Car Free Day: SAVED. Elect progressives, get results.

I moved this urgent motion today with Cllr Orr and was thrilled that it was approved unanimously by Council.

THEE Frances Bula *and* my old pal @theaaronchapman.bsky.social both running for OneCity? These two alone are a tasty slate and I’m ready to smash both buttons on Oct 17.

Happy birthday greetings today from Vancouver to London to the great #GylesBrandreth. Here’s a pic of us when I came to visit him on the set of #thismorning. Many thanks for all the laughter and bon mots over the years.

… at the civic level do what they can to be more efficient & better for the environment; like a shore power box (like the one behind the Orpheum) for tour buses on 900-block Seymour. Just one of the proposals I’d like to see happen if I’m a successful city council candidate for @OneCityVan.

Great night at the #VogueTheatre the other evening. Noticed their re-useable plastic cups programme which they’ve had a while. Some civic theatres have adopted too—great to see & applaud. Helps to keep single-use plastics out of landfill. Let’s help our entertainment district 1/2

Everybody talking about what caused that big bang over the city last night. I just figured it was another one of Ken Sim’s apologies landing with a thud.

Happening now: Tune in to #Sportsnet650AM for the Chat Room at Tyrant Studios as @komaniecki.bsky.social, 604 Records’ Jonathan Simkin, author/actress Ami Dolenz, broadcaster Greg “Dr. Sport” Douglas and actor Aleks Paunovic all join us on tonights jam packed episode.

A good @onecityvan.bsky.social weekend. Chatted with @lucymaloney.bsky.social at @terryyungyvr.bsky.social Lunar New Year celebration, and caught up with gentleman Fabian Contreras who like myself is also campaigning to be a candidate for council while at a Tyler Petersen (ParkBoard) video shoot.

Thank you Hez! We march on Mordor this year!

I was honoured to meet City of North Vancouver’s @mayorlindabuchanan.bsky.social at our recent #SecretsOfThePenthouse #VancouverHistory tour.
Since I’m running to be a @onecityvan.bsky.social candidate on #Vancouver city council it was good to get a few civic politics tips & bon mots.
Thanks Mayor!

Hurry up and elect this guy Vancouver

It felt so nasty I thought we could use a little dark humour.

Thinking of #LennyZhou today.

(I had posted this elsewhere the other day but was asked to share here…)
My own fireside chat to address recent events

We need to address how slow the city is sometimes forced, and other times inefficient in making approvals.

I don’t think I’ve seen anything like that before. #awful #Vancouver

A great Saturday night with @feedphil.bsky.social from #Netflix #SomebodyFeedPhil at @justforlaughs.com #Vancouver. Phil told some great stories and anecdotes, and we had some great laughs all around. See you next time, Phil!
Thanks #VancouverBC

91 years ago tonight at the #CommodoreBallroom the Junior League Cabaret dinner—a charity organization that raised funds for expectant Mothers to Tuberculosis patients, with an evening of music and dance.
Maybe your grandparents went? #CommodoreHistory #VancouverBC #LiveAtTheCommodore

Great to be at the @justforlaughs.com #Vancouver Thank You For Being a Friend night & congrats to Sheri Rowe and her team.
The city proclaimed it JFL week!
Great to catch up w/ @brentbutt.bsky.social & @ivandecker too!
Let’s see more fests, and the city spotlight our comedy scene!

Lunch at the #OvaltineCafe, with #TheClash on the radio. Things could be worse.

A complete disappointment on Council. I thought at least with his VPD background he could speak to some public safety and Police budget issues, but it seems he took more holiday time and not much interest in the job to start.

Like the man said, “Please allow me to introduce myself…”

Hey folks, Aaron Chapman here.
I’ve got some news for you, and I could use your support. Drop me a line.

I like what I’m hearing.
And this sounds like a progressive way to handle a progressive party issue—that’s been a very topical subject lately. Well done #WilliamAzaroff and #OneCityVancouver

@wazaroff.bsky.social has directed OneCity’s Board & Negotiating Team to table to COPE & the Greens a real unified primary to be held over the next 45 days. (2/3)

Good luck to Tom!

It was good to attend the @onecityvan.bsky.social AGM the other night. A full house!
And Congratulations to @wazaroff.bsky.social for winning the Mayoral candidacy race.
