Vancouver City Council finally doing something for neighbourhoods! Kudos to Councillor @PtFry for championing 30 kph driver speeds in residential areas, making local streets safer, easier to use, and accessible to all road users, not just vehicle drivers. https://t.co/HgG8xW2YWW

Thanks to London’s bold action, almost 10 million people are now breathing cleaner air. That means fewer children will grow up with stunted lungs and fewer people will have to suffer from asthma, dementia and heart disease.

Current ABC majority of council and Mayor SIM can no longer erase century old park board, one of last in Canada with no public consultation. This is a reprimand for this regime’s autocratic running Vancouver as their own business instead of social compact with the community.

NEW - BC will require Vancouver to hold a referendum before allowing it to scrap the park board. Part of new legislation introduced just now by the @Dave_Eby government.

Did you know that the mayor of Vancouver, Mr. Sim has private use of $1.2 million of taxpayer money for his own staff? Here’s the first place to cut.

Just imagine how much more expensive the tickets would have to be if we weren’t subsidizing FIFA. And thank goodness Mayor Ken Sim & City Manager Donny van Dyk will figure out where to slash City costs so property taxes don’t go up.

City of Vancouver Mayor and Council appear to be in developer's pocket-no consultation with public on Broadway Plan for no more public hearings! Tenants & owners won't have feedback! Where was the consultation with public?It was by ambiguous postcards! Developer run city hall.

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing. The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI. This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

If you don’t like speed cameras as a driver, it’s because you are part of the problem. Slowing driver, speed to post a speed limits, saves lives.
