@hanoomansingh.comReposted by @derrickokeefe.bsky.socialOnly 36% of eligible voters cast a ballot in the 2022 #VanPoli election… which means your vote counts even more than you think!
In a city of roughly 680k people, a candidate can be elected with as few as 37k votes. Every vote counts, please get out there and do it!
@copevancouver.bsky.socialReposted by @derrickokeefe.bsky.social🚨🗳️Today is the final day of advance voting.
Ken Sim and ABC can only win if there's a low voter turnout.

@jakemgrumbach.bsky.socialReposted by @derrickokeefe.bsky.socialNew working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment.
@derrickokeefe.bsky.social6. We'll prioritize funding classroom needs and reverse ABC cuts to programs that provide support to vulnerable students like the safe and caring schools program.
@derrickokeefe.bsky.social5. We'll fight for more investment in school meal programs and push the City & higher levels of govt to partner to deliver universal school meals in Vancouver.
They're doing it in Toronto, we can do it here!

@derrickokeefe.bsky.social4. We'll fight to extend free transit for kids up to 12 all the way up to 18 yrs of age. This is win-win-win policy: reduces congestion, reduces pollution, saves families money, and helps creates life-long transit riders. Washington State has had this for years. Time for us to catch up.
