In October 2022, Vancouver voters embraced a new political party, A Better City (ABC), emphasizing public safety and housing affordability amidst rising crime and homelessness. The party achieved a landslide victory, electing all its candidates, including entrepreneur Ken Sim as mayor. Facing its first major challenge in April 2023's by-election, ABC must prove its governance capabilities after two councillors from progressive parties resigned. Observers suggest the election will serve as a referendum on ABC's administration and its commitments to addressing pressing urban issues.
As Vancouver prepares for its upcoming by-election, a pivotal moment for ABC's governance is emerging, marked by the resignations of two progressive councillors.
Voters seem to have shifted right, spurred by concerns over rising crime and homelessness, contributing to ABC's electoral success.
