Ken Sim is awful, but Brian Montague might be the worst human on Vancouver City Council. Everything he does is aimed at increasing fossil fuels, evicting renters, or brutalizing homeless people and drug users. Let's toss him aside next election

Cool way to apply your research, & solid reporting/poking around from The Tyee. Jim Pattison's well-known hospital philanthropy (from resource extraction & exploiting low-wage labour) is countered by complicity in helping right-wing Christian groups push back on a woman's right to personal health.
