A huge congratulations to @mayoroliviachow.ca and the incredible slate of progressive councillors elected in Toronto tonight.

Congratulations to Toronto @mayoroliviachow.ca on her re-election tonight. Given Doug Ford’s constant interference & distractions, Toronto is arguably the hardest city in Canada to be the mayor of. I’m hopeful that in her first FULL term, Mayor Chow will lean in on more bold, creative city-building.

Not great, Bob!

Thank you Iona, Jarrett, Frances, and Caitlin. You are all some of the most experienced, hardworking people in the city, and you ran a campaign that was authentic, rooted in the belief that City Hall can be more. Your voices and your ideas have made this party, and this election, better.

It would be an excellent thing for Vancouver if Iona Bonamis, Lucy Maloney and Caitlin Stockwell were all elected to council tomorrow - this video does a great job of explaining why.

There's less than three hours for you to get out the vote, Vancouver. On your way home, out for dinner, or for evening plans, make sure you stop in at a voting place, and tell your friends to, too. www.vancouver.ca/vote

Polls are OPEN, Vancouver! Don't miss your opportunity to change your life. Bring your friends and neighbours, tell your community, VOTE. www.onecityvancouver.ca/vote

Our Candidates have been endorsed by public figures from labour, arts, climate, schools, federal and provincial governments, academia, and Indigenous advocacy. Today is your last chance for early voting. Whoever you vote for mayor, make sure OneCity is on your ballot for a more affordable city.

Last chance to vote early is today, 8am - 8pm! Election Day is on Saturday 🗳️

As you’re voting for Vancouver city council, no matter who else you vote for, I encourage you to vote for @fabulavancouver.bsky.social. Most candidates underestimate the massive learning curve that comes AFTER winning. Frances has been smartly engaged with, & communicating, urban issues for decades.

We’re in a critical moment in Vancouver city-building and governance, and this Vancouver municipal election feels particularly important. I support progressive voices, including @ptfry.bsky.social for mayor, & @lucymaloney.bsky.social @fabulavancouver.bsky.social @ionabonamis.bsky.social & OneCity.

Caitlin Stockwell thinks you should be able to ask your city for more. We can and should support young people, seniors, families, artists, and workers to find a voice, a place, and a future in Vancouver. Vote for Caitlin and the whole OneCity team TODAY until 8pm. www.onecityvancouver.ca/vote

Tyler Petersen wants you to have more third spaces in Vancouver. Places outside home or work where you can just be. Our Parks and Community Centres can be at the core of that revival. Vote for Tyler and the whole OneCity team on Tuesday, Oct 13 or Saturday, Oct 17. www.onecityvancouver.ca/vote

Krista Sigurdson wants to build childcare on school grounds, so you don't have to drive across town to get your kid a childcare spot. It's not impossible, it just takes the team with the experience and the drive to make it happen.

We’re at it again today Vancouver! Do the thing today if you haven’t yet 🗳️🗳️🗳️

mark knows this is not how polls work but mark is also legally banned from running in local elections this year life is a rich tapestry, and the closer one gets to an election, the more spinners spin

Iona hates traffic. On City Council, she'll fix it. Early voting in Vancouver's local elections is on TODAY, 8am-8pm. And you can vote for Iona Bonamis 陶思穎, and elect an honest to goodness transportation planner to City Council. Ken Sim probably voted early. Will you?

Early Voting Round 2 Electric Bugaloo! You can vote TODAY 8am-8pm at any polling location in the city. 21,824 Vancouverites voted early last Saturday. Find you nearest polling location *today* so you can be voter 21,825.

Since @cityofvancouver.bsky.social doesn’t post on Bluesky, here’s their update on voter turnout yesterday! Almost 22,000 people turned out 🗳️

Great to vote with and for the OneCity team this morning! Early voting is on and you can vote at any voting location 8am - 8pm.

VOTING IS ON! Today is the *first* day of Early Voting across the City! What if you voted today? Like right now? At any location from 8am-8pm. And take this handy-dandy voting card with you.

Commute got you down? We can fix that. OneCity Candidate Iona Bonamis 陶思穎 outlines Project Greenlight, which could save you weeks of your life in traffic. If you want City Hall to help you get you where you're going faster, volunteer, donate, and VOTE OneCity. #transit #vanpoli

I was very young when people could still smoke indoors in Vancouver. But I distinctly remember people smoking inside Granville Island Public Market as a kid 🤯

Words of encouragement for candidates and campaigners in BC this month 🫶

Chinatown Plaza is owned by the City of Vancouver. It sits nearly empty in the heart of a National Historic Site. Today OneCity is announcing our latest policy to Revitalize Chinatown Plaza, because Chinatown deserves a thriving cultural hub.

There will be TWO elections this October, and we hope transit riders vote in both of them! It can be confusing to figure out which level of government is responsible for what (especially when candidates make promises they can’t follow through on).

We think co-ops are pretty cool, actually. OneCity will make it possible to build more of them and keep the ones we already have. On October 17th, you can elect OneCity's beloved Co-op King 👑 Jarrett Hagglund to City Council.

Do you live in Vancouver, do you want a home of your own? What about just the dignity of renting without the fear of eviction? OneCity has a team and a plan for that, The Way Home & Housing for All www.onecityvancouver.ca/news/housing... #VanPoli

This October, we can build a city that belongs to everyone. Lucy Maloney is running for re-election to City Council to fight for your right, and your family's right, to live a good life in Vancouver.

Yeah. It’s a privilege to get to vote for Frances Bula. Like her expertise on a public servant salary is a complete steal!!!

Programming note for today: we'll have a live special for today's snap election call, starting at noon. I'll be in our Vancouver studio, while @katiederosa.bsky.social will be at Government House in Victoria. Our live page is already up, and we'll be adding to it all day.

Your OneCity Team with a plan to deliver you a voice, a place, and a future in Vancouver. Meet them all 👉 www.onecityvancouver.ca/about

When we fight, we win! Congratulations to City Council Candidate @ionabonamis.bsky.social 陶思穎 and School Board Candidate Christopher Lee 李基鵬 on their historic victory in court today. The judge ruled they can use their full names — English and Chinese — on the ballot this October.

More of Veronica O. Davis’s wisdom and probably a few truth bombs are coming our way on September 28! Join us for a timely conversation about bravery, accountability and the voices too often left out of the room. It’s also a much-needed fundraiser for Movement. www.zeffy.com/en-CA/...

Main Street Car Free Day nearly got cancelled this year. @lucymaloneyvancouver helped save it with an urgent motion at council. Today, on that same street, OneCity is announcing Connect Vancouver: our action plan to ensure every neighbourhood gets a real choice in how they get around.

It's official! Our 13 Candidates across City Council, School Board, and Park Board have submitted their papers to be on your ballot on October 17! We've got the team with the plan to build a more affordable, safe, and vibrant city for everyone.

Today on the radio @lisadominato.bsky.social claimed ABC passed the "entire Vision Zero action plan." She must be forgetting the part where they ripped out speed reductions (#1 cause of deadly crashes) on select high pedestrian arterials (#1 location of deadly crashes).

Keep an eye out for this bike!

The OneCity Community Campaign Hub is open! 📍 2607 Main Street 🕦 Daily Office Hours begin Tuesday the 8th And heavy shoutout to Benzonn for bringing down the house!

If you vote for @onecityvan.bsky.social we can have more places like Arbutus Coffee!
