Ken Sim Let Vancouver Bleed — Now He Wants FIFA?

Ken Sim Let Vancouver Bleed — Now He Wants FIFA?

What happened after the fireworks was not just a one-off incident. It was the result of months — years — of negligence, cruelty, and shortsighted leadership. We saw a man beaten in the streets in what appeared to be a racially motivated attack. We saw someone stabbed on a bus, basically right outside my window. A serious police incident unfolded at Robson Square. And this all happened in one night.

It’s clear now: Mayor Ken Sim has failed the people of Vancouver.

Under his leadership, our city has become more dangerous, more divided, and more hostile to the most vulnerable. He ran on promises of safety — instead, he bulldozed encampments, treated unhoused people like trash, and did nothing meaningful to address the root issues: poverty, mental health, addiction, and the housing crisis.

We warned this would happen. You can’t sweep people off sidewalks and expect peace. You can’t let hate grow unchecked and expect harmony. And you can’t cut corners on community support and expect anything but disaster.

Our Youth Are Lost — And This Is What We Show Them?

Our young people are angry, confused, and disillusioned. They see a city full of broken promises, unaffordable homes, and leaders who care more about photo ops than real change. What happened during and after the fireworks wasn’t just chaos — it was a cry for help from a city in crisis.

And Now We Want to Host FIFA?

FIFA?! Are we serious? How can we justify spending billions on a corporate spectacle when we can’t even protect our own citizens on a summer night in July? What kind of twisted priorities do we have when luxury tourists matter more than the kids growing up with no hope, no stability, and no future?

This is not leadership. This is failure driven by greed, optics, and denial.

Vancouver Needs to Wake Up

If we continue down this path, we won’t just lose our fireworks — we’ll lose the soul of this city. Vancouver once stood for diversity, kindness, and community. But now, we’re at a crossroads: Stand up and demand better, or let this city die under the weight of corporate deals and empty promises.

The question isn’t “Can we host FIFA?” It’s: Can we survive another year like this?
