There are a few possible criticisms of this project out there, but "I am voting NO because nobody is representing the opposing side" is a piss poor one. Try plugging this on some other controversial motions and it's easy to see how nonsensical this argument is.

... and there are plenty of people, especially younger folks, who don't or can't attend public hearings because of their lives and obligations, even though they might be in favour of this development.

I struggle to wrap my head around how this is a legitimate opposition to a development project.

Watching the news about the terror attack in Vancouver will do nothing for you but deepen your despondency about it.

Cops will know nothing till the morning. I would expect an update around 8-9 am.

News rarely amounts quickly from these tragedies — more so when they happen at 9 on a Saturday PM.

Finally, Hardwick & TEAM's dismal showing ought to be a nail in the coffin of electoral NIMBYism in Vancouver.

This was as good as it gets for them: a by-election, low turnout (yes even tonight), loser incumbents, the Broadway Plan to rally against.

If she can't win tonight, she's done.

Thank you, Vancouver! I am so grateful for all of your support.

I'll have more to say in the morning.

But for tonight: thank you so, so much for putting your trust in me.

You have voted for progressive and principled opposition. And that's what I will deliver.

Just a reminder, this by-election really matters. A single councilor can single-handedly shape our city in so many ways.

Please go vote for @lucymaloney.bsky.social on Saturday! She's going to pick up this legacy and push it even further.

Amen to that.

His party murdered the consensus about the carbon tax. Concern trolling about it now is just hypocrisy.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard from a neighbour that they couldn’t get their kid into swim lessons… I could build a new pool.

Ken Sim and ABC have hiked up your property taxes year over year, and we don’t have much to show for it.

Schizophrenic foreign policy from the US

One of these is banned by default in Ontario, subject to an opt-in pilot program in select municipalities after which Doug Ford unilaterally decides if you have to throw it away (also no kid carrier models)

The other's allowed on every road in Canada w/ no restriction

can you guess which is which?

January 2025: Update on bike lane and parking Based on what we heard from community members, we have adjusted the design of the planned bike lane between Quesnel Drive and Dunbar Street. The existing vehicle parking lane will remain next to the curb, with a painted bike lane next to the travel lane. Bike lane painting will resume in spring 2025, when weather permits.

Vancouver tried to add a bike lane on King Ed in Dunbar:
👉Preserves street parking
👉Replaces no car lanes
👉Protected design

Mayor Ken Sim's weak leadership resulted in staff caving to misinformation from local opponents. Now we're getting another painted bike lane next to arterial traffic.
