1/ Over the 2 years, I had the great honour of serving on @VPL's board. A few days ago, my service ended abruptly. Vancouver city council kicked me off the board and replaced me with a political crony. This never happens. City councils usually reappoint sitting trustees. #vanpoli

if you own a $2m home, a “punishing” 9% property tax increase would be $485/year.
if you rent an average 1-bedroom for $2,800, the 2% allowable rent for 2023 increase is $672/year.
As Vancouver seeks to avoid years of punishing property tax increases, councillors are now looking at fee hikes for everything from parking permits to business licences to the cost of owning a pet.

Warning:
Don't watch this at work Or you'll be a blubbery mess like me having to explain to clients why you're a blubbery mess.
Thanks for this @jonchiang!

The province gave 5.5 million for expanded food programs. ABC in fact voted to reduce that expansion by almost 2 mill. This is not something to brag about.
Facts and for the record
ABC led Trustees voted to expand the children's food program by $3.77m for the coming 2023/2024 school year. @OneCityVan and @COPEVancouver voted against it.

Yesterday mayor @KenSimCity said, verbatim, "We have a full bike lane on 10th Avenue."
I rode 10th yesterday and couldn't find it, can someone point it out? Is it underground?
ALT 10th Ave bikeway in Vancouver. A narrow street with cars on parked on both sides; in the distance, a car takes up nearly the entire road.

“According to ICBC data, under the status quo, a cyclist is hit every two days between 4th and 16th. Thanks to today’s vote by ABC, that status quo will continue.” onecityvancouver.ca/abc_kill…

Linkin Park songs are starting to hit different the older I get. Why did I almost have an emotional breakdown in the middle of Whole Foods when they started playing "Numb" 😩

I wrote about how lazy narratives in media coverage of cultural appropriation scandals end up peddling the same reductive clichés they condemn.
Congee Karen's sin was not putting blueberries in congee as a white lady, it's her raging racism.
