On the CBCEarlyEdition, Mayor Ken Sim said: “Stephen, let me ask you a different question. Can you name a government anywhere that is so efficient it cannot find a couple of percent in savings?” Because in Vancouver, Mayor Ken Sim and the ABC Majority are doing exactly what residents...

Mayor Ken Sim and ABC took office with a clear mandate: restore safety in the DTES. We decamped East Hastings, invested in frontline public safety and mental health services, and revitalized Chinatown and Gastown. Today, shoppers are back, streets and public spaces are safer, and violent crime is at its lowest in 23 years. We’ve made real progress — but we can’t go backwards. Public safety is the foundation of a city that works. #vanpoli

At this week's Budget 2026 Council meeting, Mayor Ken Sim asked: “Families across Vancouver are really feeling the pinch of rising costs… what does a 0% property tax increase mean in the context of providing meaningful relief?” Staff confirm it means real relief. By bringing down property taxes from the projected 6–7% to 0%, residents and businesses will see tangible, reduced costs. ABC has a plan to make Vancouver more affordable. To learn more:

Ken Sim and ABC are skipping debates because they're afraid of Sean Orr and COPE. They're afraid of the public. They're afraid of accountability. Ken Sim isn't curious. He doesn't even want to be mayor. On April 5th, let's start that process. Next year, lets finish the job.

Ken Sim didn’t just try to get rid of the Park Board. He defunded it. When Gregor Robertson was mayor, parks were 16.5% of the city budget; today it’s 7.9%. Ken Sim has also defunded the assets. His plan is $400 million for pools, community centres and field upgrades over the next 4 years. Our plan is $1.4 billion. Vancouver Liberals will find the difference by cancelling Ken Sim’s $800 million second city hall project. Together we can.

🚨 BOOM! Ken Griffin is dropping a REALITY CHECK on Ugandan Mayor Zohran Mamdani: He's prepared to DROP a $6 billion investment project out of NYC and move it to a red state instead NYC is hemorrhaging tax dollars and MORE rich people are set to flee with their investments! The communist is ruining everything. "Didn't sit well with Ken Griffin who said, hey, listen, not so smart. Somebody just got killed just a few blocks away from my apartment. Do not put, you know, a target on me." "The other thing he said to the mayor was, I got a $6 billion project that I'm working on in New York City on Park Avenue. And you know what? I'll stop it right now. Yeah, go somewhere else." "And he already said that he's investing more in Miami as we speak!"

Former Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart is alleging there is a B.C. cabinet minister under investigation for collaborating with the Chinese government. Kenney, a former NDP MP, also alleges the current Mayor of Vancouver, Ken Sim, worked with the CCP to win the mayoral race. David Eby denies the allegations and swears he would act if it were true. The BC NDP only have a one seat majority government. It's quite possible David Eby is lying because it would put his government in a far tougher political situation, if he were to act.

Today, Chief Constable Adam Palmer joined Vancouver Mayor Mayor Ken Sim and other community leaders from throughout Metro #Vancouver and issued an urgent call to action to address public safety, mental health, and addictions. “We serve this city with great compassion for our most vulnerable, but it is not compassionate to allow people who pose a serious and immediate danger to themselves and others to wander our streets with serious and untreated mental health disorders.” Hear more from #VPD @ChiefPalmer.

Today was an incredibly important day for Vancouver. Mayor Ken Sim and your ABC Vancouver team moved forward a public safety plebiscite that will give YOU a voice on October 17th, and the opportunity to vote for tangible change in our city. Tangible change in how we enforce open-air hard drug use in our shared public spaces. And tangible change in how healthcare is delivered to people suffering from severe mental health and addiction disorders, getting people the real medical care they need, breaking the revolving door of crisis, and easing pressure on our emergency rooms. Unfortunately, Councillors Sean Orr, Pete Fry and Rebecca Bligh chose to walk out of the Council meeting rather than participate in the vote. They didn’t abstain. They didn’t vote no. They walked out. That’s disappointing. They were elected to represent Vancouverites. That means listening to the full debate, participating in the democratic process, and casting a vote — even when the issue is difficult or you disagree. Mayor Sim and your ABC Vancouver team chose a different path. We stayed. We listened. We debated. We voted. And now Vancouverites will have their say. We believe there is a strong majority of people in this city who have felt unable to speak up about what they see happening in their neighbourhoods and who know the status quo isn’t working. On October 17th, their voices will be heard. Now we have an opportunity to seize that future together, to re-establish social expectations around hard drug use in our shared public spaces and get people suffering from severe mental health and addiction disorders the real help they need. This is your city. This is your voice. And now, this is your choice. #ABCVancouver #PublicSafety #Vancouver

