Language around Canadians not traveling to the U.S. is telling. American media still seems amused at our reaction to "the rhetoric that many Canadians feel is condescending." Your criminal president threatened our very existence -- it goes way beyond hurt feelings.

Councillor @seanorr.bsky.social via his ‘gram: “Last night, after council was dispersing around 10pm, I heard [Mayor Sim] say something that really bothered me… He said ‘What an awesome waste of time. Another day in paradise.’”
Ok folks we are back at it again from 1-5. Yesterday was a lot. Heard from so many passionate Vancouverites.
Unfortunately I heard the mayor say it was a waste of time. But I assure you, I’m listening.

Budget hearing continued after short recess. 157: environmental lawyer (?)Reads poem. 158: raised in east van. This is austerity and hasn’t been asked for. I’ve been lucky enough to use public services. Breaks my heart to think they won’t get same quality. Few people asked for this police budget.

Some breaking news: in a special Vancouver Police Board meeting only announced over the weekend, the police board has requested a $50 million increase to their budget for 2026.
This comes as other departments across the city are trying to cut staff to ensure a property tax freeze for next year.

Another gross example of the degree to which we normalize traffic violence: A child and a vehicle somehow “collide” in a crosswalk outside an elementary school. Slow clap to Maple Ridge - Pitt Meadows News, owned by Black Press Media.

Bligh has a decent amount of support from the province and feds (more than Sim or Allam at this point), which could help.
But her 6 years being a supporter of Ken Sim, and getting elected under both the NPA and ABC banners, means it’ll be difficult to get support from local left-wing parties.

Rebecca Bligh voted to slash wages for workers, to block rental housing in wealthy neighbourhoods, and to oppose common sense tools to properly fund our schools.
We need a progressive mayor on the ballot to deliver the change Vancouver needs. And we’ll get one. More soon.

Vancouver councillor Rebecca Bligh makes official she will run for mayor next year under a new banner of “Vote Vancouver”.
Bligh was first elected in 2018 with the NPA, left them, joined Sim’s ABC Party and was re-elected, before she was booted from ABC, mostly on divisions over social issues.

Apartments (including rentals and below market homes!) are banned from most of the city's nice side streets.

Global News laid off 26 journalists in B.C. and Alberta today.
In B.C. the layoffs include virtually all of the online team, along with many others.
The business is increasingly cruel, and the hollowing out of newsrooms providing fair and reliable information continues to suck.

The Province of BC has caved to the mattress industry by waiving its obligation to deal with the garbage it produces. This pushes the burden of worn-out beds onto local govs and you and me, and will result in more illegal dumping. @stefanlabbe.bsky.social (1 of 6) www.biv.com/news/economy...
