ABC was handed a rare, golden opportunity after being elected in 2022, securing the mayoralty alongside majorities across city council, the park board, and the school board. Did they act decisively to reform City Hall? Did they establish themselves as an enduring political force in Vancouver alongside the likes of COPE? No, they did nothing of the sort. Instead, they alienated affable figures like Pete Fry and inadvertently helped cement Sean Orr’s status as a cult figure. Making enemies is not a viable strategy for governance.

I would not be where I am today without @Margare7a. Very proud of her, and am thrilled that downtown Vancouver is blue. Surreal in the best way.
Vancouver-Yaletown MLA-elect Margareta Dovgal says she’s “feeling incredible” after flipping her riding blue: “This isn’t about me — this is about all the people who voted for change.”

Big congratulations to @Margare7a on winning her seat tonight. Not just an advocate for resource industries, but someone who gets that for many workers and communities, it's how they lift themselves up.

David Eby spent his entire adult life advocating for the drug chaos of Vancouver’s east side. No one has ever deserved to be de-elected more than him.

The @bcndp tried to pull a fast one, and we tore them to pieces. Congrats to the lads who worked towards this from Day 1, they deserve it in ways you can only imagine.

The silver skies above the green grass and trees. I love British Columbia, and a new lease on life for our province is coming.

My hot take de jour: Elected school boards are really a terrible idea, both unnecessary and very bad for education. In much the same way that elected judges are bad for justice.

Vancouver-Yaletown, we’ve built something special together. Tomorrow, from 8:00AM-8:00PM, you get the final say! Make a plan, bring a friend, and let’s finish what we started. Vote for a brighter future for British Columbia. ✅ Vote @Conservative_BC

The NDP are down in Metro Vancouver. They could once rely on workers across the province, but no longer. Will the NDP regret putting all their eggs in one basket? My latest for @BeatNorthern
