@spencerch.bsky.social why doesn't BC ban CryptoCurrency ATMs BC wide?
FINTRAC reported that cryptocurrency ATMs are commonly used to launder proceeds of crime, including money taken from vulnerable victims
In 2018 & 2019, VPD warned city council about the risks of Bitcoin ATMs #vanpoli #bcpoli
Sensible Vancouverites don't want Vancouver to be a "bitcoin friendly city". Why? Because more bitcoin = more crime, more fraud, more exploiting vulnerable populations.
Ken Sim thought bitcoin would "solve all our challenges" - how's that going 🤔
Here is what I’ve been saying about Bitcoin:

Here is what Ken Sim has bee saying:
Today Vancouver council is set to approve a staff recommendation to back away from their push to become a Bitcoin friendly city.
Here's my story about it, along with an extended montage about what Ken Sim has said about Bitcoin on various podcasts in the last two years.
Having a great IWD with my Vancouver Liberal Team 🌹🥖✊🏻
Happy International Women’s Day. Today our team joined the International Women’s Day March at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Proud to welcome @jessforvancouver.bsky.social to the Vancouver Liberals as she runs for Vancouver City Council in 2026.
Jessica has spent her life standing up for people to build stronger, inclusive communities.
Vancouver needs more voices like hers at City Hall.

Happy International Women’s Day 💜
Today we celebrate the women who lead, build, care, create, and strengthen our communities every single day.
Curious about the progressive options for Mayor in Vancouver? I caught up with Kareem Allam to ask him your questions directly. His answers, and part 2&3, can be found on my IG:

Here’s my story on Vancouver staff recommending that the city stop considering Ken Sim’s bitcoin dreams
I’m told there’s very little chance the mayor ends up “dying on this hill” as he promised last year

Dan Fumano: Despite silence from his ABC party leaders, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim still has key backers vancouversun.com/opinion/colu...
I joined @simisara730cknw.bsky.social to discuss issues in Vancouver.
Ken Sim hasn't apologized to Chinese community, despite saying he would. Everyday more questions than answers emerge.
Ken has lost the moral authority to lead & should resign.
Vancouver deserves better.

Big congratulations to the Vancouver Park Board! 🎉
The Kitsilano Beach Connection on the Seaside Greenway just won a 2026 HUB Cycling Infrastructure Improvement Award. Great news for people who bike in Vancouver. 🚲
Happy Holi to everyone celebrating! 🌈
The festival of colours reminds us of renewal, joy, and the beauty of diversity in our wonderful city.
Great to see leaders come together at the @wearehub.bsky.social Awards 🚲
When municipalities and community organizations collaborate, we build safer streets, healthier communities, and a more connected region. Proud to champion active transportation. #HUBCycling #Vancouver
Meth is a growing concern in our city, and BC needs a deliberate long-term strategy.
I’m really disappointed to hear that Car Free Days in Vancouver have been cancelled this summer.
These fun, free events are the heartbeat of a vibrant community — bringing neighbours together, supporting local businesses, celebrating music, culture, and connection. They make our city feel alive.1/2
Chag Purim Sameach! 🎭 ✨
Wishing Vancouver’s Jewish community a joyful and spirited holiday.

1/ When Ken Sim and Lenny Zhou spoke about the DTES last week, they demonstrated not only a lack of honesty toward their council colleagues but also a cheap attempt to deflect from their record, one that has made life worse for people in the neighbourhood while making few in Vancouver feel safer:
💡 Just think for a moment about the depth of harm in the DTES.
I had family. Friends. A job. An employer who did everything they could to support me. Counsellors. Victim support agencies. Lawyers.
1/ When ABC spread misinformation about the DTES, ban supportive housing, and decamp from parks to sidewalks and back to parks again (for millions of dollars a year), let’s not forget that of the unhoused people that are our friends, families, and neighbours… we are talking about:
We need to bring young people back to Vancouver bsky.app/profile/kare...
I believe that it’s my generation’s responsibility to create the winning conditions for the next generation. That social contract is broken. We need to bring young people back to Vancouver. Here’s the full video: www.instagram.com/reel/DVUqfV4...
Ken's Sim's toxic bitcoin legacy continues to cause havoc on our streets.
Vancouver's Values Matter.
Part 3 of 3 of a CBC series on Bitcoin ATMs (BATMs)
- The U.K. effectively banned BATMs.
- New Zealand is proposing a ban
- Australia introduced daily transaction limits
- Half of U.S. states have proposed restrictions.
The Vancouver Liberals will ban these BATMs.

Money laundering is fueling crime in Vancouver.
Bitcoin ATMs and unregulated currency exchanges are being used to wash dirty money that enables Vancouver's toxic drug crisis.
