Here's a summary of @kensimcity.bsky.social and @vote4abc.bsky.social strategy over entire budget process.
Ignored speakers, then actually shit on them after the fact.

Walked over to Ciity Hall to watch and support speakers opposing the Vancouver 2026 budget proposal. So many Vancouverites speaking truth and reality to power and Ken Sim's fantasy. You know who isn't here? In person or virtually? @kensimcity.bsky.social
"Absent" #vanpoli

Just read: “Corporate Control” by @nolore.bsky.social, who has ALL the receipts on successive Canadian governments complete--and willing--sell-out to capitalism/corporate greed.
GREAT book--200 concise pages, a must read if you truly care about what has happened to Canada in the last 40 years. ⬇️

and Klassen (chair) acts as if both people are at fault.
Montague has basically done zero on this council--except make sure every last dollar gets to the VPD (his first priority, and why he was put on the ABC ticket), shitpost on Vision Zero, and get caught doing Fortis's bidding--in council

And then greed/capitalism & a City Hall & province that doesn't stand in its way, comes for you.
My 2nd go-round with renoviction, if rezoning app is approved (duh, they always are). Perfectly good 3 storey walk up in great condition w 20 families, demolished to put up an 18 story tower #vanpoli

Today would be a good day for @davidebybc.bsky.social to reconsider his tentative support for @kensimcity.bsky.social anti-democratic plan to abolish Vancouver's elected Park Board. Eby usually good at reading tea leaves, and April 5th was a clear message--the people of Vancouver reject Sim #vanpoli

the DC ecosystem...DC people with no moral compass shift with the slightest breeze to make sure the bookers keep calling. Read "Citizens of the Green Room". Does she not understand the Internet has a record? I dropped her on twitter long ago, when I started seeing through her schtick.

On recent plane trip. The only person on entire plane wearing a respirator (N95). Not a brag. Just a sad anecdote of the effects of Public Health negligence. So many people coughing.

Up to Mt Seymour at sunrise to hike in the pristine snow (with micro-spikes). Just enough snow to make it great for snow-hiking, but not enough snow for the resort to open and start their onerous back-country user parking restrictions. And enjoyed the sun while the city was covered in clouds. Bonus!

but what would their donor friends say? (they call them "partners")
Or the consultancies?
Or the lobbyists.
