#newwest Queens Park and Quayside Drive next year please
We teamed up with some local residents and threw a giant Halloween block party! Most importantly, we'll be pushing hard to make sure this can be a reality for every neighbourhood that wants it next year.

Looking forward to handing out candy on the boardwalk tonight. So fun to have community out in the dark for the silliness that is Halloween.

Come down to the Quay for car-free trick or treating! #NewWest

Had a stroll over to the Good Neighbour Caffe here in #NewWest. Ordered a hot chocolate, which was superb. I'm so happy that there are places like this - gathering points in the community. We need more of those.

#NewWest “Progressives” put out 15 actions to achieve visible change, mostly austerity, a 0% budget, cutting consulting expenses and recently letting go of the Director of Planning. But when they work on their Council strategic plan, they'll be hiring a consultant.

Failing to live up to their plan.

In #newwest and Victoria it’s going to be a depressingly fact free four years.
BC Conservatives have promised to "Immediately repeal the radical Step Code policy and Net-Zero mandate, which Conservatives recognize as hidden taxes that have driven housing costs up 30% - 40%"

Problem is, Alberta has no step code, and their cost of construction has risen much faster than ours.

Another 1,000+ trees, another $1M+ from the federal government to pay for thier planting and maintenance. The next generation will enjoy this investment long after this election cycle is lost to history.
I’m Really proud of that.

The #Newwest Politics thread on Reddit is eerily like Fox News.

"There's a thing that happened that I know nothing about, but the squirrels in my heads think it's REALLY EVIL"

A timely podcast episode for #NewWest, as the Citizens Assembly “politics without politicians” model is being removed by politicians.
For decades, politicians have failed to fix Connecticut’s broken property tax system. So they’re trying something new: a citizens assembly. Today on the show, what happens when politicians step aside to let citizens decide what’s best?

Managed to avoid most of the rain but there were a lot of pumpkins and ghouls on the delivery routes today! No tricks, all treats - in the form of a new issue of @freshetnews.bsky.social ! Pick one up at a community centre, library, or business near you.

Hey @newwestminster.bsky.social looks like in an emergency we get a 404 Error?

I have been wondering what to do if we have a huge emergency and it isnt good that we need to use an on-line resource that isn’t working.

I think our local fash rag would beg to differ in #NewWest.

When I say local citizen assemblies are vulnerable to polarization and political cycles, I’m referencing what’s occurring in #newwest now. Where the newly elected majority NWP council are already scrapping the successful Community Assembly introduced by the outgoing Community First council & Mayor.
NWP ready to govern on Day One with 100-day plan - New Westminster Progressives
15 actions. 100 days. Progress for a change.
