COPE's AGM and Park Board nomination conference is on Aug 8! If you're a registered COPE member, I could use your support there: Participating in internal party democracy is a good way to help influence political outcomes, since you can help decide who gets on the ballot before the election even happens.

The Drug User Liberation Front’s constitutional challenge wrapped up Friday, but co-founders Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum won’t know until next year whether their efforts to save lives will land them in jail. Michelle Gamage reports. #vanpolihttps://thetyee.ca/News/2026/07/27/DULF-Founders-Drug-Law-Charter-Challenge-Ends/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial

Learning about the diversity of sparrows has been an unexpected pleasure of birding in Vancouver. At least 14 species live in our municipal parks, if not more! For the next two weeks I'll be seeking COPE's nomination for Park Board candidacy, so I can support ecological stewardship of our parks. #Vancouver #VanPoli

I've done years of nature photography in Vancouver's parks. I care about them a lot. And after getting into political organizing last year, I want to help look after them. I'm seeking nomination to be COPE's fourth Park Board candidate in the municipal elections - and for that, I do need to fundraise. If you'd like to support candidates for public office who are personally invested in wildlife and green spaces, please donate here: https://www.copevancouver.ca/donatetoguerric #Vancouver #VanPoli #BritishColumbia

Good news: the rezoning for the Mt. Pleasant AI data centre has been referred back to staff, likely relaying the approval hearing until after the October election - due to "huge public interest"! Every protester, and every person who signed up to speak at the rezoning hearing helped make this happen! Now it's time to fight an election. We'll share next steps soon. Thanks to our friends at the Canadian Animation Guild for the graphic! #Vancouver #VanPoli #NoAI #BigTech #DataCentres

A Vancouver teenager is asking the federal government to improve public education about endometriosis, a condition that affects roughly one in 10 people assigned female at birth, or two million Canadians.

The condition is common and painful. Many Canadians know little about it.

Hey Canada?!! New York became the first state to pause all construction of massive new AI data centers. The 1-year moratorium applies to data centers using 50 megawatts or more and will not be lifted until “consistent standards” for responsible data center development are set. The ban is intended to address the risks of pollution, rising energy costs, and diminishing water supplies. 1/2 #VanPoli #Vancouver #BCPoli #CdnPoli #energyhttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/07/new-york-is-the-first-state-to-impose-a-data-center-moratorium/
New York bans data center construction for a year, rattling AI industry

New York bans data center construction for a year, rattling AI industry

New York’s data center moratorium may become the blueprint for anti-AI movement.

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@CanadiansOrg/116856025293516580 It's important to remember that the data centre fight is just our local part in the larger fight against a tech industry that wants to dismantle democracy, eradicate social safety nets, commodify every aspect of human society, and concentrate as much wealth and power in itself as it can. #cdnpoli #canada #bcpoli #vanpoli #vancouver

The Carney Liberals have increasingly aligned their messaging, rhetoric and policy vision with Build Canada, an AI-hyping, austerity-loving advocacy group created by tech executives previously linked to Pierre Poilievre, reports Chris Holcroft in The Tyee. https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/06/24/Carney-Under-Sway-Broligarchs/

A patch of long-delayed development land in Vancouver has been temporarily turned into dog parks and a community garden. To some neighbours and critics, it looks less like a public amenity than a way to lower the tax bill on land that has sat unfinished for years. Sonal Gupta reports. #vanpolihttps://thetyee.ca/News/2026/06/17/Billionaire-Developer-Holborn-Garden-Tax-Break-Little-Mountain/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial
