Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim falsely accused councillor Sean Orr of distributing drugs, sparking backlash and calls for accountability.
Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim falsely claimed in a February 6 briefing that councillor Sean Orr distributed illegal drugs on Christmas Day, a statement Orr denied, saying he was not in Vancouver and called it "blatant disinformation."
The claim, initially shared by Sim and later echoed by ally Lenny Zhou, who apologized, was not disclosed by Sim as his own.
Sim praised Zhou for taking responsibility but did not apologize.
Orr expressed shock, criticized the statement as harmful to the Chinese-speaking community, and said he may pursue legal action.
The incident has raised concerns about misinformation and accountability among public officials.