SHOULD GOVERNMENT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE PRIVATE PROPERTY? “People are waking up to the fact that the asset seizure tax is an elimination of private property rights, that fundamentally what you're saying [is] that private property now becomes public property. Because as soon as you give the government the right to collect your post-tax assets through a legislative vote, you are basically saying that you no longer have private property — because at any point in the future the government can vote to say I'm going to take your private property — which is different than an income tax. [An income tax] is when you earn something that you didn't have before, and they take a percentage of your earnings (of your income). The statement now is after you've made your income (it's now your private property) — they can come and take it. And so that is a distinction that has never existed in the United States. And I will make the retort right now to property tax, because people always say to me: ‘what about property tax?’ A property tax is a service fee on a particular, specific asset. The money that is collected provides services for that asset to make it more valuable. So you get roads, infrastructure, policing, fire, schools… All the stuff that comes with property tax makes that property [more valuable]. And you have the option at any point you want to sell that property and stop paying that property tax. You have the option at any point to downgrade your property and get a cheaper property and pay [a lower tax]. And here's the other important point about property tax: it’s uniform. Uniform means that everyone pays the same percentage, the same property tax rate in a county. This asset seizure tax that's being proposed is a demographic tax — meaning that the state or the legislature defines a specific group of individuals (in this case, they're saying anyone with a net worth over a billion dollars) and then they can go and take assets from only that group. That is nonuniform taxation. It means that for the first time we're saying based on the demographics of a person meaning whatever you want to use to define that person (in this case their wealth) — you are going to be treated differently. And that is different than an income tax, because remember when you have graduated income tax rates (and you say high earners get taxed more) — what you're taxing is the earnings, not the individual. You're not looking through to the individual to determine whether or not they're wealthy. All you're doing is looking at the independent earnings amount that's coming in. And so a uniformity clause is supposed to protect people from being demographically discriminated against. And you may roll your hand and be like: ‘Oh, who cares about the billionaires? Eat the rich. That's great.’ But fundamentally, you're giving the government, the legislature, the ability to in the future take any demographic definition they want and go in and take any percentage they want of after-tax property from you. That is why this is so troubling.” david friedberg The All-In Podcast

🚨 IT’S DOXING New York’s socialist mayor didn’t just pass a tax on second homes. He curated a public list with names, addresses, and property values, making it easy for anyone to find who owns what. Many on the list are retired people in their 80s. Jonathan Turley and others are calling it what it is: class warfare. Standing outside Ken Griffin’s place and targeting the successful while the city bleeds tax revenue and jobs isn’t “fairness.” It’s a warning to anyone who’s built something.

BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani just announced COGE (Commission of Government Efficiency) and he takes a shot at Elon Musk in the process. "COGE, COGE, yes. Now, Elon Musk manipulated the fact that so many people across this country want to see a government that is more efficient. He used that as a justification to simply slash and burn so much of the services that Americans rely on. What we are speaking about is a sincere fulfillment of a vision that ensures that city government is operating with the same level of focus that a working class New Yorker is when they're trying to balance their bills. And that means looking at the processes we have, that means looking at the procedures of city government, and that means looking at anything we can do to deliver a more efficient and more excellent government... It's just the name and what it should have been. I think government efficiency, these are words that somehow have been understood as if they are Republican priorities when in fact they are the priorities of anyone who believes in the public sector. And yet Elon Musk took that language and used it to cut as many jobs that were as critical as possible for so many of the neediest people across the country and across the world. Ours is going to be a focus on actually delivering efficiency, not as a byword for cutting services, but actually a sincere commitment to efficiency."

🚨 NOW: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis drops the ULTIMATE TRUTH NUKE on Ugandan NYC Mayor Mamdani "All he wants to do is help people 'afford housing?' Well, if THAT'S the case, why did he propose the biggest property tax increase in the HISTORY of New York City?!" "It would have raised property taxes on 3 MILLION people, including cops and firefighters and nurses." "And so the idea that he's just out to kind of help people afford housing. No, he's out to push a Marxist agenda. He's a leftist. That's what they do." "And look, when you go in front of somebody's house [Ken Griffin] and try to surveil that and put that out to the world in the hopes — I believe they were trying to rile people up to maybe do something even worse!" "Of course, you're going to want to run from that area and you're going to want to embrace Florida." "So I'm not surprised that they're doing that and obviously we'll just keep doing the job that we're doing down here."
