Mayor announces intent to ask province for a review of policing in BC. He rightly points out that the BC Police Act and appointed board ties City's hands. There's a bigger conversation that needs to happen with province too. Not just the Police Act -but who and why we police 👇🏽

This is a disgraceful attack on democracy @KenSimCity and Council ABC colleagues have abandoned democracy The complete lack of consultation and rush to eliminate @ParkBoard without a plan is a stain on our great city and you will be judged by history as failing democracy #VanPoli

Everyone deserves to feel safe in #Vancouver . Period. Whether its funds to tackle crime or expand complex mental health and addictions care. From improving equity in policing to fighting hate. I'm working to make our city safer for all of us. #vanpoli

In a 6-5 vote, Vancouver City Council has approved spending up to $1 per resident (~$700,000) in 2023 on financing a class action lawsuit against "Big Oil." The idea is that oil companies will pay for City costs incurred by climate change. #vanpoli

John Horgan’s brusque dismissal of Alaska’s cruise industry proposal has come back to haunt him, his government, and BC’s bedraggled tourism sector. But as @RobShaw_BC notes, it’s still not clear the Premier realizes he’s in deep water. #bcpoli

“Surrey's new police force is poaching VPD officers at a concerning rate” I don’t believe loss officers is just about opportunity to live closer to home or promotion. Policing in Vancouver is hard. And I don’t think officers feel supported by Council.
