and winning a general election are fundamentally different challenges. @vancolour.bsky.social lays out three interconnected tests ahead for Kerry-Lynne Findlay, new leader of the BC Conservatives. #bcpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

a very good, concise explainer worth sending to anyone who thinks the panic over private property begins with DRIPA (and could be resolved by dismantling it)

This is a helpful, concise summary of what's happening with the B.C. land title issue, which is both messy and long overdue for resolution.

“Nobody is getting a gold star for repealing #DRIPA,” said Conservative Party of BC leadership candidate Iain Black. “But the real question is… then what?” It is a pointed question, but in his answer, he exposes the uncertainty at the heart of his party’s approach, writes @vancolour.bsky.social.
