Patrick Condon, whose mayoral campaign was tragically cut short by stroke, has continued to stay active through writings and presentations on topics related to this October's Vancouver municipal election. He is today announcing his support for the full slate of COPE and Green Party city council candidates in the hope that candidates from these two slates will form a majority on the next Vancouver City Council. Condon's endorsements for the 2018 Vancouver City Council election: "Electing the right people to fill Vancouver city council seats is far more important than who becomes mayor. The power to demand & make change rests in the Council's hands, not in the mayor's or city staffs.
Friend is a word that is often used when another word would be much more fitting and appropriate. For example, who truly has 54 Facebook 'friends'? This is demeaning to the concept offriendship. So is saying that a person is a 'true' friend. The way I see it you are either a friend or you are not. We all have acquaintances, companions, eo-workers, eovolunteers and people we know in professions such as doctors. But just how many friends can one person have in a lifetime? How many people can you trust unconditionally; how many people are there for you in your time of need who don't make excuses for not being there? A friend doesn't gossip behind your back. A friend always calls or writes back. A friend doesn't share your secrets with others. A friend always asks your permission, even when offering advice. And a friend won't offer criticism or be blunt and frank without your consent. I knew a man for about the last 3 years. His name was Holger Mueller. And for roughly the last year I can openly and honestly say he'd become a friend of mine And I am ever so grateful for being able to share that time with him. For everything I have written here Holger epitomized. He truly did have the genuine spirit offriendship.
"Both COPE and the Green party have campaigned on strong housing platforms, recognizing that the housing market is broken and will never supply secure tenure for I miss you Holger. And thank you for being my wage eamers hoping to raise a family in this city and pro- friend. tect the most vulnerable. The housing crisis has reached Johnny Jaworski epic proportions and the time is now for a clean break with the policies that have only added to the problem. COPE and the Green Party combined will provide that break while offering broadly based approaches to the housing and other city issues that have devastated the poor and Jenny Kwan MP created intolerable stresses for our working families. "The good news is that the most recent public polling shows COPE and Green ahead of all other parties, with the NPA in third spot. If we all get out to vote we have a chance for real change and to get the housing we need. " Condon asked voters to join him in support of COPE city council candidates Jean Swanson, Anne Roberts and Derrick O'Keefe and Green Party candidates Adriane Carr, Pete Fry, Michael Wiebe and David Wong.

Court case proves city needs to protect tenants from slumlords VANCOUVER COAST SALISH TERRITORIES -- "It's more necessary than ever that the city steps in to protect tenants when the courts fail." That's what COPE city council candidate Jean Swanson said today in response to the court decision that former tenants of the Regent Hotel, owned by the notorious Sahotas, won't be able to bring a class action suit against the hotel and the city for having to put up with years of a broken elevator, lack of heat and hot water, vermin, and plugged toilets. "Landlords have a lot more power than tenants, and this case proves it," said Swanson. "Virtually no one in the city believes that tenants should have to put up with the conditions at the Regent Hotel, yet no level of government or the court is willing to step in and protect them." "COPE candidates for city council will priori':' tize tenants. If landlords refuse to repair and maintain their buildings, COPE will use the Standards of Maintenance bylaw to have the city do the work and bill the owner," added council candidate Anne Roberts. "When the provincial Residential Tenancy Act won't protect tenants from terrible maintena . or high rent increases, and the courts fail too, it's time for a change at the city level to take strong action," said council candidate Derrick O"Keefe. "COPE will also work to use all city powers, including the Tenant Relocation and Protection policy and business licences, to prevent renovictions and and rent increases."

"If the courts refuse to protect tenants, the city has to take strong measures and do it now," added O'Keefe. "COPE is grateful to the SRO Collaborative and Jack Gates for organizing a lawsuit that brought pressure on the city to eventually close a dangerous building. We need to use city powers to make sure buildings don't get to this state in the future and to protect tenants who complain about terrible conditions."

