OneCity Vancouver
OneCity Vancouver is a municipal political party in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was founded in 2014 by David Chudnovsky and Rafael Joseph Aquino, former members of the left-wing Coalition of Progressive Electors (COPE). The party's first elected candidate was Carrie Bercic, who placed eighth in a race for all nine open seats on the Vancouver School Board in the 2017 Vancouver by-election. In October 2018, Christine Boyle was elected as the first OneCity member of Vancouver City Council. Political positions. The party's platform deals with social inequality, inclusive communities, improving public schools, the  opioid epidemic, and affordable housing. OneCity supports the introduction of a land value tax to both generate revenue for public housing projects and curb real estate speculation. OneCity, together with four other progressive municipal parties (including COPE, Vision Vancouver, and the Green Party), agreed to a deal brokered by the Vancouver District Labour Council to avoid vote splitting in the 2018 municipal election by limiting each party's number of candidates.
