    I’m glad we have at least one Premier and Housing Minister that understand the issue of housing correctly.

    Edit: you should look at Eby’s reaction to the question about the letter from the Vancouver Sun journalist, and listen to Eby’s full answer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wemiX8ammXk&t=23m10s

    The Vancouver Sun is American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.

    "We want to allow foreign investors to invest in these projects so we can get them built (said Kevin Layden, president of Vancouver-based developer Wesbild).

    Bullshit. You just want the foreign money rolling in like it has for the past 35+ years.

    Go fuck yourself.
