Vancouver’s Chinatown in a generational divide over Ken Sim’s election as mayor
In Vancouver’s Chinatown, baker Denny Wong is so enthusiastic about mayor-elect Ken Sim that he’s already thinking about 2026.
He will be the first Chinese-Canadian mayor of Vancouver, where more than 28 per cent of the population has Chinese ethnic origins, according to the 2016 census. But for others in the neighbourhood, Sim’s victory is being viewed very differently, from the other side of a generational and political divide.
On a walk through Chinatown after Sim’s win, most business owners who were approached to talk about him said they were happy with his election, though they did not want to comment on the record. “These policies can improve the neighourhood’s safety and boost many business owners’ confidence,” said Kwok. “I believe Sim will be a good mayor.”
“I think, culturally, there is this idea that police are good and police will help, the police are here to serve the people,” said Lau.
