My ABC Council colleagues are vocal about pushing back on the Province downloading responsibilities onto the City, but last night they voted to build on public open space to make up for the education funding shortfall, squarely the responsibility of the Province.
Tonight the ABC majority voted to build housing on part of Fleming Elementary’s school grounds saying their hands were tied by Vancouver School Board’s decision to divest school land to build rental housing despite an outcry from the community.

The 2026 Vancouver budget risks imposing cuts to road safety initiatives that we simply can't afford. With so few details being released, we call upon council to amend the budget to direct that essential transportation programs and staff be protected.

Today we’re listening to staff reports first, then Counillors will have an opportunity to ask questions. Only after Councillors’ questions will we start listening to public speakers.
Tomorrow Vancouver City Council will start hearing from the hundreds of people who have signed up to speak to Council about Ken Sim and ABC’s Zero Means Zero budget.

Despite Ken Sim trying to call our reporting "false" regarding the loss of Vancouver's sustainability department, city staff just confirmed under pressure from council that those jobs are not in fact safe in the budget, as it now stands.

You'd think a Councillor with a record of cutting services and delaying action on safe streets would have the decency to at least live -near- the community he's damaging.
He makes the cuts. We'll live with the consequences.

In voting down this motion, Clr Montague indignantly claimed that the VPD "puts out a message telling drivers to avoid non-essential travel every year" and that to suggest otherwise is "outright false." Can anyone find evidence of this? Here's their PSA for this year:

The party of public safety, everyone:
Honestly gobsmacked by ABC's referral of my road safety motion to staff.
Halloween is the most dangerous night of the year for CHILDREN.
This was an attempt to use an existing process to keep CHILDREN safe, and ABC punted it to staff w/o offering an alternative.
Really, guys?

It's cynical and unserious. And it's insulting to residents and to the staff who put untold hours into analyzing and compiling the Survey results.
