NWP's a hot mess on #TinyTown. They've no coherent position. They spin negative misinformation & blame the mayor for the project, but seemingly voted to approve it. This latest attempt to grandstand is a major self-own. IMHO it's irresponsible to treat peoples' right to shelter this way. (7/7)

Also: how can #NWP claim "Johnstone approved this project behind closed doors" if in-camera mtgs are secret? Who leaked the alleged approval? Was it really an approval? How can we know? (We can't). But now it seems Minhas & Fntaine voted for it. So why have NWP undermined #TinyTown ever since? (6/7)

Minhas' reasoning only makes sense if a unanimous vote to approve #TinyTown occurred in-camera. This would be strange give #NWP's claim that "Mayor Johnstone approved this project behind closed doors". But Minhas' objection only makes sense if Minhas & Fontaine voted in-camera FOR #TinyTown (5/7)

Know how #NWP blame #CommunityFirst for #TinyTown & claim "Mayor Johnstone approved this project behind closed doors"? Monday's Council video (from ~26:55 on) seems to show Cllr Minhas reveal that BOTH he & Cllr Fontaine voted *in*favor* of the #TinyTown project at that in-camera meeting. (1/7)

Map of the 1.9 km, 29 minute walk from the proposed transition housing site to Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary School.

“next to…an Elementary School,” Fulmer says? The nearest elementary Schools are a ~2km / ~30 minute walk from the proposed #TinyTown location. Hardly "next to" either school, and these schools aren't on any walking cycling route that can be expected from the proposed 502 20th street location (2/4)

Screenshot of a "Let's Vote" post depicting the text of a video statement by BC Conservative Leadership candidate Yari Fulmer, who gets an awful lot of things very wrong for someone who was once a University Chancellor.

Check out Yari Fulmer, BC Conservative leadership candidate, supported by Abbotsford MLA Bruce Banman & the Let's Vote people who protested the #NewWest #TinyTown open house, lying about the proposed transitional housing project. Making politics of homelessness is icky. Let's break it down (1/4)

Screenshot a video by Richmond Centre MLA Hon Chan, expressing his opposition to a transitional housing project for unhoused people in New Westminster. Hon was charged this week with assault / domestic violence and kicked out of the Conservative Caucus.

Oh my—just noticed that Let's Vote / Wallace Pong's "protest" outside the open house about the #NewWest #TinyTown transitional housing project featured a video from Richmond MLA Hon Chan, who was just charged with assault & booted from the Conservatives' caucus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjIt...

Thank you for sharing this, @fabulavancouver.bsky.social - it's valuable context for #NewWest as we develop our own, smaller, #tinytown. Note to readers - the article is a few months old, but this is one of many I've seen that are cause for optimism and hope. #HousingFirst #HousingForAll

Life support: B.C.'s supportive-housing system is overwhelmed and underfunded Those on the front lines say B.C.’s supportive-housing system simply doesn’t have the staff, the buildings or the supports required to make it work.

@jodypaterson.bsky.social's deep dive into BC's inadequate support for our unhousing crisis tells me @christineboyle.bsky.social & @davidebybc.bsky.social need to support MORE transitional housing like #TinyTown in #NewWest. #HousingForAll requires unpausing the #CommunityHousingFund & so much more.

Here's another article, from @timescolonist.bsky.social, reporting on a tour of Victoria's iteration of #TinyTown. Digging through reportage on the Victoria shelter reveals a lot of positive discourse around the project. I think the positives outweigh the negatives here, despite #NWP & #NIMBY lies.

I agree, @willryan.ca: NWP's dishonesty about the #NewWest #TinyTown shelter is reprehensible per se but also breaches their elected officials' fiduciary responsiblity to the city and their duty of care to its residents. Let's break this down re their recent FB post on the topic. [thread]

Sign the Petition Prevent BC Housing from building unsafe homeless shelters

Who in #NewWest is Marjan George? I'd like to ask them for evidence that "known criminals" will be part of BC Housing's #tinytown shelter project, as they wrote in this petition www.change.org/p/prevent-bc... (I'm only just now seeing how weird the AI pic is!)

I've been so excited about today's Tiny Town stream all week I've been dreaming about it five out of seven nights. Really excited to see what we get up to.

'What to Eat Now' nutritionist talks SNAP, food policy and the 'triple duty' diet Marion Nestle says we need to rethink how we eat. She recommends "real food, processed as little as possible, with a big emphasis on plants." Her new book is What to Eat Now.

Heard @marionnestle.bsky.social on the radio yesterday. Got to compliment her IRL on Lafayette today. #tinytown Great stuff: www.npr.org/2025/11/11/n...
