ABC lackeys feigning disappointment w/ 8sec gotcha from 1 hour meeting - yet couldn't answer basic questions on law/jurisdiction, explain $500k cost, meet a reasonable standards of notice/evidence, and cut me off from comment on their non-binding, performative election stunt 😐

Disappointing to see councillors from the Greens, COPE & Vote Vancouver walk out of the special council meeting today instead of voting for or against adding a ballot question on stronger enforcement against open-air, hard drug use in Vancouver. #vanpoli

But where is Sim? Not in chambers. Last seen stateside and hasn't been attending these marathon hearings.

At tonight’s public hearing, there were numerous individuals obstructing Council business. It is clear that this is foreign interference. Only those affected by land use decisions should speak before Council, not those calling in from Southern California.

We will be reporting this immediately to the appropriate authorities for a proper investigation.

I have organized an emergency meeting with the City Manager, VPD Chief Steve Rai and other relevant officials to discuss immediate actions to protect our democratic institutions.

Foreign interference bad.

Ken Sim and ABC just pulled a no-notice special urgent meeting to approve nearly $5m to keep the Granville Street Fan zone going for seven weeks after FIFA. While we love the FIFA fan zone, what’s the plan to sustain the vibes after FIFA has packed up and gone?
