When@cbc Hockey Night in Canada cameras show celebrating Edmonton Oilers & Winnipeg Jets fans I am so ashamed & embarrassed for City of Vancouver & Mayor Ken Sim. Yes, The 2011 riot was a terrible event for our city but surely we are capable of organizing a safe hockey night in Vancouver.
About those 3.9M housing starts
'major developers have decided to go on strike. They're not going to build in BC.'
I wonder if those wanting affordable housing/rents will finally understand where the problem is...government.
Of course not the partisans.

.Ravi Kahlon is absolutely right. While I prefer to be non-partisan, 2008 Liberal Housing Minister really screwed up Little Mountain deal. Holborn Properties is equally to blame. Let's hope things get sorted out. But in the meantime can Holborn please replace disgusting hoarding.
Given all the forthcoming Building Code changes requiring 100% accessibility, combined with other electical & energy code changes, and increased Metro Vancouver & municipal fees, I heard tonight many major developers have decided to go on strike. They're not going to build in BC.
Yesterday Council approved an important report re provincial housing legislation with an amendment. I gather it was distributed by Christine Boyle before the meeting but never read out or revealed to the public. Can Vancouver City Clerk please let us know what it said? Thx Dan Fumano
A lot of people eagerly awaiting a Conversations That Matter discussion between David Eby and Oh Boy Productions Stu McNish. This should be both informative and entertaining!
