I am so incredibly proud of my city for turning out in volume like this.

Like the council I had expectations of low turnout and while waiting in line was not fun I’m glad to have spent the time.

I'm so glad Vancouver voters were tuned in to all the sketchy behaviour of Ken Sim, ABC councillors and the ABC campaign.

Trying to bring back gas into new builds multiple times despite it being rejected every time (and public speakers overwhelmingly turning out against it?)

Having people opt-out of receiving ABC election signs? (Including ex-ABC councillor Bligh's parents) Avoiding all candidate Q&As directly with voters? Making it harder to vote in the first place by cutting staff and reducing voting locations?

I think if this keeps up ABC and Sim are in for a rough ride next municipal election.
