WE NEED TO ELECT SOMEONE LIKE SEAN ORR WHO CAN FIGHT FOR US

Ken Sim and ABC don’t care about us. They only care about their rich friends. Sean Orr is uniquely positioned to hold Ken Sim accountable. As a columnist for the last few decades, he has always stood up for people and exposed the powerful. Sean Orr is a fighter who will hold Ken Sim accountable and help build a movement to get Ken Sim and ABC out of city hall in 2026. He promised us a better city, and all we got was Chip Wilson Day.

SEAN ORR AND COPE WILL FIGHT FOR HOUSING

The housing market might be working for the super-rich and investors, but the rest of us are getting left behind. Sean Orr will fight to close the loopholes landlords use to jack up rents, protect affordable housing from demovictions, and fight to build affordable public housing for every income level and in every neighbourhood. Read COPE’s Housing Platform.

KEN SIM AND ABC ARE ATTACKING OUR INSTITUTIONS

Ken Sim and ABC are cutting services like green bin pickups, upgrades to parks and pools, and pausing planned community centre upgrades. Ken Sim lied about the Park Board to get elected, and then tried to abolish it without a democratic process. He tried to muzzle the integrity commissioner while under investigation. Sean Orr will fight for integrity at City Hall. Read the full Fight For Vancouver Platform.

Vancouver doesn’t have to be this way.

We can fight for housing. We can fight to protect tenants from demovictions and exploitation. We can fight like hell to end homelessness.

Together we can build the city we need.

Together we can take democracy back from the billionaires.

Let’s start the process on April 5th.

Next year, we finish the job and Evict Ken Sim. 

Sean Orr
COPE Candidate
