look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

“It’s almost like he thinks my needs are unimportant. Like he doesn’t care about my opinions, or that he doesn’t think about me at all. Now obviously that can’t possibly be true, because I am a big important boy.”
Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

NEW: City Budget survey results are out. By a more than two-to-one margin over any other scenario, Vancouver residents wanted a tax rate that maintained public services.
Zero means zero consideration of public feedback.

Ken Sim is a heinous loser. All of these cuts are in opposition to public feedback, summarized at the end of this very report. We need a candidate for 2026 with the Zohran juice but idk if we have one 😩
Vancouver's proposed 2026 budget has been released.
It proposes a property tax freeze, a 10% increase to the Police Services budget, a 6% increase to Fire/Rescue Services, and lots of other cuts, including Arts & Culture, Planning & Sustainability, and much more.

When you’re riding public transit you realize that what’s good for everybody is also good for you. If the bus runs faster, if the train is cleaner, if the AC works, we all benefit
when you’re driving a car, every other car on the road is your personal enemy

The Times parsed the vote using similar categories and again found that the single most determinative factor economic-like factor in the election was "commute by transit" vs "commute by car." It edged out renters vs. homeowners. There's still outstanding data but I expect these trends will hold.
