A OneCity government will finish what it starts. We’ll take the good things in the plan, work with staff to improve it, reengage, and move our city forward.
This is ABC. Push staff to meet a deadline they impose, throw them under the bus when the plan comes under scrutiny, and then blame staff to their big money backers. We must do better.
Justin McElroy 🇨🇦@jmcelroy.bsky.social · 6d agoABC Vancouver told reporters that the Villages plan was “disrespectful”, that city staff went too far, and that they were protecting residents from the sins of bureaucracy. But who told city staff to come up with a transformative plan? Here’s the receipts.
To the people who still envision a walkable, vibrant Vancouver, it's still possible. ABC killed the plan today, but OneCity is committed to bringing more diverse, thriving neighbourhoods to every community. Be a part of it - donate or volunteer at the link in bio.
People who work for the city should be able to live in the city. Under ABC, many city staff can't afford to. OneCity Vancouver commits to bringing back the living wage. If you support good paying jobs for city staff, sign your name: act.onecityvancouver.ca/bring-back-v... #vanpoli #labour
Bring Back Vancouver's Living Wage

Programming reminder: at 8:10 on The Early Edition, we're holding a forum between the three left-wing mayoral candidates that have pledged to support each other if a clear frontrunner emerges: - COPE's Stephanie Allen - Green's Pete Fry - OneCity's William Azaroff On the pod/YouTube soon after!
OneCity is proud to share our next policy: Youth Jobs Vancouver. A practical program to support youth to find good jobs that help them build careers in Vancouver. Sign your name at the link below if you think Youth deserve a fair start. act.onecityvancouver.ca/youth-jobs #vanpoli #youth
Extremely disappointed to see ABC vote down @lucymaloney.bsky.social's common-sense motion to study the actual impacts of AI data centres in Vancouver before greenlighting them.
While Ken Sim runs on AI agents, Vancouver still doesn't have basic rules for AI data centres. Lucy Maloney's motion is simple: study the real impacts before we approve any more. Good government means doing the homework first. Sign your name to stop ABC's AI speedrun: bit.ly/ai-data-cent....
@lucymaloney.bsky.social and other opposition councillors voted to protect people by reducing speeds on the streets where 9 in 10 fatalities and serious injuries occur. Starting in areas with high pedestrian traffic. This is "ideology"?
A win! Council unanimously supports cooling rights for renters in Vancouver by ensuring landlords can’t ban cooling devices. Thank you to @lucymaloney.bsky.social & @seanorr.bsky.social for your leadership on this and for recognizing First United's work. This will save lives.
This is a political message. And the City of Vancouver isn't one of Ken Sim's big money backers. This is a totally unacceptable use of public resources.
Michael Ledger-Lomas@michaelledgerlomas.bsky.social · 2mo agoJedi move: waste City of Vancouver taxes to send out an electioneering leaflet disguised as an official communication about taxes and then within that leaflet boast about not raising taxes.
I am proud to accept the endorsement of the Vancouver and District Labour Council. Every single Vancouverite deserves an affordable home, strong public services, a good job, and a living wage. We’ll return respect for workers to City Hall when we retake the Mayor’s Office on October 17 #vanpoli
11 AI agents doing the work of the Mayor… Ken, please, it’s so obvious you don’t want this job.
Justin McElroy 🇨🇦@jmcelroy.bsky.social · 3mo agoIf you thought "I bet Ken Sim is all in on AI", you would be correct
Candidates, assemble! Say hi 👋 to OneCity’s candidates and the next generation of Vancouver’s progressive leaders.
My @thetyee.ca piece today is an interview with legendary Vancouver city hall reporter Frances Bula. She's hanging up her press badge to run for council with @onecityvan.bsky.social this October.

Meet the OneCity team for 2026! This October, we’re sending Ken Sim and ABC packing, and electing progressive champions up and down the ballot.
Come join us and celebrate all the hard work of nominees. Hero’s Welcome on Main.

VCH has been at this for years. Where has the mayor been? (6/6)
And for people who are using in public, it’s the same answer: somewhere inside, supervised, and safe. Off the street. And start a journey to recovery if they chose to. That’s what was on the table today. (5/6)
A lot of people who die of overdoses and poisoned drugs die alone. In their own home. An overdose prevention site is the place that gives them somewhere safe to go instead. (4/6)
The concerns about site design are real. Nobody serious is pretending otherwise. But you work through those concerns with VCH. You don’t arrive at the end of years of work with an urgent motion. (3/6)
Here’s what I keep coming back to: the city’s job in this moment is pretty simple. When a health authority is doing hard, necessary work, you show up as a partner. You figure out what isn’t working. You help fix it. That’s the job. (2/6)
Today, Ken Sim and ABC killed an overdose prevention site that Vancouver Coastal Health has been working towards for years. (1/6)

Kathryn@kmsheps.bsky.social · 3mo agoJust voted for my fave candidates running for the @onecityvan.bsky.social nomination for city council, school board and parks board. I’m impressed it was so easy to vote with the online system and even more impressed by the incredible candidates stepping forward to work for a better city!
