The Port of Vancouver wants to dredge Burrard Inlet to enable more tankers to export more climate change causing bitumen. Will make our water even more toxic. Please can mainstream news cover this www.vancitylookout.com/p/who-is-eva...
Who is evaluating the potentially harmful impacts of dredging Burrard Inlet?
The proposed project, which could begin in 2026, has raised concerns among scientists and experts around a lack of study and independent oversight.

Just got emails from my kid’s sports teams this morning sharing that Ken Sim is proposing budget cuts to Parks Board that will reduce access to playing fields. Ken chooses to give money to his police buddies, and we all know why…
“The optics are, oh, the police get everything they want.”
Here’s my story on the Vancouver Police Department asking for a $50 million increase to their 2026 budget while others city departments are facing challenges — and how at least one board member seemed aware of the conflict it would create.

Please can our new mayor and council support gentle density. What we currently have in Vancouver is obscene density
To be clear, I created the term “gentle density” in 2007 when even laneway homes and ADUs/sec. suites were hard to accomplish. Before Dan Parolek started “missing middle.” It has value in low density where we’re working to add more choice, but it’s NOT a substitute where higher densities are needed.

Trigger warning.
“In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.”
Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.
