Lenny Zhou posted on WeChat and said “I hope the new mayor and council will listen to different voices.”
I don’t know Lenny, ABC didn’t listen to us at all in the past 4 years. When we said no to zero means zero, you did it.

Just said the phrase “our 21 year old nonbinary city councillor” oh my god this world is so beautiful

Kudos to Stephanie Allen @builtjustice for bravely stepping aside to make the progressive sweep possible, but also never quitting the COPE campaign. She kept knocking on doors, working the phones, and supporting candidates until polls closed. She never faded into the background.

It’s nice to be freed from the shackles of the responsibility of vilifying drug users as an ABC councillor so you can now finally enjoy some recently decriminalized drugs out on the street yourself, right @PeterMeiszner? #vanpoli #evictkensim

Vancouver Election Thoughts:
Overall impressive campaign by COPE & Greens. Seriously, congratulations to them and their teams for a decisive and major win.
Progressive forces, especially, need to study COPE's campaign strategies and take note!

Overjoyed that for the first time ever, Vancouver has elected an openly non-binary candidate, a trans candidate, and a south asian woman! We have a long way to go in getting council, park, and school boards that look like our city but we took a big step forward last night

Almost all of it was negative and assumed Vancouerites were stupid.
Great to see it fail.
ABC Vancouver vastly outspent rivals on social media ads in this election vancouversun.com/news/abc-va…

4/4 @COPEVancouver candidates where elected last night. I wrote about their rebuild from near extinction in 2022 for @TheBreachMedia and interviewed some of the organizers instrumental in their success last night.
4 years ago they were writing obituaries for @COPEVancouver. Now the municipal party is poised for a comeback.
@jamesgadair explores how COPE rebuilt around a younger, engaged base and democratic socialist vision.
