By a more than 4-to-1 margin, residents of Vancouver preferred a tax rate that maintained public services to ABC's reckless 0% tax gimmick.

Ken Sim has no mandate to make these brutal cuts.

ABC has no mandate to impose austerity.

The City's own Budget survey showed people overwhelmingly prefer tax rates that maintain public services.

Big cuts are coming to Vancouver City Hall. Will they be 'reckless' or the cost-saving efficiency Ken Sim has long promised? ABC Vancouver is looking to cut about $100 million from the city’s operating budget, and potentially hundreds of jobs, in search of savings.

"We have to resist ABC’s austerity budget that cuts staff and public services as a cheap election gimmick." - City Councillor @seanorr.bsky.social
