Vancouver councillor sues mayor over false drug accusation made in Feb 2026, claiming reputational harm and political motive.
Vancouver City Councillor Sean Orr has filed a defamation lawsuit against Mayor Ken Sim over false claims Sim made in February 2026, accusing Orr of distributing illegal drugs on Christmas Day during a Chinese-language media briefing.
Orr denies the allegation, saying the remarks, made without verification, caused lasting reputational harm and were politically motivated ahead of the October municipal election.
Sim apologized, admitting he failed to confirm a photo’s authenticity, but Orr argues the damage was done and that neither Sim nor colleague Lenny Zhou shared their apologies on WeChat, where the false claim spread widely.
The lawsuit, filed in B.C.
Supreme Court, alleges malicious intent and seeks damages and a permanent injunction against similar statements.
