Still want Vancouver to be the Greenest City? Apparently, Ken Sim and ABC don't.
Saving a few bucks to the city will come at an even greater cost down the line.

This is great, police on ATV's clearing beaches of picnickers at 10pm at the height of summer was so heavy-handed.
The latest motion from @tomdigby1.bsky.social was passed by the @cityofvancouver.bsky.social last week, looking to extend summer beach hours for a safer, more enjoyable experience on our longest days.

I fully support a blanket rezoning of the city to allow for six-story apartments in any street in the city on any standard size lot. Allowing this type of development will unleash the potential of small and medium developers to build the missing middle housing we do desperately need.
On Wed Sep 17, City of Vancouver Councillor @lucymaloney.bsky.social will intro a motion that aims to unlock new apartment buildings up to six floors, and corner stores, on quiet Vancouver streets, including cycling routes and local streets around parks. (1/3)

After 3 years, the Stanley Park Mobility Study has been released. You can read it here: parkboardmeetings.vancouver.ca/2025/2025091...
It is very, very underwhelming. A return of a separated bike lane is contemplated, but not specifically recommended, in the 7-15 year timeframe.

What’s the REAL reason Pierre Poilievre won’t get the normal security clearance that everyone in his position gets?
1. His bad excuse —he wants to be able to level uninformed political attacks unburdened by actual information?
2. The worse possibilty that he knows he can’t pass the security check?

Elon, Don, Bibi and Pipi. What a team they will make.
In Canada, it’s probably going to be Carney vs Poilievre for Prime Minister, in a time of unprecedented economic and sovereignty threats from Trump.
Carney hasn’t been a politician, and is one of the most experienced and respected economic experts in the world, known for intelligence & integrity.

Here’s the thing — when a politician shows they can be bought & will sell out the public interest for their self-interest… and that they’ll easily lie when lives will be endangered & cities will be hurt…you know you can’t ever trust them.

This is SHOCKING. Among everything else that’s despicable about this, ITS A CLEAR ADMISSION THAT THEY KNOW THAT DOING THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY ENDANGER LIVES.
People rode bikes on these streets before the bike-lanes (albeit fewer) and they will again after. The inevitable blood will be on Ford’s hands.
