For over 20 years I’ve admired Avi Lewis’s fierce advocacy for the working class and serious action on climate change. I’m thrilled to see him seek the leadership of the federal NDP.

As soon as Air Canada knew the strike was real, they made a deal.

In other words, if the government had told Air Canada that they wouldn't force the striking workers back to work, this whole thing would've been avoided.

The government constantly siding with corporations is why this chaos happened.

Physicians for Human Rights Israel published a report on the “deliberate and systematic dismantling of Gaza's health and life-sustaining systems” consistent with the definition of genocide.

Exactly the result one would expect when you tear down modular homes and ban new supportive housing.

Gaza suffering man-made mass starvation, says WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus issues warning, as more than 100 aid groups urge Israel to ease blockade

Words of condemnation are not enough. In the face of deliberate starvation & executions in Gaza, it's time for 🇨🇦 to impose economic sanctions on Israel. 🧵...

Vision Zero: this is what public safety looks like. I just signed up to speak to Vancouver City Council in favour of safe streets. The deadline to do that is tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5pm.

Tenants need to know that Vancouver has their back.

That's why @lucymaloney.bsky.social and @ptfry.bsky.social have brought a motion to bring back the Renter Office.

Just published-- Harm reduction and treatment, along with prevention, are pillars of a serious response to the drug toxicity crisis. Harm reduction measures should be expanded to improve the health of people who use drugs and the capacity of the health system to respond. Full text: rdcu.be/efTls

Another day, another empty parking lot that should have housing. We can do better.

We need Councillors that push to build new affordable homes in places with ZERO displacement.

The solutions to the housing crisis are all around us. And sometimes they look like a parking lot!

OneCity's plan for transportation

Safer and less congested streets are possible - but only if we have leadership that will put in the work.

@lucymaloney.bsky.social will force votes on safer streets.

Ken Sim will show us where he stands. And it won't be with you.

Housing is increasingly precarious in Vancouver and more and more people are being plunged into homelessness. We need strong tenant protections city-wide to protect those of us who rent from bad actor developers.
