LISTEN: Here’s my interview on the big need for a new and smarter conversation about street transformations into people-places here in Vancouver, fuelled by the already clear success of the Granville Street #WorldCup transformation. Thanks @jasjohal.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Photo of transformed Granville Street filled with people for the #FIFA World Cup in downtown Vancouver.

It’s not just about banning cars on “pedestrian streets” — it’s about filling the space usually surrendered to cars with magnetic people-places FULL of things that attract people & make them want to stay. Vancouver hasn’t been great at such transformations. The World Cup NEEDS to be a turning point.

Political Happy Hour is live. 🍸 BC Conservatives are polling ahead of the NDP. Also could we see the resurgence of a centrist BC Liberal party? Keith Baldrey, Brad West, and Harley Chappell on the backroom moves that pushed Norm Lipinski out. #bcpoli #cdnpoli podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

1/3 We're at that part of the BC Conservative leadership campaign where the culling of new South Asian members begins, for a variety of manufactured reasons. (What a vague email). Once the race ends, the pandering to the community will resume right on schedule. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

BC Conservative leadership signup numbers by riding are out. West Van-Capilano (1,091) and Surrey-Serpentine River (1,050) lead the pack. Surrey has multiple ridings in the top tier. Important to remember ridings with low signups always play a big roll in these races #bcpoli

I’m a bit surprised the Whitecaps were so forthcoming about today’s news in the Athletic. “No viable offer has emerged to keep the club in Vancouver.” 100 conversations. Zero takers. If local money doesn’t show up fast, this team is gone. #bcpoli @WhitecapsFC
