I had my concerns about such a young candidate but I'm tired of being told that a better world isn't possible and that we need to be "reasonable" while the world burns around us. Emily is saying all the right things that our current leaders lack the courage to say.
Vote for Emily!

So excited to be at the launch party for Emily Lowan's campaign to lead the BC Greens!

I haven't seen so many young people at a fun partisan event since the old Work Less Party parties.

I’m Emily Lowan & I'm running to be the next leader of the BC Green Party. I’ve spent the last decade organizing for climate justice & Indigenous rights. Our movement needs a political vehicle to change the conversation: to centre the people, not the corporate lobbyists. youtube.com/shorts/1B-Ny...

This decision means that the PRGT pipeline can proceed with an environmental assessment from over a decade ago

The pipeline is owned my Trump's billionaire donors and opposed by Indigenous communities along the route

Shame on the BC NDP for allowing this project to go ahead!

Crucial to supply the proposed Ksi Lisims LNG facility, PRGT applied for a substantial start designation in December, a decade after its 2014 approval

Stop the cuts to library hours!

The people have spoken.

Ken Sim & his billionaire-backed party have no mandate to continue underfunding our vital public services.

If the Jewish Fed and CIJA thought they actually had anything on @seanorr.bsky.social, they would have used it during the by-election.

Instead they waited to launch a sneak attack on a brand new councillor with an historic mandate.

The cynicism is deep. And deeply predictable.

Why is an ABC Vancouver politician contacting a person making death threats against Councillor Orr? This person claims to know Orr's address, is doxxing him, and advising people on how to break into his home.

Does ABC Mayor Ken Sim condone doxxing and murdering public officials? #vanpoli

The billionaires backing politicians like Ken Sim are sacrificing our future to enrich themselves.

Sean Orr will fight for civic governance that takes the long view and protects our city, our local green space, and our planet for future generations.

How can anyone take this man seriously? He both shows contempt for democracy and admits no one is at their launch party. He jokes about taking bribes. He thinks by-elections are a joke and is counting on you not showing up to the polls. Let’s show them that Vancouver DOES care

Ken Sim is now being driven to work, personal appointments and campaign events in a SUV driven by his own VPD security detail

Over the last 5 months, it has cost $226,000. If it continues until the next election, the cost will be over $1 million

Outside Vancouver City Hall there was protest. Inside Mayor Ken Sim & his ABC party took another big step toward clearing the Downtown Eastside to make way for luxury condos. For our right wing mayor, Musk & Trump are both convenient distraction and political inspiration. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Moving to a witness-only safe supply program in BC is a mistake. This is essentially how methadone is dispensed and amounts to a huge, well-documented barrier that keeps thousands from accessing life-saving meds. BC will have still more corpses www.theprogress.com/news/bc-gove...

Supposedly left-center NDP has just fired the *entire* Victoria school board in order to reverse the ban on cops in schools.

The democratically elected school board was supported by Victoria Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils to keep cops out of schools.
