Vancouver’s progressive anti-Ken-Sim municipal parties have coalesced behind Pete Fry as Bill Azaroff gracefully steps aside: https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/william-azaroff-vancouver-election-mayoral-announcement-sept-8
I’ve met both gents and either would be a vastly better mayor than Sim. I do prefer Fry though, first of all I’m a Green, second, he’s been on council for years and knows how things work.
Ken Sim is toast.
For those in #Vancouver who (like me) are grumpy about the Broadway subway-construction chaos (hey, the train will be great, totally worthwhile in the big picture) you’ll be happy to hear that at least there are many humans actively employed along that chunk of Broadway.
In which I argue that since happiness is harder to come by these days, you should bookmark it when it happens. With 10 pix of a local street fair.

#Vancouver culture - this is at Luppolo Brewing Co. on Venables in East Van. Pizzas, mostly veg, all good. Two excellent pilsners. Peaceful patio. Recommended.
