- The Quebec City mosque attack was a tragedy fuelled by hate. Today we honour the victims and survivors. It's on all of us to do better and hold each other accountable. We're all in this together. Part of bridging cultures & beliefs is understanding: pakcanbc.com/al-jamia-mas... www.ajyal.ca

- Really great thoughts in this piece. Voting in Vancouver should be easy & accessible. Over the coming months, expect us to keep our platforms clear & respectful to everyone's time & "political fluency". What would you say we've nailed in the past? Where do you think we can work harder? #VanPoli

- Reposted by Green Party of VancouverOn International Holocaust Remembrance Day, thinking about the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis, along with hundreds of thousands of dissidents, LGBT, Roma, people with disabilities. Reflecting on those horrors, the statement "never again" and the systems that enable genocide today and ongoing.
- Today we join in remembrance of a terrible point in our history. It's worth reflecting that some have not learned lessons from our past. We support and champion those who recognize & are constantly seeking to correct such wrongs. There is still work to do. You can learn more at www.vhec.org
- Vancouver, it's been a real pleasure getting reacquainted this past year! If you want to help us thrive, you can volunteer with us! Door-knocking is one of the best ways we can get to know Vancouver, by listening to what people think is or isn't working for the city. www.vangreens.ca/volunteer
- We're getting a lot of interest in running, so we're extending our deadline! If you want to make a difference for Vancouver, we're accepting submissions until 5pm on Friday, Feb. 6. Learn how to apply through the link and get your endorsements. www.vangreens.ca/nominations_... #VanPoli
- Yesterday council voted unanimously in favour of @ptfry.bsky.social's motion to close the gaps being exploited in Vancouver. This article highlights the importance of this move, and getting more accountability in place before bad actors exploit tenants going into major events like FIFA and beyond.
- City Council agrees there's a problem and it's time to fix it. Way to go, @ptfry.bsky.social! Thank you to everyone who called in and came in to speak in support! #VanPoli #TenantProtection
- This needs to be stopped. As @ptfry.bsky.social says, "It’s the bad actors that we want to have more tools to capture.” You can help the city get those tools. Sign up today by 5pm to speak on motion 2! vancouver.ca/your-governm...

- Reposted by Green Party of VancouverThe closure of London Drugs at Hastings/Abbot is a loss for the neighbourhood. Yes, safety/security issues are a challenge for this and any operator, but there is more to consider in this story: the outsized location relied on a market that doesn't exist. History🧵 vancouversun.com/news/london-...
- The pressure to find stable, "affordable" rental living is driving people to take unnecessary risks that the city needs to start mitigating. As @ptfry.bsky.social says, more accountability is required to protect renters from bad-acting landlords. #VanPoli #RentVancouver

- Dec. 14 marked the beginning of Hanukkah, and we wish all who celebrate this time of year health & happiness. Our hearts go out to the community after the deplorable actions at the celebration in Australia. Interested in connecting or learning more? www.jewishvancouver.com/community-ca...
- Thank you to everyone who came out to speak in support of @ptfry.bsky.social's two motions — they were a big hit with council! Keeping services accessible, both in brick and mortar locations and online, is vital to serving Vancouver's needs. #VanPoli

- Welcome news!
- Reposted by Green Party of VancouverImportant reckoning. Sadly, this is a broken record / broken system where supposedly well intentioned child apprehensions often result in real harm to the kids and parent(s) and very little accountability. I know and have worked with many of the people involved in this story 🙌🏽 gratitude and respect.
- BREAKING - Reports are coming in that advisory committees are staying put! To accommodate ABC's "Zero Means Zero" budget, they were put on the chopping block. Now, thanks to all who spoke out in support, the report was withdrawn. Congratulations everyone, our voices made a difference! #VanPoli

- Breaking news from @ctvnewsvancouver.bsky.social that 30 non-union employees at CoV were fired today is an alarming signal of what ABC’s “Zero Means Zero’’ budget truly means for our city. It is actively defunding core city services. Vancouver deserves transparency. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

