Oof.
Vancouver's 2026 draft budget has PASSED.

Approved on a 7-4 vote on party lines, with ABC in favour and councillors Fry/Bligh/Orr/Maloney opposed.

Property tax freeze, $50 million more for VPD, and cuts to Arts, Culture, Planning and Sustainability departments, among others.

Full story to come.

This is the play about my friend's father, that hit me so hard on Friday night, seeing people I know/knew well — who played a big role in my own childhood! — portrayed on stage, and mention of so much that is intertwined with my own past.

Ok folks we are back at it again from 1-5. Yesterday was a lot. Heard from so many passionate Vancouverites.

Unfortunately I heard the mayor say it was a waste of time. But I assure you, I’m listening.
Budget hearing continued after short recess. 157: environmental lawyer (?)Reads poem. 158: raised in east van. This is austerity and hasn’t been asked for. I’ve been lucky enough to use public services. Breaks my heart to think they won’t get same quality. Few people asked for this police budget.

Some much needed laughter. Can't wait!

'Tis the Sitcom opens Nov. 20 at The Improv Centre and runs until Dec. 30.

Really light cloud cover in Vancouver but the super bright aurora above is still seeping through at times with spots of red and green lighting up the grey blanket between us and the spectacle.
