A self-identified “communist” who believes parents “don’t have rights” over their children has won a Vancouver city council byelection.
On April 5, the largest amount of votes went to perennial candidate Sean Orr, who has boasted about his far-left views on social media.
Alongside Orr, Vancouver city council candidate and environmental lawyer Lucy Maloney was also elected.
Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and his ABC party, which ran on a platform of being tough on crime, congratulated Orr on social media.
The election presented a blow to ABC Vancouver which saw neither of its two candidates, Jaime Stein and Ralph Kaisers, get elected.