Norman James Hall Launches Six Banners to Bring Indigenous Chiefs and Nobles to Life at Vancouver Public Library's Aperture Downtown Eastside-based indigenous artist/residential school survivor honours 6 chiefs I am the artist I am today because of my heritage and their influence. I painted their portraits to honour and amplify their importance. I think they live inside me, as part of my Indigenous history, and part of our abilities and our expressions. I want my paintings to make more people aware of their influence, to strengthen their existence and bring them from books to life.Norman lames Hall Vancouver, BC - Downtown Eastside-based indigenous artist/residential school survivor Norman James Hall will launch a new public artwork "Chiefs and Nobles" at Vancouver Public Library's library square promenade in fall 2018. The project is commissioned by the City of Vancouver's Reconciliation programming. "Chiefs and Nobles symbolizes the strength and the paths of knowledge of these six distinguished Indigenous leaders and artists. I decided to paint these portraits to bring the Chiefs and the artists to life, and stimulate interest in finding out more about Indigenous arts, culture, history, and its future," said Hall.
The Chiefs and Nobles painted on the banners are Chief Jim Pollard, Chief Alex Clellamin, Chief Sam Pootlass, Chief Willie Mack, artist Arthur Shilling, and artist Norval Morrisseau. The four Nuxalk Chiefs are related to his family history and his relatives. The two artists, Arthur Shilling and Norval Morrisseau, come from Anishnaabe ancestry. They survived residential school, and became internationally recognized as Indigenous artists connected to their heritage but working in contemporary themes. Their style and use of colour have greatly influ enced Hall's work and served as his inspiration. The banners are currently in the process of printing and are expected to be installed in late-Oct or early-Nov in Vancouver Public Library's library square promenade.
SAHOTA LAWSUIT: JACK GATES CONTINUES AFTER RULING AGAINST CLASS-ACTION
TO FIGHT SUIT
In August 2016, Regent Hotel resident Jack Gates and unnamed tenants filed a civil claim against the Sahotas for failure to maintain the building. But on Thursday October I I th, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled against the proposed class action lawsuit moving forward. The proposed class action lawsuit seeks damages for tenants at the Regent and an injunction ordering repairs. The Sahotas' years of neglect resulted in unhealthy and unsafe living conditions unfit for anyone to live in.The building was infested with rat and bed bugs, had a leaky roof, the elevator was constantly breaking and trapping tenants with mobility issues,there was a lack of heat and hot water, and often the fire escape was obstructed. News of the B.C Court of Appeal's ruling was a blow to Gates and the community in the Downtown Eastside but Gates is undeterred by the setback and vows to keep on fighting. "I was up all night and I was upset. It was heartbreaking to hear that we loss. People deserve more than what they got. If I hadn't sued, I wouldn't have gotten into BC Housing. I'm not going to quit, we need to get people into housing and off the streets," said Gases. Jason Gratl, lawyer on the Gates versus Sahota case explained that the B.C. Court of Appeal stated that the Residential Tenancy Act requires 450 separate tenants to bring 450 substantially similar complaints to the Residential Tenancy Board. Gratl pointed out that this was a problematic loophole in the RTB."If that is so, the Residential Tenancy Act has a loophole for slumlords big enough for the Sahotas' business model to walk through," said Gratl, "We are calling on the Attorney General and the Minister of Housing to close the slumlord loophole in the Residential Tdnancy Act." Ultimately, the City of Vancouver has failed tenants living in Sahota owned SROs like the Regent and the Balmoral, as well as other SROs in the community with unsafe and unhealthy conditions. The city has been aware of the living conditions but failed to act. SRO residents in the DTES and supporters have been calling on the city to enforce the city's standards of maintenance By-law section 23.8 for several years. Section 23.8 states that when a building does not comply with standards, City Council can order the landlord to remedy concerns, and if the landlord fails to do so within 60 days of the order, the City will carry out the work at the owner's expense.
"If the city enforced section 23.8 along time ago, they could have fixed the SROs and billed the Sahotas,' said Gates. "People would still have their homes." Instead, th city allowed the slum lord owners to profit off rents for decades without spending on maintenance. The city continues its' failure to protect residents of the city by not protecting tenants where the court has failed. "I watched people being illegally evicted. I saw people violently beaten and assaulted. I saw doors kicked in and had my own door kicked down for trying to speak out against the living conditions in the building," said Gates. "The police didn't help and the city didn't help. I won't stop -- I'm going to keep fighting against the Sahotas.There were about 150 tenants affected by the Sahotas. I want all of our voices to be heard." Jack Gates intends on appealing to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Fiona has been working in the Downtown Eastside for over six years and have been involved in various social justice activities for many years, including community media, environmental issues,gender equality, and housing and homelessness. Read Fiona's vision for the future of the Downtown Eastside below. FIONA YORK: MY VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF THE DTES
My vision for the future of the Downtown Eastside is one that is equitable, inclusive and welcoming of a diverse community of long-term residents and low income residents, that respects the area's history, tradition and population and provides safe and accessible housing for all. I believe in a social-justice zone around Oppenheimer Park that is projected from rent increase, and that current rental and SRO hotel stock is held at the same levels rather than steadily decreasing and being replaced by "market-rental" housing and expensive condos. There should be sufficient low income and social housing that is accessible to local and long-term residents. I would like to see and end to runaway gentrification and businesses that are beyond the means of most long-term residents. Current rental housing must be replaced with rental housing, existing SROs must be protected and monitored, with the city enforcing existing rules and powers to protect housing and tenants and "slum" landlords being penalized for housing infractions. Finally, I would like to see empowerment, honour and participation for local and longterm residents, embracing their input in housing and community decision-making, and with mechanisms for community planning and respecting the vision, needs and history of residents.
