Instead of abolishing the @parkboard.bsky.social , Ken Sim and the ABC team wants to double-down on a majority (again) when half their previous ABC commissioners abandoned them and 1 of the remaining 3 is consistently a no-show to meetings. @tomdigby1.bsky.social feels otherwise. #VanPoli

A photo of current Vancouver Park Board Chair, Tom Digby, against a backdrop of mountains over a bay and a quote from him that reads, "We've always known how to fix the Park Board: elect good commissioners. Abolition was never the answer."

The whales can't vote. Vancouver residents can. Last night, ABC and Vancouver Liberal Park Board Commissioners voted down stronger protections for marine wildlife. Want leaders who will stand up for Vancouver's coast, parks, and wildlife? Vote for Vancouver Greens. #VanPoli #MarineConservation

Meme showing two men (Kareem Allan and Ken Sim) riding a jet ski on the water, with their faces edited onto the riders. Large text reads: "LOUD. OBNOXIOUS. HARMFUL TO MARINE LIFE. ABC/VANLIBS ALSO WANT JETSKIS AT BEACHES." The image criticizes ABC and Vancouver Liberal politicians for opposing stronger protections related to jet ski activity and marine wildlife.

Green Party of Vancouver@vangreens· May 27

Whales are returning to Burrard Inlet. Our rules need to catch up. Tell the Park Board to support Tom Digby's motion before June 1! win.newmode.net/greenpartyof... #VanPoli #MarineConservation
