Another entrant in Vancouverβs 2026 mayoral campaign likely happening tomorrow.
Amanda Burrows, Executive Director of First United Church, is holding an event and has offered up a not so subtle clue on her Instagram account.
All signs point to running for the OneCity nomination.

Akashi might have been my fav of the festival - beautiful photography, and it successfully weaves a very personal story into a broader commentary about creativity and the impulses that drive artists. If Universal Language hadnβt come out last year, it would have been my fav recent Canadian film.

Arco isnβt necessarily bad, but itβs one of those things with a lot of good ingredients that feel put together. Itβs got some compelling imagery and an okay premise, but itβs very much a childrenβs animated film in the - donβt think too hard about anything - way. Dub casting was terrible.

VIFF 2025 was the first year that I properly engaged with the festival and saw more than 2 movies.
Standouts were:
1) Akashi
2) Kontinental β25 -a movie that is more interesting to think about than watch
Lows:
1) Arco

95% of world class directors and studio execs are used to stamping their feet and moving mountains on unreasonable timelines. VFX makes them wait and they hate it if it doesnβt conform to their vision perfectly. Even the ones that understand the process would rather see us dead than have to wait.

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US.

If the govt shuts down, I could lose work.
If it stays open at the cost of gender-affirming care, I could lose my child.
I can replace lost income. I can't replace my daughter.

Alt text: A screenshot of an article excerpt reporting on Israeli airstrikes on Iranβs Evin prison, which killed 79 people and destroyed parts of the facility. The text states that about 100 transgender inmates are missing and presumed dead after their section of the prison was flattened. Reza Shafakhah, a human rights lawyer, says the Iranian government often treats being transgender as a crime. It also mentions the death of the prisonβs chief prosecutor, Ali Ghanaatkar, and one of his deputies.
Israel bombed an Evin, an Iranian prison that housed dissidents and political prisoners. They ended up destroying the trans wing and murdering over 100 trans people incarcerated there, many for simply being queer in Iran.
This is unspeakable evil.

β’ The Monkees' Micky Dolenz said that when he tripped on LSD with Wilson, John Lennon, and Harry Nilsson, Wilson played "Shortenin' Bread" on piano "over and over again". [291
β’ Biographer Peter Ames Carlin wrote that Elton John and Iggy Pop were bemused by an extended, contumacious Wilson-led singalong of "Shortenin' Bread", leading Pop to flee the room proclaiming, "I gotta get out of here, man. This guy is nuts!"[32]
β’ Musician Alice Cooper recalled that Wilson considered "Shortenin' Bread" to be the greatest song ever written. According to Cooper, when he asked why, Wilson responded
"I don't know, it's just the best song ever written." [33]
