“OneCity emerged out of a deep concern that social inequality is growing, current development policies are making the situation worse, and City Hall is not listening.”
Aquino is best known as a former COPE candidate.
The party says Vancouver’s extensive condo development “erodes the affordability, character, and cultural spaces of the city’s diverse neighbourhoods.”
This year’s election is set for November 15.
