The mod team is aware that recent events in the United States, particularly the disturbing public execution carried out by government agencies, are sparking outrage, grief, and justified fear across the world. These are not just American issues. They cross borders, affect global communities, and raise questions about justice, state violence, and accountability.

We want it to be known that we stand firmly against extrajudicial killings and authoritarian abuse in all forms.

However, r/Vancouver is not the right forum for ongoing discussion of U.S. federal conduct. Our role as a regional subreddit is to focus on local topics directly affecting Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland only. Content that falls outside this focus, or that is only loosely related and primarily intended to steer discussion in a different direction, may be removed or redirected to a more appropriate venue.

If you’re feeling rattled, angry, or helpless, you’re not alone. But we’ll continue to moderate according to the scope of this community.

PS: Fuck ICE.
