Today: Full speed, inside the swim markers.
I’m calling on all Commissioners to support my motion tonight @ParkBoard to prohibit and severely restrict sea-doos in Burrard Inlet.

It’s a toxic workplace characterized by knee jerk partisan pettiness - though I would highlight the thoughtful and attentive words of my colleagues Bligh, Maloney and Orr. Lost in this mess : council majority voted to ignore and abandon some if our city’s most vulnerable

Watched City Council last night. While everyone was waiting for the natural gas motion, a different one—about reinstating sex worker support—highlighted exactly how council has been operating lately

The thing about conflict of interest is *perception*.
A normal taxpayer-funded plaza takes 6-10 months to approve, but if you are a neighbour in the employ of the mayor Ken Sim's office it takes less than four?
🤔
*perception*

A newly constructed temporary plaza built next to an East Vancouver restaurant is raising questions as to whether it was accelerated due to the business’ connection to the mayor’s office.

Trevor, with (every modicum I can possibly muster of) due respect, you've no position to lecture on cheap political stunts, respectful workplace, or harassment. Your office literally trumped up defamatory lies about an elected councillor. Your entire brand built on disrespect 1/2
May 7
Very disappointed in @PtFry @rebeccaleebligh @seanorr - Your cheap political stunts end up intimidating and harassing non-political city staff, who are just trying to do their job. You know better than to bring cameras into staff work areas. #electrespect

Speaking of cheap political stunts @Trev_Ford_North
Bringing cameras into work areas to film non political city staff (and especially in context of mass "zero means zero" layoffs) is very intimidating and disrespectful indeed.
This you? It's not us.

We're excited to be moving forward with piloting VanStat, a new operational system that breaks down silos between City departments to deliver a more efficient, effective City Hall.
VanStat is built off of CompStat, an evidence-based reporting program used to identify challenges and improve accountability through data and cross-department collaboration.
VanStat will ensure City resources are deployed where they're needed the most.

Yesterday, an adversarial City Councillor leaned into my office uninvited to call me a “f#@!ng donkey” I think he meant it as an insult.
But donkeys are intelligent, loyal, tough as heck, and regularly deployed to protect livestock from predators.
checks!

Checked stockings for pink slips
Such a Holiday pity...

Zero Means Zero Meets FIFA
Staff report Dec 9 recommends terminating 10/11 Advisory Committees. As World Cup looms and we've yet to see a Human Rights Plan, volunteer-led citizens advisories are scrapped.
Eliminating Committees saves $160k @ department targeted by #zeromeanszero
ALT Vancouver logo atop a staff report dated Dec 1, 2025. Reads in part: Recommendations THAT Council change the term of all Council Advisory Committees (Type A Civic Agencies), except for the Urban Indigenous Peoples’ Advisory Committee, to end on January 30, 2026. Purpose To seek Council approval to change the term for 10 of the 11 “Type A” Council Advisory Committees to end on January 30, 2026, to address timing constraints and capacity pressures arising from the simultaneous scheduling demands of an intense Council and Public Hearing meeting schedule due to significant volume of public hearing referrals, FIFA World Cup 2026, and the 2026 general local election.

Worst is not that Montague hasn't lived or paid taxes in our city entire term, or that he lives over 400km away, or even his horrible decisions when he does show up.
Worse, as other Canadians suffer & boycott, BM was on leave from his tax-paid job to leisure in US for a month.
These are the people hacking and slashing the Vancouver budget, defunding pools, parks, and libraries to give handouts to the rich. 👇
Check out Councillor Montague’s eloquent response when asked about how he has never lived in Vancouver:

No, opposition tried to amend those revenues to prioritize public benefits.
Who trusts ABC priorities? (checks list):
Bloated mayor's office;
Buy bitcoin w/ city $;
Ban supportive housing;
Get rid of Park Board, Integrity Commissioner, renter's office, equity office;
etc.

This week, opposition councillors blocked a decision that would've unlocked 4,100 housing units for Vancouverites while creating a new non-tax revenue source that could have gone towards funding city services and critical infrastructure.
To say their decision was shortsighted and irresponsible would be an understatement.
We won't lose sight of the important goals here. Our focus is, and will always be, on delivering housing, affordability, and fiscal responsibility for the people of Vancouver.

Reckless. Feckless.
After squandering his first 3 years on bitcoin, unelecting Park Board, and record tax increases. Sim's promised zero budget means big cuts (likely ~$100m) First up, Equity. More to come.
“a desperate act in the last year of his term,”
ALT Screenshots from Vancouver Sun and CTV News, respective headlines read "Big cuts are coming to Vancouver City Hall. Will they be 'reckless' of cost saving efficiencies Ken Sim has long promised" and "City of Vancouver shutters Equity Office" - pictured are Ken Sim and ABC councillors and an arial shot of City Hall

Nate Lewis at Vancity Lookout did a great round-up and confirmed ABC’s insinuation that my complaint will cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars, is actually for the mayor et al legal fees to refute and block their investigation and indictment
