@henryyaormd @thebaddestpitt Except this IS about one individual - Cllr Zhou chose to spread deliberate and malicious untruths - at worst he’s guilty of defamatory libel, at best he’ s grossly incompetent and unfit for the job. He issued a non apology in English media has he posted a retraction on WeChat? No

@thebaddestpitt From Little Red Book to WeChat, inaccurate and intentionally framed content has been circulating for years. This isn’t about one individual. That’s why, as a society, we all need to be more vigilant and prioritize verified information across all language platforms.

For muni election, we must confront a larger issue: misinformation across language platforms. Language diverse voters need accurate information. Exploiting translation gaps or cultural trust erodes public confidence. Integrity must be the standard for anyone seeking public office

Vancouver Councillors Bligh, Fry, Orr and Maloney say a video shared on Chinese social media by Councillor Lenny Zhou characterizes non-ABC councillors as drug users and drug dealers #vanpoli

@parksboardfacts @COPEVancouver @seanorr As a city government we have invested a significant amount of capacity and capital into the success of FIFA World Cup in Vancouver - if that is put at risk of boycott, protest, or disruption because ICE are deployed for security in our city it is very much our lane.

The beautiful game, used as a cover for deportation and breaking up families, while FIFA strokes Trump's ego with some symbolic prize. Please let's do something meaningfully symbolic and stand for Sanctuary & Access without Fear in Vancouver's FIFA plan hrw.org/news/2025/12/0…

Today, as Trump awarded new "FIFA Peace Prize" his militarized ICE agents are targeting football-loving racialized migrants Wednesday, I ask Vancouver to affirm our commitment to Sanctuary City: Access Without Fear as part of our FIFA Human Rights Plan. council.vancouver.ca/20251210/docum…

@jeremyomand1 The report clearly states to continue supporting the advisory committees through the year would cost $160,000. That’s the regularized budget for this work regardless of FIFA or volume of hearings. Corporate Services are being cut by $8m. They are reprioritizing existing resources

@PtFry It states in the report that it’s due to time demands of significant volume of public hearings referrals. You framing it as budget cutting is completely disingenuous, but the public has learned to expect that of you, Pete.

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

@geo_fed @kareemformayor George I don't want to harsh your buzz or anything, but the stats don't lie. In this country, over 40% of offences are a result of substance use, with alcohol responsible for the greatest proportion of crimes and majority of violence canada.ca/content/dam/cs…

@kareemformayor @PtFry @PtFry “most of the violence and disruption that happens on our streets is probably directly linked to Alcohol consumption” idiocy. money laundering is the means criminals use. the mayor will need to be, and i’ll be frank, a bit of an A-hole to force the province and feds 2 fix.

International drug cartels have taken over the streets of Vancouver. They are here for two reasons: 1) a lucrative drug market, and 2) weak money laundering rules. We will choke cartel profits by banning Bitcoin ATMs, closing currency exchanges, and replacing payday loan centres with organizations like Pigeon Park Savings.

@kareemformayor @geo_fed Thanks for the kind words Kareem, and you too George I consider your on-air comparison of me to Mamdani as high praise indeed even if that's not what you intended or the comparison isn't exact - I'll take it😉

@geo_fed @PtFry I guessed it was you. But wasn’t 100 percent sure. Glad it was. Thanks for the question. I hope to run into you on the campaign trail. Pete is person of great integrity but there are policy differences…. We don’t have to be in the same party for me to think highly of him.

@dannyg1080 @Infokid1Infokid By this👆🏽feeble logic, neither does Ken Sim. Danny needs help reading financial disclosures, which clearly say "Do not include your personal residence." Danny also fails to understand that anyone living or running a business in Vancouver pays taxes either directly or via landlord

@Infokid1Infokid @PtFry As far as his financial disclosures say, Pete is neither, so he doesn't pay anymore in municipal taxes than the person he is criticizing for not paying municipal taxes

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.
COPE: Coalition of Progressive Electors@COPEVancouver

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:

@KoorikiFox @serenetemper Speaking of kettling Mike, I get your stan for Sim is rooted in the PTSD from the 2021 encampment in our neighbourhood, but ask your ABC friends about their plans for moving the SROs from Granville - you are being conned.

@serenetemper @PtFry The previous 'plan' was also flawed because of previous councils opted to take on the burden single handedly. I support socioeconomic *mixed* housing, not kettling into disorder hotspots/towers. There are no moderate/pragmatic discussions from any candidates on this currently

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.
Mayor Ken Sim@KenSimCity

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.

@KenSimCity We don't share values, and I don't trust your prioritizing of any revenues from selling off public land. But thanks for the blue check ad Ken, here's my counterpoint: @ptfry/video/7564082822160321793" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@ptfry/video/7…

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,”

B/c neither the Integrity Commissioner nor Council can mete punishment or sanction for ABC’s transgressions (underscoring futility of huge taxpayer-funded legal bill), the Province are promising to step in and my colleagues and I resolve to strengthen Code vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

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 vancitylookout.com/p/abc-party-fo…
