Instead for a city for the rich, we can fight for climate justice, affordable housing for all, improved public services, and fight back against billionaires.
The Housing market isn't broken - it is working exactly as designed.

VANCOUVER DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY
Instead of a Vancouver that’s a playground for big money — we can have a city that’s on the side of the people.
Instead of rising homelessness, tent cities, and overdoses — we can have a solidarity city where every person matters.
Instead of a housing market that evicts us, exploits us, and beats us down — we can fight for permanently affordable housing in every neighbourhood.
COPE always fights for people and has been fighting for the 99% since 1968. That’s how COPE has won big victories both in and out of office, like the first rent control (1968), the Empty Homes Tax (2017), Free Transit for Kids (2021), and Vacancy Control for SROs (2024).
