We said growth was coming. The Board didn't listen. The VSB closed Carleton anyway. One month later, thousands of new homes were planned, and our school is closed. I led the fight for Carleton and now seek to be elected as Trustee with COPE. Let's make some change in October!

A distinguished writer reflects back on the time before the 80s — before capital and its neoliberal politicians moved the state toward a focus on enabling corporations to extract profit, instead of on meeting peoples's needs.

Bennett is naming something most institutions have stopped being able to articulate; the state as custodian of long horizons. The function did not disappear in the eighties; the vocabulary for it did. Rebuilding that vocabulary, and the evidence infrastructure it rests on, is the quiet work of the next generation.

@LennyNanZhou @Vote4ABC @KenSimCity @CityofVancouver @sarahkirby_yung @LisaDominato @MikeKlassen @PeterMeiszner Where's the school spaces? Why is the Vancouver School Board closing schools and leasing out land for 99 years to private interests?

#vanpoli We have 45 unsafe schools 🏫 What's @kareemformayor plan?

Vancouver deserves safe schools. The School Liaison Officer program is helping reduce crime and improve safety around schools. This election will determine its future.

Single detached is quietly becoming one of the only plays that still makes sense over the next 5 years… maybe large duplexes if you do it right. We’re heading into a wave of gentrification in lower-end neighbourhoods. Watch places like Mission, Abbotsford, Chilliwack BC…. Land

@pwaldkirch You sure do inspire many in Vancouver with your theories of housing supply lacking. I got zero beef with housing; except when you want to build housing where schools are being closed (Joyce Station) or downsized (Fleming Elementary) or under threat (Gladstone Secondary) #bced

@kareemformayor @rrrobbberttt Q: Will Kareem run Trustee Candidates? Will the proposed transparency apply to @VSB39 and the "Fleming Precedent" which is a playbook for more school fields being "given away" in a public to private transfer loop. cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/2025/10/07/mil…

Hey @kareemformayor I agree with your recent post that “Any decision between business and council regarding public lands should not be made behind closed doors. This decision should be made publicly.” Have you spoken up about the City’s secret negotiations with the Whitecaps?
