This is not a typical election win. An openly anti-zionist, pro-Palestine, socialist candidate getting a vote from over half of those who cast a ballot is a HUGE deal at any level of government in any western country. Feeling extremely proud of this community!
Sean Orr ran a campaign in one of Canada's largest cities on taking on the billionaire class and is currently leading the election.

Just wow! Amazing work, Vancouver!! @seanorr.bsky.social on more than half the ballots cast! Huge thanks to all the @copevancouver.bsky.social volunteers. Don't you just love some socialism with your morning coffee? ❤️❤️ #EvictKenSim
And the final results are in.
Orr and Maloney in a blowout, with Orr on more than half the ballots cast — an impressive result on a crowded ballot, even in a byelection context.
ABC gets around 13% of the vote, slightly ahead of how Vision did in the 2017 byelection when they were in power.

Vancouver is not just for the 1%.
Sean Orr is running for city council to stand up to the billionaires who buy politicians and elections, to fight to protect tenants, to fight for permanently affordable public housing, and to make Ken Sim’s life hard every single day.

Mixed emotions at the #Canucks game tonight - I’ll jump on the opportunity to boo the US anthem any time. But equally grossed out by the vigour of the canadian anthem. Can we just boo both settler colonial projects? Also, the game was awesome ✌🏻
