It was an honour to take the stage today in solidarity with the Iranian people’s fight for a free, just, and democratic Iran.

The cause of democracy anywhere is the responsibility of all of us everywhere.

Saw your PkBd post. Here's a practical plan to get a separated bike lane around Stanley Park and keep 2 traffic lanes. And it's not as expensive as other ideas that have come up, plus it has other advantages. Have a look:

This is a great move & it's the one I would have made in the Greens' position. There's nothing to lose—the NDP aren't remotely meeting the Greens as a cooperative partner—& now the Greens are free to act as an unconstrained opposition. It's a relief to see competent offence from the Greens. #bcpoli
BREAKING: We’re dropping our agreement with the BC NDP.

To renew our agreement, we asked for material action.

Eby’s NDP plainly refused.

So we’d like to share a new agreement with YOU. We agree to fight for affordability, take on the establishment, and stand with the working people of BC, always.

In 2019, Vancouver Council unanimously passed a motion to restrict Bitcoin ATMs—still no action. Meanwhile, drug kingpins continue getting rich on proceeds of crime.

It is time to act on the VPD 2018 and 2019 reports. Below is the council motion that passed:
