B.C. Conservative MLA Hon Chan charged with assault, choking, kicked out of caucus | CBC News The MLA for Richmond Centre has been charged with assault, assault by choking and uttering threats, the B.C. Prosecution Service announced Thursday.

Intimate partner violence is an epidemic. To see an elected member of the Legislature charged with it is horrific.

To all survivors, we stand with you.

To Hon Chan, resign.

Vancouver deserves better than Sim’s lies The readiness of Mayor Ken Sim and Coun. Lenny Zhou to slander a colleague is far worse than any harebrained policy they might propose or past controversial decisions they have made.

Politicians like Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and Coun. Lenny Zhou who spread lies about a colleague for political gain undermine trust in our political system. They don't deserve our respect or votes, @adriennetanner.bsky.social writes.

'If ABC agrees': Urgent motion proposes to save Vancouver Car Free Days | Urbanized In the wake of the revelation that Car Free Days would be cancelled in Vancouver this year, two councillors are hoping to save it.

“COPE warned that Ken Sim’s jacked-up permit fees are going to make community events more expensive - or stop them from happening at all. This is the impact of austerity."

Save Car Free Days!

This isn’t just a mistake an apology to @seanorr.bsky.social can fix. This is opens up the city to huge liability.

What other decisions has Ken Sim made that we now need to question the source and reliability of them?

‘Embarrassing’: Vancouver councillor calls out mayor over drugs comment controversy - BC | Globalnews.ca Ken Sim told Chinese-speaking reporters that Coun. Sean Orr handed out illegal drugs on Christmas Day, audio of which was shared with Global News by The Canadian Press.

"This makes Vancouver look bad. This makes us look like a not serious city. It’s embarrassing, I’m embarrassed on his behalf for this." - @seanorr.bsky.social

Worth noting that on a different website, multiple ABC Vancouver officials follow accounts that post constantly about how Sean Orr is a terrible human being and make all sorts of unproven claims, including one account that creates AI videos of Orr doing all sorts of illegal or evil acts

This isn't the first time that Ken Sim has been involved in a smear campaign against @seanorr.bsky.social. Sean's interview is worth a listen - for its honesty, grace, and concern for the public who are harmed by Sim's dirty tricks

IMO we need more humanity like Sean's in politics. Solidarity.

In an interview this week, Ken Sim said that he had a list of all the times he said no to the Vancouver Police Department, and said a lot of their budget increases were out of the city's control.

We got the list. We looked at the budget.

Here is a fact check.

The headwaters of the St George Rainway. An actual current with riffles this morning, flexing the stems of the aquatic plants & bringing the sound of running water. This all-seasons park is the best thing COV's added to the neighborhood in my time here (25.5 yrs!)

Anyone who cares about Vancouver, whether you share Sean’s politics or not, should read through his multiple threads of citizens’ statements; folks range widely in age and income bracket but not in sentiment. ABC passing this budget will alienate the entire city.

ZERO MANDATE PEOPLE POWER SAYS NO TO ABC CUTS

People Power showed up at City Hall.

And this is just the beginning. 360+ still on list to present.

Every single ABC Councillor should be doing some soul searching about what they've heard so far. Do the right thing. Stop these cuts.

Vancouver doesn't have to be this way.
