Having volunteered on and helped run socialist campaigns at the municipal level a few times here in Vancouver, what a joy it is to see the bar raised so spectacularly.

May Zohran Mamdani's historic win inspire us all to continue and to scale-up our political courage & the audacity of our efforts.

THE GOOD CANADIAN premieres today on CBC & APTN, also available on CBC Gem & APTN Lumi. I hope you will take the time to watch this important movie that connects the dots between the injustices faced by Indigenous people. Proud to have been a researcher on this project.

Beautiful new courts at Britannia. Great work by local community in collab with the non-profit Buckets and Borders.

Imagine if we properly invested in social infrastructure in Vancouver: every school and public park could have courts/art like this!

“That gilded hoard, nominally of great value, lying inert in a basement mocked the earlier conversation about the resources needed to fight climate change. With her, you are always conscious of misplaced priorities, of the time slipping away, of the need to rearrange national priorities and act. … Greta Thunberg and the movement she represents give hope that society won’t settle. It won’t settle for worthy statements followed by futile gestures. It won’t settle for countries having plans for 2.8C of warming that they then don’t even meet. It won’t settle for companies that preach green but don’t manage their carbon footprints. It won’t settle for financial institutions who can’t tell whether their investments and loans are on the right or wrong side of climate history.” - Mark Carney, “Value(s)”
