Baseless attacks on Ken Sim show the ugly side of progressive politics

, “Vancouver is now a police state,” because Sim wants to increase the size of the Vancouver Police Department by a mere seven per cent . And in perhaps the most extraordinary accusation of all, Sim was painted as an upholder ofOne tries to find polite language to describe such accusations. “Deranged” is, I think, as clean as it is possible to keep it. But such deranged thinking does have its benefits.

Were Sim of the correct political persuasion — that is to say, left-of-centre — there would be no end to the cooing about what his victory represents. Instead, left-wing extremists and ideologues have decided he is a fascist or a representative of systematic racism because he tacks slightly right in his political views and got an endorsement from theSadly, once powerful words to denote the very worst of society and humankind have become so overused as to be meaningless.

Such disturbing views can only be held when one does not see race as an immutable fact, but an identity wherein certain races or sexual orientations have characteristics that can be set out in. Individuals can then be unhelpfully described by these alleged features. Sim challenges those views and is therefore painted as a danger, or a traitor.

Stereotyping in this way is perniciously used to diminish accomplished members of formerly disadvantaged groups who have even slightly conservative views. In the eyes of woke left factions, the only possible reason visible minorities could hold such beliefs is that they have assimilated the power structure of whiteness.

However, one of the refreshing elements of Sim’s landslide victory was that it was a clear repudiation of a city hall that was hellbent on being as woke as possible and using Twitter as its policy guide. In the end, it turns out that people in Vancouver are far more worried about getting stabbed than they are about the vague implications of climate change.

You can be a bootlicker without being a fascist, but you cannot be a fascist without being a bootlicker.

We aren’t saying he’s a fascist, but his proposals aren’t going to help the poor and working class. He’s just going to make his rich developer friends wealthier.

The left has been ruining that city for decades.... now they are doing the same across the entire country. What they think is propaganda...simply as that

To the left everyone they doesn’t agree is a fascist.

Truthful article. The left are hate mongers of the first order. It’s only their myopic view that counts. Guess what kids !! Your feeding at the trough days are coming to an end. Can’t wait for real life issues of working Canadian coming first. If that’s fascist! So be it

Typical hypocrisy of the woke left. Plus the utmost absurdity of calling a Chinese descendant Canadian a white supremacist.

Actually we are worried about climate change. And being stabbed. It is possible to worry about more than one thing. I find it's alot easier to deal with climate change when you're not worrying about being stabbed, but maybe that's just me.

So the left is lying but the right is telling the truth?

You just make this shit up

The people of Vancouver have spoken. 'The Left' should pay attention.

The left in Vancouver want the streets to be filled w homeless and crazies

To the left, everyone right of Stalin is a fascist.

What does the strawman say? Click the bait to find out!

Sadly in today’s world if you are not a woke liberal politician who focuses on identity politics rather than real issues like housing and the economy, you are a fascist.

Mr. Sim seems like a doer and thats what Vancouver needs. Someone that will take action and not just virtue signal.

Radical far left again demonstrates their true racist colours.

Calling their opponents racist is a time honoured tactic by Liberals and Progressives. Now that they've discovered most minorities are more Conservative than Progressive, we have new terms like, the black face of white supremacy. Race baiting 101.

Smear, smear, smear. Thank you for telling the truth I find it so funny when election pundits, post election, ever refer to a win as a clear anything within the LMD of BC. With turnouts hovering at 30%, no win is ever a clear sign of residents wishes. If anything, it’s a clear sign that elections are seen to be abysmal failures.
