But the wild thing is there's got to be a significant percentage among reporters who did learn journalism under Frances who will now have to cover her as a candidate and, likely, as a member of council too.

I'm so glad to not be a Vancouver City Hall reporter and have to cover my beloved former teacher's run for office

I'll move to Vancouver and vote for her if she promises to appoint @kimbolan.bsky.social to the police board.

Vancouver city staff recommend dropping Mayor Ken Sim's bitcoin motion | CBC News Vancouver city staff are taking stock of what council motions they should work on for the rest of the year β€” and one of the motions on the chopping block is a pet project from Mayor Ken Sim.

Here’s my story on Vancouver staff recommending that the city stop considering Ken Sim’s bitcoin dreams

I’m told there’s very little chance the mayor ends up β€œdying on this hill” as he promised last year

The Tyee is proud to have published this important investigation by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. We condemn this egregious harassment of a journalist for doing her job, and have offered support as she deals with this disturbing situation.

"please stop pointing out that the most cop-friendly mayor of Vancouver in decades is lying about his opponents"

Police unions stop showing their whole asses: mission impossible.

COPE Councillor Considering Next Steps After Mayor’s False Drug Accusations | The Tyee Ken Sim wrongly accused Sean Orr of dealing illegal drugs and initially let another councillor take the blame.

Mayor Ken Sim has said he was shown a photo that led to him making a false accusation against Coun. Sean Orr.

There IS a fake AI image that came out around Christmas that sort of matches the allegations. @kehyslop.bsky.social asked Sim about this yesterday. #vanpoli

Vancouver’s Chinese community says mayor’s apology isn’t good enough Some members of Vancouver’s Chinese community say they’re not satisfied with Mayor Ken Sim’s apology following his false claims that a city councillor distributed drugs on Christmas Day.

β€œ'Fairchild TV News has not received any statement in Cantonese and/or Mandarin from Mayor Ken Sim, despite Sim stating he would do so yesterday,' said Albert Tsui, with Fairchild TV News."

Vancouver tops Toronto, Halifax as Canada's most traffic-congested city Canada-wide, drivers only proceed an average of 8 kilometres in 15 minutes during the evening rush hour

This is your annual reminder to ignore the tomtom congestion index coverage because the methodology is car-brained.

"How far can I travel" is the wrong metric.

When things are closer together, you don't need to travel as far to get things done!

"How many things can I get to?" is the right metric
