In Vancouver how it works is that Israel's actions provoke vitriolic criticism of Israel that alarms Jewish institutions (which also generally strongly support Israel's actions). Anti Semitism I think moves to different rhythms.

No one better than Sim's campaign manager to fix Sim's problems.

Perhaps he should be rotated like this more often.

It feels crazy to type this, but Johnson was a much better mayor than Sim.

You can see that he's tempted to become an alt right paladin but is too robotic to pull it off.

Instead of an unashamed liar as our mayor we now have a shamed liar - progress?

The province should withhold its approval, at least for this location.

They know nothing about the history of popular Liberalism, which begins with an electorate impelled by dissenting religion to take a fervent interest in foreign policy!

This motion passed. No surprises there, but I tried to delve into the back story behind this training facility. Sources say the mayors chief of staff told them the developer behind the project risks foreclosure if Woodward’s is not tenanted.

Pete Fry? Opposed to building stuff? Near where he lives? I'm amazed.

I hope Trevor Ford is made to answer the claims put by your sources. Although he must currently be....preoccupied.

It may be true that Vancouver is a bit boring (I am now too acclimatized to judge), but Vancouver politics rarely are. There is always a storm in our teacup!

I hope btw that this scandal doesn't put your equally important reporting on Woodward's onto the back burner.

I concede that in Vancouver terms I am a member of an interest group demanding SPECIAL treatment - parents.

To me - a person who because of this particular delay now bikes or worse buses their kid everrrrry day from Fairview Slopes to school in Kitsilano - it is obvious enough.

It would be funny if he now reverted to pol prof-dom: 'I can now reveal that this was the hardest and most prolonged ethnography that I have ever undertaken.'

The best thing about Sim hating is there's never a fear of running out of content. There will be more.

The developer conspiracies I want to see are the ones that agitate Douglas Todd: sixplexes to DEVASTATE Renfrew.

I don't see why Ford's reported comments on avoiding foreclosure for Westbank are not yet a scandal. He doesn't seem to have denied them.
