The federal government, Westbank and TELUS have announced three new AI data centres in B.C., including two in Vancouver; one at West Georgia and Beatty, and the second in Mt. Pleasant. It's a multibillion-dollar investment in Canadian data sovereignty and our city. #vanpoli

This is correct. #Vancouver looks the way it does because city residents & activists blocked a plan to build a freeway along Beach ave. Also stopped the 4 seasons hotel from building towers at the entrance of Stanley Park.
Point is, we’ve done it before, we can do it again.

Vancouver historically has been very good at blocking new projects of all kinds. Over the years, this city’s nimbys have said no to bridges, transit expansions, highways, public housing, big box stores, the very notion of “density.” We can 100% shut this down

BC just leveled up! The new AI data centres in Vancouver and Kamloops are a total game-changer for our tech ecosystem and local jobs. This is the future and the path to a stronger, more modern economy. #BCForward #AI #FutureIsHere #vanpoli

@CTVNews You mean they are stealing that much from the rest of us, right? I am sure that’s what you must have meant

Peter is a Vancouver City councillor.
He has his job — one that gives him power and pays him well — because people loaned him their vote four years ago. I hope they take it back this fall.
It costs nothing to be kind. #vanpoli

“We cannot continue to expand fossil fuel infrastructure and hit our climate goals.”

This man’s descent from progressive to corporate conservative underscores the profound toxicity of power. #bcpoli

Approval of the Sunrise natural gas expansion project is good news for BC jobs. It will also strengthen BCs role as an engine for a more independent Canadian economy – delivering affordable energy people rely on and powering growth in major industries. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

In a city where sex workers were preyed upon by a serial killer, this decision is abhorrent.

The City of Vancouver has eliminated one of two sex worker safety planner positions as it continues to work through “organizational and operational changes.” ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…

Feel free to Google the Robert Pickton case if you don’t understand why these positions are so important.

The poorest & most vulnerable people in #Vancouver should not have to pay the price for Ken Sim’s BS “zero means zero” budget by losing services so he can delay property tax increases for wealthy landowners until after the next election. This is beyond shameful.

BREAKING... Mayor Ken Sim is calling for the launch of a bidding process to bring a Major League Baseball expansion franchise to Vancouver. "We see an opportunity to position Vancouver as the next home for a franchise." #MLB #bcpoli #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/vanc…

@vancolour Appreciate you saying what we are all thinking. Really folks, THIS is what they were making us all wait for? Good grief!

COPE, OneCity, and the Vancouver Greens have agreed to avoid splitting the progressive vote in October’s #vanpoli election! 🗳️
Except, there are 10 city council seats… and 15 progressive candidates on the ballot from the COPE/OneCity/Greens alliance? 🤔
You do the math 🧮

@KenSimCity Homelessness increased by 12% last year Ken could you focus on doing something about that maybe?

Vancouver should become the next home of a Major League Baseball team.
With the MLB publicly expressing interest in expansion in the near future, we see an opportunity to position our city as the next home for a franchise.
This could be an opportunity to bring something truly special to Vancouver. An MLB team would be a significant step forward for our city and would create lasting memories for fans across generations.
