Career

According to Wikipedia, Bligh moved to Canada at age ten and founded a consulting practice before entering politics. She was elected to Vancouver city council in 2018 and re-elected in 2022. Her affiliations were the Non-Partisan Association (2018 to 2019), independent (2019 to 2022), ABC Vancouver (2022 to 2025) and Vote Vancouver (from 2025). In February 2025 ABC Vancouver removed her from its caucus after policy disagreements, including her vote against natural gas heating amendments. She announced her mayoral bid in September 2025.

Positions

Wikipedia says she disagreed with Mayor Ken Sim's freeze on supportive housing and said he had abandoned the core principles that drew her to ABC. The Daily Hive describes her platform as centred on affordability, with housing, childcare, transit and public services.
