I think that it’s possible and desirable to remake society into a democratic and ecological one where the masses control their own destiny and are not ruled over by the rich and powerful

@brianlilley Cowardly stuff. Let indigenous comedians cook

BREAKING: CBC hits pause on that controversial “satirical” show that targeted Mounties and conservatives for humiliation. Read details here. torontosun.com/opinion/column…

Permitting delays used to drive up housing costs and slow down new homes. Today, houses, duplexes, and laneways can be approved in as little as 2.5 weeks — down from 11+ weeks. 3-3-3-1 permits. ePlan. 83,000 home approvals by 2033. And the results matter: Vancouver rents are down 19.4% from the September 2023 peak. More homes, faster approvals, lower rents. More work ahead, but real progress. 🏗️

@SelinaMRobinson There was polling of jewish people in Vancouver that would vindicate Sim abusing his power of office to harrass a fellow council member? Cool.

Let me get this straight … when most Jews in the city experience Orr’s comments as Jew hatred but he claims ‘context’ and when it is suggested that he crossed the line. Orr never acknowledges his impact on the Jews he represents and someone else is harassing him- what a joke.

@wrong_shon @bnaibrithcanada @KenSimCity how's your crypto portfolio hypocrite?

The City of Vancouver Integrity Commissioner has sent a chilling message. Call out antisemitic rhetoric and you may be punished, while the conduct itself escapes accountability. Mayor @KenSimCity bravely called out Councillor Sean Orr’s antisemitic social media posts and his participation in a protest connected to Al-Awda, a group associated with Samidoun, a listed terrorist entity. For that, Mayor Sim was found to have violated the Code of Conduct. Yet B’nai Brith Canada’s complaint about Councillor Orr’s own reprehensible conduct was dismissed. That is an outrageous double standard. At a time of surging antisemitism, public officials should be expected to confront hate, not penalized for naming it. Councillor Orr has still not been held accountable. B’nai Brith Canada stands with Mayor Sim and thanks him for his leadership, moral clarity and continued support for Vancouver’s Jewish community.

@AvgSizedHead @seanorr

@seanorr Correct, the vast majority of renters are paying significantly less since they are in older buildings where rents a less (and are also dropping). Why do you make such efforts to convince people to feel miserable? Not leadership material.

Remember folks this is just asking rents. The decline in asking rents, as averaged from rentals.com is concentrated in newer, higher-priced buildings. These figures do not reflect what the vast majority of renters in Vancouver are actually paying.

@VanCityVice @bnaibrithcanada @KenSimCity Did you get ChatGPT to write this? It reads as an inhuman attempt at comedy

@wrong_shon @bnaibrithcanada @KenSimCity So you're out here explaining astral projection that you did after hitting some hard drugs. Did you at least get next week's lottery numbers on that psychic journey?

@VanCityVice @bnaibrithcanada @KenSimCity Sorry to hear about your heart attack mate

@wrong_shon @bnaibrithcanada @KenSimCity How does it feel knowing that the rich, the middle class, and low-income people all hate COPE’s guts?

@VanCityVice @bnaibrithcanada @KenSimCity the “comedy is legal” leaving a right wing chud’s body when they wanna “cancel culture” a leftist

@VanCityVice @bnaibrithcanada @KenSimCity Ironic comedy can play on dissonance between conflicting expectations. In this case the joke is how right wing people see themselves in NA vs. how they see right wingers abroad

My kid is telling me that she wants to touch the stove because she likes getting burned

“Every country, when faced with the horrors and the savagery of what Hamas perpetrated, would act to wipe out that threat to ensure that its civilians are safe from that threat in the future,” said Michael Mostyn, CEO of B'nai Brith Canada. “That is what Israel is doing."

!! The Integrity Commissioner for the City of Vancouver has found that Mayor Ken Sim did violate the Code of Conduct and did harass Councillor @seanorr. The report recommends Sim be sanctioned. Meanwhile Sean is shown to be blameless. #vanpoli vancouver.ca/files/cov/inte…

Too bad this council voted against increasing the Empty Homes Tax to fund affordable housing

@Tomatoninja2000 @paulgfinch Unfortunately, because of high construction and land costs, and the structure of an investor-led housing development system that demands returns for investors- developers put down their pencils when markets dip. The system is structured to drive rents up.

@Tomatoninja2000 @paulgfinch However, the federal government has undertaken a policy of restricting temporary students in the country by a drastic amount, which probably better accounts for the dip in rents compared to recent trends: dailyhive.com/canada/interna…

We've said this for over a decade, and we're seeing the final empirical defenestration of the YIMBY polemic against elasticity of demand: their claim that luxury supply will be picked up by local owners which will free up lower priced stock via "trickle down" demand.
