Using the murder of this @BCRCMP officer to forward a misguided agenda of hate is abhorrent. Is this rhetoric what @pivotlegal thinks is a productive way to spend their time or solve issues? Absolutely disgusting.

I am truly baffled by this statement from @kennedystewart . As a member of the @VancouverPD , he was my boss for almost 4years. Not once did I feel he “stood up for local law enforcement”. Maybe he meant to say he likes to step on or stand in the way of local law enforcement.

@coxey3492 @PeterMeiszner @Vote4ABC Hi Liz, as a former VPD officer I could talk forever about what we can do, but it starts by giving police tools they need (not defunding) & a good relationship with VPD unlike the adversarial one caused by the mayor. I am running for council to solve many public safety issues.

Gastown could be a spectator spot for locals & tourists. The roads & sidewalks need to be fixed. Removing vehicles would be easy without impacting small business & would increase the number of patios + public spaces for ppl to safely enjoy food, drink, music, and shopping.

@jillreports Why do we punish people with ridiculous and nonsensical archaic rules that make it tough for well run small businesses to stay above water. We need to look at evidence and fact-based common sense approaches.

It is vital to find ways to repair & revitalize areas in Vancouver that have been neglected and hit hard by street disorder and crime. It is important to honour/respect the significant impact that Chinatown has had on Vancouver’s cultural history.

@CherylZiola @BCRCMP @pivotlegal @iamkennethchan @jarmstrongbc @rdayaglobal Hey Cheryl. Cash bail is not really something we have here. More a part of the US system. There are times when a surety may be required, but that’s rare in my experience. Most times court release on conditions only.

Glad to see the mayor is concerned about what is happening in Vancouver. Surprise, it’s not the mayor of Vancouver. It’s time for a change in our city. @Vote4ABC on Oct 15. #vanpoli

And shocker: dozens & dozens & dozens of previous criminal charges. Where is the accountability for those who make the laws & administer the decisions to the innocent victims who suffer because of it?

This was a tragic & horrific scene. Very difficult for those who witnessed, first responders, & police investigators. Many challenges with this type of crash. Great to see the work by front line officers & the @VancouverPD Collision Investigation Unit has resulted in charges.

@nlamontagne These front yard businesses are a great idea that should be revisited. They would be embraced in many neighbourhoods again. If the community wants them, then municipal government should let them happen.

Since we haven’t heard anything from Cllr. Swanson, I assume she condones the acts by her supporters. They are happy to support court and process decisions if it is in their favour, but are quick to resort to violence and act like spoiled children when the answer is “no”.

Were any media on hand at Vancouver City Hall today when Cllr. Swanson's supporters stormed the building, damaged doors, and sent the Council Chamber into lockdown (again) until the VPD could restore order? This is not a protest, it's mire a preamble to violent revolution.

You just brought back memories of playing little league baseball in the summers at Hillcrest Park and having the ice cream truck show up every night playing “The Entertainer” over the loud speakers.

Police were intended to fight/solve crime, but have been forced to deal with social, family, & economic issues because of failed & poorly managed provincial and federal gov’t programs & policies. We need to make sure money intended to help ppl gets to those ppl #vanpoli

@JohnathonV @PeterMeiszner @Vote4ABC @KenSimCity @LisaDominato @MikeKlassen @LennyNanZhou @sarahkirby_yung @rebeccaleebligh The mayor was absent as he was attending the funeral of a murdered police officer. He wanted to show his support for Cst O’Brien’s family, the policing community, and our regional partners - an important part of his job as mayor.
