Deeply disappointed to see @cityofvancouver.bsky.social terminated the All Souls Nights at Mountainview Cemetery.
This event has been a tradition for us for the last 6 years, and the event has been going for 20.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Vancouver was well served by City Manager Paul Mochrie, a skilled, thoughtful professional. I wish him the absolute best.
I've no insight or agreement on Sim and Mochrie conversation that "mutually agreed that it was the right time for a leadership change" - but it's a big loss for CofV.

Superman is the story of an immigrant who grew up in Kansas, landed a low-paying job as a reporter in Metropolis, and still had time for a hobby because urban housing was affordable.

Here's the silver lining for tonight's byelection debacle.
Part of the justification for cutting back staffing was turnout in byelections is typically very low.
And this one didn't matter to the balance on council.
Yet thousands of voters waited for hours to exercise their democratic right.

This week, China found out the price for being an undermining foe is 10%.
And Canada found out that the price for being a helpful friend, who helped with California's wild fires, is 15% more.
Thank you, totally incompetent Donald Trump.

Today, I signed an executive order prohibiting greedy land developers from ripping off LA wildfire victims with unsolicited, undervalued offers to buy their destroyed property.
Make no mistake — this is a prosecutable crime.

So proud of the great work happening in Minneapolis, which shows that boosting housing supply helps make homes more affordable.
