IN 2022, KEN SIM AND ABC WERE ELECTED BY LESS THAN 20% OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS.

THE ONLY WAY KEN SIM AND ABC CAN WIN IS IF TURNOUT IS LOW.

BRING FRIENDS AND VOTE TODAY.

Ken Sim was elected in 2022 with less than 20% of eligible voters voting for him, because turnout was so low. The way we beat him and ABC is by bringing our friends with us, reminding people to vote, and boosting turnout. We can do it.

@copevancouver.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 3:39 AM

You can vote at any polling station in the city. There are over 50!

@copevancouver.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 3:34 AM

Tomorrow is advance voting day. Which polling station are you gonna vote at? What time of day? How many friends can you bring with you?

Today, the Vancouver Police Department issued a release saying "when it comes to the perception of public safety, the facts matter." In 2020, when the crime rate in the city was down, Vancouver Police Department Chief Adam Palmer argued that feelings mattered as much as facts.

Latest howler from Vancouver’s hapless mayor Ken Sim:
Asked why ABC didn’t do more during their FOUR YEARS in power, Sim replied: “We’re still learning the ropes.”
What a joke. Vancouver deserves so much better.

Vancouver deserves better than this petty Trump style smear campaign. A bunch of AI edited screenshots? Blog posts from 2008? Can’t attack my policies as a councillor? Pathetic.

COPE stands with the IUOE Local 963 workers.

IN SOLIDARITY WITH IUOE LOCAL 963
COPE stands with the IUOE Local 963 workers following a 96.9% vote in favour of a strike if necessary, as negotiations with Vancouver School Board management have stalled due to management’s concession demands.

These workers keep our schools safe and clean, our students well fed, and supervised during recess and lunch time.

The union's demands are simple: ensuring trained workers serve our kids and our schools, job security for those workers, and the safety and quality of their working conditions. 

The School Board is trying to undermine the required qualifications of trade certifications for power engineers for our schools, devalue their jobs, and lower their wages. Our power engineers are qualified, let's keep it that way. 

Food workers are facing job insecurity due to a funding model that relies on grants and donations, rather than funding from the School Board. Let us be clear, city staff should never have to rely on donations to maintain their jobs. COPE believes our cafeterias and meal programs should be funded by the School Board, not by unpredictable goodwill donations.  

COPE knows it's possible to fully fund these programs – these workers can have job security and kids can count on hot meals at school. COPE school board trustee Suzie Mah fought for 4 years for more stable funding for these programs. 

COPE always stands on the side of workers, and COPE’s Candidates for School Board trustee will always stand with union workers at the VSB.
