Promises / Commitments and evidence
## Commitments and the available evidence.
Published positions and selected commitments, separated by election cycle. Status labels describe the evidence reviewed, not a numerical score or a complete audit of the platform. Council approval is different from delivery.
8 commitments shown · Checked Sep 22
Earlier term · HousingCampaign pledge
### Rental housing for people earning under $80,000
In the 2025 by-election profile Dubé called for rental housing aimed at people earning less than $80,000 a year, with rent set at 30 percent of income, and named Rodden Lodge as a model, to serve seniors and essential workers among others.
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.

Earlier term · Small businessCampaign pledge
### Ground floor shops in new housing
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.

### Solar, wind and walkable neighbourhoods
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.

Earlier term · GovernanceCampaign pledge
### Governing with kindness and accountability
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.
- What still needs checking
- Which council behaviours or decisions Dubé points to as the problem.

Daily Hive · September 22, 2026
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.