- Reposted by Green Party of VancouverZero Means Zero Meets FIFA Staff report Dec 9 recommends terminating 10/11 Advisory Committees. As the World Cup looms and we've yet to see a Human Rights Plan, volunteer-led citizens advisories are scrapped. Eliminating Committees saves $160,000 @ department targeted by #zeromeanszero cuts
- Advisory committees were to run until Nov 2026. Now ABC wants to shut down 10 early - renters, seniors, equity, women, arts, disability, food, transport. This is targeted, strategic & wrong. Your voice is being cut out. Fight back. Sign up to speak out: win.newmode.net/greenpartyof... #VanPoli
- Both visible & invisible disabilities are equally valid & need our respect and support. Whether it's mobility aids or working through chronic pain or adapting systems to work with ADHD or Autism, take time to remember that everyone's struggle is unique and that compassion can go a long way.

- Even after so many voices came forward, ABC couldn't offer more details beyond, "Just trust us". Together with @ptfry.bsky.social, we will continue to demand transparency & accountability while fighting to protect vital services and supports in Vancouver. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #VanPoli

BUT on the upside, this does free up over $1m of in-kind policing City of Vancouver contributes, perhaps we can refund some of the cuts to community services? #zeromeanszero www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
- Reposted by Green Party of VancouverLIVE Budget Engineering fees set to go up across the board for everything was severed to provide relief for patio permits (a nice $300,000 nod to consider small business) but when I suggested it could be offset by increasing Street and Traffic By-law Fines specific to road safety, ABC rejected 😒

- Today is the final day of public input on the 2026 budget brought forward by ABC and Mayor Sim, and, well, it couldn't be more clear how Vancouver feels. 600+ speakers! Hopefully, they were heard by those who need to hear it. Tune in for the last speakers: www.youtube.com/live/nW7nFWE... #VanPoli
- Reposted by Green Party of VancouverToxic rhetoric online isn't new, but when political leaders indulge violent language directed at local elected colleagues, it's a failure at most basic level of democracy. Politicians have a moral obligation to call our (not hug out) their supporters when they cross that line. Do better. ⬇️thread
- Reposted by Green Party of VancouverKen Sim's comments on EarlyEd were delusional: His defense of "thorough budget presentation" suggested councillors were afforded multiple rounds of questions. In fact, critical councillors were given only two 5min blocks for questions and answers on 90 slide, 23p, $2.4b budget before ABC cut us off
- Listening to Ken Sim’s @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social interview and it’s kind of surprising his team doesn’t prepare him better for this tough interviewer. He says the police board has said no to some budget asks and the police have cut back their spending - but can’t name examples. #vanpoli

- With a lack of straight answers & details in yesterday's budget presentations, how can councillors vote on this? ABC wants to hand-wave the details & fill in the blanks as they go. Ken Sim says he's not "a numbers guy," but this isn't how budgeting works. vancouversun.com/news/local-n... #VanPoli
- With discussion from 600+ public speakers starting yesterday, one theme keeps coming up: we don't have enough information to vote on this budget. ABC needs to go back to the drawing board before anyone votes. Keep raising your voices, Vancouver! vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/11/12/v... #VanPoli

- ABC thinks they can sneak in a "winning" budget for next year's election but with this many people speaking, it's clear Vancouverites have an opinion on the cuts. "Beg forgiveness rather than ask permission" is not a good plan & Vancouver has noticed. Sign up to speak: vancouver.ca/your-governm...
- Sign up to join the hundreds already pouring out to speak on this misguided budget!
- There’s still time to let council know what you think of the proposed 2026 “zero means zero” budget Budget presentation and speakers begin Nov 12, more info and deadline below council.vancouver.ca/20251112/spe...
- 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. Full article in @nationalobserver.com: www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/11/n... #VanPoli

- On the discussion of VPD and VFD budgets yesterday, @ptfry.bsky.social was asking the right questions about Task Force Barrage: why did approval for $5 mil in spending seem like an afterthought? That decision should have come to City Council before ABC unilaterally approved TFB. #VanPoli
- Reposted by Green Party of VancouverVancouver's 'zero means zero' budget will mean slashing 400 jobs “These aren’t surgical cuts. These are chainsaw cuts.
