Today, Chinese seniors fought their hearts out outside city hall to stop luxury condos from being developed at #105keefer. Meanwhile, while the most divisive gentrification project in Vancouver moves forward, mayor @KenSimCity decided to spend his day with BC Lions cheerleaders.
On Wednesday, Vancouver tenants rallied outside Plan A Real Estate’s office to protest unlawful evictions surveillance and harassment that started when Plan A bought their West End building in April.
Park rangers in CRAB Park this morning evicting people from their homes during an atmospheric river because "this is the park with the most eyes on it." Unconscionable. Shame on @CityofVancouver and @ParkBoard
Sadly, centrists in the mushy middle usually have more in common with the right than with actual social movements / of the genuine left. Both love market based solutions even while the world burns. Neither are capable of addressing the omni-crisis that is swallowing us.
In the last year, David Eby defunded DULF, gutted decrim, shut some harm reduction & talked up forced treatment. Instead of spending 12 months collapsing to the right, he could've called a snap election in October 2023. With a divided right, he would've scored an easy majority.
A Vancouver landlord used surveillance footage to attempt to evict a tenant because her boyfriend visited; allegedly threatened to evict others because their spouse lives with them; and is now suing several residents for defamation. thetyee.ca/News/2024/10/0…
From “we didn’t b0mb a hospital,” to bragging about murdëring 400 people while destroying a hospital. We’re seeing in real-time how dehumanisation, the normalisation of war crimes, and genøcides happen.
Toronto’s protests against the Israeli genocide in Gaza continue.
Any journalist silent about this is a piece of shit.
he’s not done embarrassing himself it seems
Imagine poor and working class tenants. Now imagine them organizing, across buildings, neighborhoods, in encampments, citywide. Imagine them unionizing. Imagine those unions linking, sharpening each other, a different kind of power. You’re not just imagining, it’s happening 😌
This person is currently being held on $1M bail and is being charged with a string of felonies, including arson. They are accused of using improvised devices to start fires and damage property in retaliation for police brutality against Gaza solidarity encampments. 2/5
In the coming days, fundraiser information and other next steps will emerge from movement defense collectives in California. We should all be uplifting them, and sharing them with our bases. We will defend those who fight! Free Palestine. 5/5
Today in the SF Bay Area, someone was arrested during a multi-house raid conducted by local and federal agencies for their alleged connection to a series of direct actions committed in support of ending the siege and bombardment of Palestine. 1/5
After Park Beach tenants rallied yesterday, @PlanARealEstate's Anoop Majithia posited from his gold office: "I think that they were planning this no matter who bought the building”. But Plan A isn’t just any landlord. Their notorious tactics against tenants go back a decade…🧵
*READ & SHARE!* Tenants at Park Beach manor are not just fighting back against any landlord. Plan A & Anoop Majithia has been allows to get away with predatory practices for too long without consequences. That ends now.

Large group of tenants, supports, and media gathered in front of Plan A Realty’s offices at 999 Seymour. The members of the Park Beach Tenants Collective have been organizing with the @YVRTenantsUnion against illegal evictions, surveillance, and harassment in the West End.
“We’re tired of the price gouging. We’re tired of the evictions. We’re tired of the evictions. We’re tired of the legal grey areas that allow landlords to get away with all this.” -A member of the Park Beach Tenants Collective
