@cbcwatcher @preta_6 I don't have much faith that @cbc will let the public decide who will represent Canada at Eurovision. The best artist won't be chosen, it will be someone chosen by a CBC panel with a political agenda that has nothing to do with music.

@preta_6 CBC is really pushing hard to join Eurovision but Canada is already reigning champ at ZeroVision

Australia and Canada are in the worst contest ever.

@nationalpost Don't bother @cbc unless it is the public who decides who represents Canada at Eurovision. We should send our best artist, not someone chosen by a panel with an agenda outside of music.

Canada welcome to send performer to Eurovision song contest: director nationalpost.com/news/canada/ca…

@VancouverPD Horrifying seeing this in our neighborhood. Wishing both officers and the senior citizen a speedy recovery.

#VPDNews: A senior citizen was critically injured and two Vancouver Police Department officers were taken to hospital with injuries after a male driver allegedly rammed several vehicles, sped through a section of Nelson Park, and intentionally drove along a sidewalk in Vancouver's West End Friday morning. The senior remains in hospital in critical condition. The VPD officers are also in hospital being treated for their injuries. The incident was reported at about 5:30 a.m. when a vehicle was observed driving erratically in the area of Comox and Broughton streets, striking numerous objects, including the Nelson Park dog area. Several witnesses nearby had to scramble to get out of the way of the suspect's vehicle. The senior, who was riding a motorized scooter at the time, was unable to evade the driver. The suspect was eventually stopped after he rammed a police vehicle responding to the scene, destroying the cruiser and flipping the suspect's vehicle. He was trapped inside the vehicle and arrested near Comox and Bute streets. Multiple ambulances responded along with Vancouver Fire Rescue Services who were able to free the man from the wreckage. Mental health and drug use issues are possible factors in this incident. The Major Crimes Unit is investigating. The motive remains unclear at this time. The VPD will update the public as more information becomes available. Comox Street between Thurlow and Bute remains closed to the public for the time being.

@iamkennethchan The bike lane ruined Water St with hundreds of ugly painted dots on the cobblestones, concrete partitions, and all the ugly signs to remind everyone about the bike lane and how much some city worker, with no sense of aesthetics nor design, hates cars. @GastownB #gastown #vanpoli

This is the City of Vancouver's plan to transform #Gastown's streets for pedestrians and events, starting with a $25-million overhaul of Maple Tree Square. Water Street will see new pavers, widened sidewalks, and more. #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/gast…

@iamkennethchan @DailyHiveVan Why not work within a budget and not raising property taxes. Tired of seeing our tax $$$ being spent on eco vanity projects like the $10 Million bike lane plaza at Robson & Bute. We did not need it! dailyhive.com/vancouver/bute…

COPE councillor Sean Orr is proposing a 7% property tax hike for Vancouver homeowners, but it'd also be paired with a rebate for most. Hike targets higher-valued properties of $3+ million, multiple owners, and/or non-resident investors. #vanre #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/fair…

@CityHallWchVAN Reduce it to 25 meters and add a “lazy river.”

Kitsilano Pool. City has summary of their consultation from last summer (via ShapeYourCity). But what are the options that are being considered to be put forward for the renewal of the pool (as part of the 2027-2030 Capital Plan)?

@iamkennethchan While we’re at it… Can we please restore Gastown to a state prior to when it became an eyesore of barriers, painted dots, and dozens of ugly traffic signs.

All of the "Welcome to Vancouver" entrance signs are set to be updated, including the removal of "2010 Olympic host city" text. And there will be more City street cleaning teams and a removal of some Slow Street banana barriers. #vanre #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/welc…

@VancouverSun So what? Why do we have to keep up with the Joneses? #Vancouver is already one of the most unaffordable cities in the world to live in. Increasing taxes to build more bike lanes to fulfill some politicians dream of being the “greenest city in the world” is absurd. #vanpoli

@DailyHiveVan I wish! NDP cancelling this bridge when they came into power was a huge mistake that will cost tax payers dearly. NDP tunnel cost is going to balloon.

