@davidebybc.bsky.social I've got a big problem with 1) US flag at BC Place, and 2) Hanging at the same level as Canada. Please instruct staff to remove immediately @bcplacestadium.bsky.social @bcplace.bsky.social

I'm so excited that @lucymaloney.bsky.social is running for Vancouver city council with @onecityvan.bsky.social! She’s been a tireless advocate for safer streets, affordable housing, and caring for our most vulnerable. She’s also just a lovely human being. Let’s get her elected!

Other cities have been following Paris’ lead, working on significantly raising parking rates for big SUVs & pick-up trucks. Can exempt for accessibility.

4 parking spots = 1 bed condo. In Vancouver, that will cost you $0.8-1.0MM. So when will the City start selling on-street parking spots for $250K each? #noMoreFreeParking globalnews.ca/news/1028493...
