Mark Carney continues to be complicit in Israel's genocide of Palestinians His Bill C-5 undermines Indigenous rights and sovereignty His immigration policies are cruel and dangerous I'm not surprised he wants to rehabilitate the image of John A. MacDonald

Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 4d ago

Disturbing, offensive, but perhaps fitting that Carney is seeking (much like far-right groups!) to rehab Sir John A’s reputation into that of a Great Uniter, rather than someone who engaged in horrific crimes against Indigenous people and Chinese immigrants (in part to build this project!)

He's doing racist revisionist history of a white supremacist who starved Indigenous children to death. Even by the standards of the time John A Macdonald shocked parliament by openly stating the "superiority of the aryan race" and that Indigenous and Asian people were a "different species"

Minister says @christineboyle.bsky.social "Any sudden changes to Vancouver’s approach introduces confusion, costs and delay for builders" The changes in Ken Sim's motion are both unnecessary and disastrous for the city's climate goals www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Ken Sim is once again trying to gut Vancouver's climate plan this Wednesday He wants to allow fracked gas for space and water heating in all new buildings After his previous attempt failed, he's now using vague claims and misleading statements to try to get it passed THREAD

Today Vancouver council is set to approve a staff recommendation to back away from their push to become a Bitcoin friendly city. Here's my story about it, along with an extended montage about what Ken Sim has said about Bitcoin on various podcasts in the last two years.

Sean Orr is all but certain to run for council instead of mayor, but him getting thousands more views for his announcement than Azaroff’s ultimatum post is an affirmation to COPE supporters that they have their own leverage in these conversations

How Vancouver's left is doing this week

It's way too late in the day for formal votes such as the one proposed by OneCity. Plus, ultimatums sap trust among those you claim to want to work with. And progressive parties will absolutely eat each other's lunches, confusing and alienating voters if they run more candidates than seats.

If Greens, COPE, and OneCity hope to remain relevant, an agreement is needed asap, with a joint statement agreeing to: 1. Endorse whichever progressive mayoral candidate is polling best at the end of July. 2. Run 3 candidates/party, with a 4th candidate going to the mayoral candidate's party.

I think it would be a less confusing and time consuming for everyone if OneCity just came right out and said that the only Unity outcome they’re interested in is COPE and the Greens ceasing to exist as independent political parties and encouraging their members to vote for OneCity.

I had my concerns about such a young candidate but I'm tired of being told that a better world isn't possible and that we need to be "reasonable" while the world burns around us. Emily is saying all the right things that our current leaders lack the courage to say. Vote for Emily! #cbcpoli #cdnpoli

The green light for the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) pipeline could mean a ‘long, hot summer’ of conflict, one Indigenous leader warns

This decision means that the PRGT pipeline can proceed with an environmental assessment from over a decade ago The pipeline is owned my Trump's billionaire donors and opposed by Indigenous communities along the route Shame on the BC NDP for allowing this project to go ahead!

If the Jewish Fed and CIJA thought they actually had anything on @seanorr.bsky.social, they would have used it during the by-election. Instead they waited to launch a sneak attack on a brand new councillor with an historic mandate. The cynicism is deep. And deeply predictable. /1

Why is an ABC Vancouver politician contacting a person making death threats against Councillor Orr? This person claims to know Orr's address, is doxxing him, and advising people on how to break into his home. Does ABC Mayor Ken Sim condone doxxing and murdering public officials? #vanpoli

The billionaires backing politicians like Ken Sim are sacrificing our future to enrich themselves. Sean Orr will fight for civic governance that takes the long view and protects our city, our local green space, and our planet for future generations. votecope.ca/platform #vanpoli #VanVotes2025

Pretty funny that Justin Trudeau is moments away from retiring and starting to get great press for standing up to Trump and then out of nowhere decided to scream "I AM A ZIONIST I LOVE COLONIZATION!"

How can anyone take this man seriously? He both shows contempt for democracy and admits no one is at their launch party. He jokes about taking bribes. He thinks by-elections are a joke and is counting on you not showing up to the polls. Let’s show them that Vancouver DOES care

Ken Sim is now being driven to work, personal appointments and campaign events in a SUV driven by his own VPD security detail Over the last 5 months, it has cost $226,000. If it continues until the next election, the cost will be over $1 million www.biv.com/news/economy...
