We have work to do, BC. The only left of centre left was the Greens. The NDP sold out with a leader who refused to listen to the UBCM, his own people and the people of the province. Dark days are ahead.
Plan, organize, fight to protect 2SLGBTQ fam
and our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

Andrew took his analysis straight from a press release from the Union of B.C. Municipalities, which does good work but has its own reasons for framing things this way.
Incidentally, the UBCM is looking for a new President, Second Vice President, and Vancouver rep.
They all lost on Saturday.

Sarrah is beginning her third term as mayor of Fraser Lake and has served in various positions on the UBCM board since 2020. Sarrah's leadership experience and commitment to local government will serve our membership well, and we look forward to supporting her in this role.

Thanks Justin. Yes, the numbers I cited came from UBCM. What's your thought on why their numbers are different from yours?

Even with your numbers, 75 percent of incumbents still won. That means for every 20 incumbents, one fewer won this time than last time. A dip, yes, but UBCM I think is right to question whether that is "terrible".
To "lies, damn lies and statistics" we may need to add charts.

Thanks Michael. Tough night for OneCity but that’s the “perk” of downballot voting. I’m pretty disappointed than YIMBYism is on the back foot in Saanich, Vancouver, Victoria, and elsewhere.
I look forward to working with OC, COPE, and VanGreens on municipal ranked ballots at UBCM.

It is! It’s why I’m keen on watching municipal election results this evening. Should reveal a lot about attitudes towards housing. The question remains: more nimbyism or yimbyism?
Perhaps a new vote on single stair apartment reform, this year’s UBCM conference will at least reveal who’s educated…
