Liberal utopia.

I have a friend who was renting same apartment since the late 80's it was $400 a month now that same place went up to $3200 a month he went back to Saskatchewan.

If we have a housing crisis, why do we let over 3,000 migrants per day into the country?
-
I'm sure a million more migrants and 900K rich international students will help out.

I work with the public, for the city. I am seeing people with genuine physical disabilities being turned down for housing, while immigrated new arrivals are receiving housing. People with addictions have taken over the YM and YWCA's. We need a screening process that allows disabled people the priority to have housing. This is not the Canada I was a part of. If you have a substance abuse problem, you piss in a cup, every three days. If you fail, you are out. If you don't you begin your job search adventure, then get a job. As far as immigration, once the political tensions have deescalated, move back home. If you violate the terms of your stay, back home you go. If you are healthy, get a job. If you are here as a single mother, and a man is living in your home, back home you go. Let's start looking after the ones in serious need first. Triage if you will. NOBODY with a disability needs to suffer in my Canada.

You get what you vote for.. Let’s spend money on more important issues: Maybe Send more billions to Ukraine 🇺🇦 Give the tax money to organized crime and drug dealers ( so called “safe supply “)

You can not just give a person with addiction issues an apartment or it will be a crack house within a week.

If I was homeless in Vancouver, the only thing that would piss me off was all the other homeless people. I would probably live deep in the forest and eat bear meat.

Vancouver can't even afford to live in Vancouver.

That woman handing application is a golden person

Thank the government you get what you vote for

We should make shelter in the parliament building
-
Maybe, just maybe, we should not enable these people,... Maybe just maybe?

Trouble on every side when the wicked are exalted.

Surprise! Surprise! Vancouver is one of the warmest cities in Canada during the winter. Winter is coming and the homeless migration has begun. California has the same problem in the U.S.

Everything under the NDP is worse than before they took power. Crime is up, homelessness, drug addiction and overdoses, health care, housing, the cost of living, taxes,and yet people in BC continue to put up with their incompetence. Oh, and economists are predicting BC will the bottom of rung when it comes to economic growth in the next two years.

Canadians need to force their government to take care of Canadians first. That is their primary function, and the reason they are elected. Enough is enough.

No adult who did not see this coming 20 years ago is currently unemployed or homeless.

What do you mean free drugs didn't fix the world lmfao
