The city has gotten back to me!

They confirm the city clerk (and chief electoral officer for this byelection) gave incorrect information to councillors multiple times about staffing for this byelection.

It is only a 62% reduction in staff compared to the 2017 byelection.

Not 80%.

As you were!

Fuck 'em up, @jamuseum.bsky.social!!!

The only good thing of the understaffed and under equipped voting stations today was talking #vanpoli w @ayan604.bsky.social in the long lineup at Hastings CC. We shouldn’t have to meet this way! My daughter is convinced this is voter suppression for her #EastVan demographic. #vanpoli

Please take an hour today to vote for @seanorr.bsky.social for @copevancouver.bsky.social it’s an important decision one can make for our community. Voting locally matters more than other votes. quick! just bring your ID to any poll. vancouver.ca/election/202... #vanpoli #vancity #vancouver

I’m delivering a talk: Two Row Wampum & Slavernij.
March 28, 2pm SFU Harbour Ctr.

What can the Dutch learn about Canada’s #reconciliation and what can Canada learn from Netherland’s #slavery apology.
We consider the roots of the settler obligations from #TwoRowWampum

We’re stoked to be planning a reception event in Vancouver for this beauty this Fall ❤️🔥

Some answers I shared with Capilano’s questions about education in a free society and current threats. www.capilanou.ca/about-capu/g...

While it started at beachside sites of male violence against women, the #8M day ended with the protest shutting down the Autoroute 200 Federal hwy to protest violence against women in #SanPancho, #Mexico #NiUnaMás #niunamas2025 #iwd2025 #sanpancho #sanpanchonayarit #m8 #8marzo #iwd

On March 26 I will receive an Alumni Award from @capilanou.bsky.social
for my community work. At the @polygongallery.bsky.social March 26, free passes available lnkd.in/dQzpDqpy #Northvan

Of the 4 successful community amenity proposals selected (from 35 competing NGO proposals) none were in Woodwards a year after opening. Meanwhile SFU recd $50M BC + $10M Goldcorp gifts. Wealthy HYLouie & Jim Pattison recd 10 years tax free rent. Social mix doesn’t have to be gentrifying social wash

The issue I take with Meggs comment that we can’t “solve fundamental social problems with a bldg … no matter how well executed” is this wasn’t well executed. The City shut down W community advisory ctte 2yrs prior to completion, Gillespie sabotaged, and Green & PHS colluded against non-PHS interests

For the record as member of Impact on Communities Coalition and as a senior DTES staffer for CoV City Manager during the Bid, I can say the 2010 Winter Games Inner-city Inclusive Commitment Statement transportation goals earned a D- rating in our report on Feb 10 2010. blogs.ubc.ca/frankish/fil...
