Rental housing for people earning under $80,000

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This comes from the candidate's own 2025 VoteMate profile. The 2026 VoteMate profile is empty and no 2026 platform statement was found, so it is not established that this remains the position for the 2026 race.
What still needs checking
Whether Dubé restates this for 2026, and how many homes the plan would cover.
In the 2025 by-election profile Dubé proposed street-level commercial units in new housing buildings for independent cafes, salons, corner stores, art studios, daycares and medical offices.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This comes from the candidate's own 2025 VoteMate profile. The profile gives no zoning change or rent control mechanism to make the space affordable for small tenants.
What still needs checking
What rule would keep those ground floor units affordable for independent businesses.
In the 2025 by-election profile Dubé called for more solar panels, more wind energy and more walkable neighbourhoods so that Vancouver leads on sustainability.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This comes from the candidate's own 2025 VoteMate profile. No target, cost or timeline is given, and electricity generation in British Columbia is a provincial matter.
What still needs checking
What a city council can do directly on energy generation, and what Dubé would fund.
In the 2025 by-election profile Dubé said the aim is a council that supports all Vancouver residents whatever their age, sex or income, that treats people with respect, and that holds the mayor to account on social programs for people in difficulty.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This comes from the candidate's own 2025 VoteMate profile and is a statement of approach rather than a specific measure.

Vancouver's 2026 civic election candidate list is set: All 130 names in ballot order
The published ballot order places Dubé at number 151 for council with no party listed. This is the only journalism found that names the candidate in the 2026 race.
Sources checked September 22, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
No campaign website, social media account or platform statement was found for the 2026 race. The 2026 VoteMate profile carries no biography and no promises, so every policy item above comes from the profile Dubé filed for the April 2025 by-election and may no longer hold. None of the biographical claims, including the cafe ownership, the New West Pride role and the Elections Canada work, were confirmed by an independent source, because the only source for them is the candidate's own profile. The City of Vancouver site refuses automated requests, so the official candidate list and nomination papers could not be opened. No news article, interview or forum appearance naming Dubé was found beyond the ballot list.
