Opinion: Is Vancouver primed for a political earthquake or just a tremor?
Opinion: A crowded field ahead of the election means an unpredictable race at a time when fault lines in Vancouver society are pronounced

How much did the electoral geographies for 2022 + 2018 City of Vancouver's mayoral races shape the #vanelxn26 #vanelxn2026 #vanpoli strategies + platforms in 2026?

Or has it all changed?

I've been running my On Your Mats, Get Set, VOTE! campaign, inviting every Vancouver municipal candidate to practice yoga at @stretchvancouver.bsky.social
Over 1/4 of candidates are on Bluesky. The two on Mastodon look inactive.
Hoping that's a trend away from #TechGiants

Any why it’s a hard NOPE.

“ Fry has voted with the ABC position on eight of nine significant housing votes (89 per cent), the highest rate among non-ABC councillors”

#vanre #FAIL #DensityDoneWrong #vanelxn2026 #vanpoli
According to a recent poll, Vancouver mayor candidate Pete Fry has seen a surge in support since progressive parties narrowed their candidates - but as @vancolour.bsky.social points out, there are some troubling gaps in his campaign. #vanpoli

No mention of @colleenhardwick.bsky.social #TEAM running for Mayor nor stats? Just Sim, Fry & Allam? #vanelxn2026 #vanpoli
Instead of preserving that original, broad coalition that swept them into office in 2022, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and his ABC Vancouver party have consolidated a smaller, more durable and distinctly conservative electoral fortress. Mo Amir writes.

OneCity & Greens arent “progressive”- They’ve voted in most every ABC upzoning & density project citywide, trashing NH consults. #vanre #vanelxn2026 #vanpoli
My analysis of this situation is that COPE and OneCity are still very deep in their bubble of talking to core supporters, deeply hoping that Vancouver voters will rise up and support their candidacy en masse, and deeply panicking that things didn't naturally resolve itself through magic
