With this graphic, I am doing what Trump did to Hillary Clinton. There was substance to the criticism that she should not have been using a private email server. It was not enough to put her in prison, but it put her on the defensive and required her to explain something she had been trying to keep from becoming an election issue.

Lock Them Up graphic criticizing people who serve big pharma interests over public health

Safe Supply is a pharma hoax and I believe these people know it. Certainly everyone on Hastings including the prescribing doctors knows that nearly all the Safe Supply prescriptions that were written resulted in the pill being sold so more fentanyl could be purchased. That's why they now require everyone to be witnessed consuming them and still the pharmacies often just report that this happens so they can keep their huge compensation flowing. Safe Supply is being pushed for pharma profits, not public health, and anyone who says otherwise is lying or ignorsnt. The public never hears this but I have worked for a DTES pharmacy and know that cash bribes and diversion are rampant and nearly every pharmacy was doing it and certainly every client knew that's what was going on, as did the doctors.

Evidence Deck Research Note

Drug-Supply Disruption and the Ryan Wedding Arrest

The Evidence Deck is examining reported cocaine-price changes following Ryan Wedding’s arrest and comparing them with earlier enforcement actions. The comparison requires verification of quantities, destinations, timing, market conditions and source independence.

One of the questions being examined is whether reported enforcement events of very different sizes produced correspondingly different effects on price or availability.

Any discrepancy does not, by itself, prove that a seizure report was staged. It does provide a reason to independently examine how quantities were calculated, what was actually seized, whether the drugs were destined for Canada, and why different enforcement events may have produced different market effects.

Hello, Vancouver.

I’m Scott Gilbert, and I’m running for mayor because I like solving problems. I want to deliver practical improvements to people’s lives, with results we can measure and evidence people can examine.

I’m also a bit of a comedian, so expect some humour and satire along the way. The issues I’m addressing are serious, and I believe a little humour can sometimes make a bitter pill easier to swallow.

The posters below highlight my platform. I also plan to release a demo of Vancouver City Servant, my live-avatar project, along with Agora, a civic-engagement app designed to give voters a say on matters before council.

About Scott

I studied environmental engineering at the University of Guelph before working as an assistant to Dr. Nancy Olivieri at University Health Network. My work included writing material for her lecture series on the pharmaceutical industry’s influence on academia and public policy.

I moved to Vancouver a decade ago and have lived and worked in the Downtown Eastside for most of that time. My background and firsthand experiences have shaped my practical approach to solving problems and improving public services.

In 2025, I volunteered at Bowser Island in North Vancouver, taking on an informal community role as the island’s “mayor.” I helped arrange sanitation, access to drinking water and fire-safety equipment, and helped provide places for people to live.

I’m eager to put my experience, energy and problem-solving skills to work for the people of Vancouver—the best city on Earth.