BC Conservative leader candidate proposes reviving 10-lane George Massey bridge project as the 'Sir John A. Macdonald Gateway' 🌉 dailyhive.com/vancouver/geor…

@iamkennethchan @DailyHiveVan Before we spend any more tax $$$ on fancy new things, and that goal of being the “Greenest City in the World. Let’s repair the aging water and sewer system. Main St and Quebec sewage line was a disaster and it’s still not complete after how many years?

William Azaroff, who is seeking OneCity's nomination to run for Vancouver mayor, is proposing city-wide coordinated traffic signals that could cost up to $200 million. 🚦 It'd also enable extensive signal priority for #TransLink buses. #vanre #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/vanc…

@iamkennethchan No wonder Vancouver is considered to have some of the worse traffic congestion. Car hating politicians spending millions of tax $$$ on making #Vancouver less livable.

City of Vancouver is eyeing federal & provincial loans to demolish the Dunsmuir & Georgia viaducts and build new roads, enabling Northeast False Creek projects. Development revenues are no longer enough due to "massive cost escalation." #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/duns…

@iamkennethchan #Vancouver was recently named “the most sustainable city in the WORLD. Isn’t it time more money was spent on upgrading our water and sewer system and less on Green vanity projects? #vanpoli

Construction on Davie Village's pedestrian-friendly makeover is set to begin in September 2026. 2 blocks of Davie Street between Jervis and Thurlow streets will see the sidewalks expanded into curbside parking spaces. #vancre #vanre #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/davi…

@iamkennethchan $10M should've been put to better use. Stop spending millions in tax $$$ on more bike lanes that close off road access causing congestion. Any new bike lane spending should be a separate line in the capitol plan borrowing separate from engineering at election #vancouver #vanpoli

The public plaza at the intersection of Robson Street & Bute Street has fully opened. The in-street, car-free plaza on Bute Street south of Robson Street reached completion this week. The entire project cost $10 million. #vanpoli #vanre #vancre dailyhive.com/vancouver/bute…

@elenoresturko Shouldn’t something that affects all B.C. citizens go to referendum?

David Eby admits he has no idea how to fix the problems the NDP created with DRIPA. The NDP must repeal DRIPA and Sec 8.1 of the Interpretation Act. vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

@iamkennethchan No thank you. I don’t need a mayor who wants to make Vancouver the Greenest city in the world at the cost of affordability, function, and economy of the city.

Former Vancouver mayor Kennedy Stewart is seriously considering running in the 2026 civic election. "I love this city, and I believe Vancouver deserves competent, experienced leadership." #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/vanc…

@elenoresturko If BC is a democracy, why don't we put this up for a vote or referendum?

The recent legal consequences of DRIPA were designed and delivered by David Eby & the NDP. As AG, Eby changed the Interpretation Act directing statutory decision makers to align our laws with UNDRIP. These were the intended consequences. Eby & the NDP must repeal DRIPA to prioritze the rights of all British Columbians. If they are unwilling to do so, they should support my current & pending PMB's. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

@GlobalBC NDP has gone too far. No one is going to want to do business with BC anymore. I've never voted conservative before but seriously considering it next time. This affects all BC citizens and should be put to vote.

B.C. Conservatives interim leader says party will 'work co-operatively' to repeal DRIPA globalnews.ca/news/11566873/…

@iamkennethchan If you want street safety, get back to the basics. STOP, LOOK both ways, enter crosswalk ONLY when the signal permits. Pedestrians should not enter crosswalks when Red Hand signal is flashing. Take personal responsibility and stop blaming drivers. Tired of OneCity car hating.

OneCity Vancouver city councillor Lucy Maloney is proposing banning right turns during the red-light traffic signal pattern at key intersections.🚦↱🚫 This includes intersections with frequent accidents, bike lanes & pedestrian pathways. #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/vanc…

@iamkennethchan BC Transit is already facing financial issues and route cuts. There is no money for this and raising our taxes is not the answer.

These four #TransLink bus routes within Vancouver should be considered for a fare-free pilot project, according to COPE city councillor Sean Orr. "These routes’ popularity and citywide significance make them strong candidates." #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/vanc…
