#vanpoli Vancouver's Non-Partisan Association will have a general meeting to elect a new board. Angelo Isidorou has stepped down.
But if the NPA really believes "in an inclusive, compassionate and caring city free from hate, stigma and discrimination," 7 more also have to go:
But if the NPA really believes "in an inclusive, compassionate and caring city free from hate, stigma and discrimination," 7 more also have to go:
1. NPA president David Mawhinney
He oversaw Isidorou's addition to the board and signed off on a "Trumpian" press release that reads like Isidorou's work for far-right propaganda site The Post Millennial. He has refused to answer pertinent questions about extremism in his party.

2. NPA director Wes Mussio
He's an outspoken Trump & anti-mask supporter who called Dr. Henry "Dumb Bonnie." He challenged a reporter to a fight "if you are a man" & encourages people to join a far-right social media platform. He claims to be in the process of moving to Florida.

3. NPA director Dave Pasin
He echoed Trump's lies about the US election being rigged, which incited the Jan. 6 takeover of the Capitol by violent right-wing mobs. He has also attempted to defend Isidorou's use of a white supremacist gang sign, as well as Andy Ngo's "journalism."

4. NPA director Chris Wilson
Former BC bureau chief of far-right Rebel Media, which also employed well-known extremists. His videos defend Trump and white nationalist conspiracy theories. He called Catherine McKenna "Climate Barbie" and encourages "harassing" unhoused people.

5. NPA director Ryan Warawa
President of the BC Conservatives (a fringe party in this province well to the right of the Liberals) while Chris Wilson was a director. He's currently regional director of that party.

6. NPA treasurer Phyllis Tang
Affiliated with homophobic and transphobic groups like Culture Guard. She ran for city council endorsed by Let’s Vote Association, a socially conservative anti-choice organization. Let’s Vote also endorsed anti-SOGI school trustee Barry Neufeld.

7. NPA councillor Melissa De Genova
When Black communities in the US cried out about rampant police violence, white supremacists responded with the "thin blue line" flag to support the racism of the police. De Genova made it her banner on Facebook.
This is totally unacceptable.
