This shooting in Bondi was an act of antisemitic violence. My heart is with the victims, their families, and Jewish communities in Australia & around the world. No one should live in fear because of who they are. Hate and violence have no place in our societies.

This stuff is so boring so people glaze over it, but this over the top statement is a clear example showing how some municipalities prefer micromanagement over solving the housing crisis.
Let me illustrate what UBCM is pushing back against by using an example from health care.

Local govs are encouraged to give feedback on private member bill M216 as it moves into committee. The bill limits local government due diligence on development proposals, instead letting professionals hired by developers to certify their own projects.

36 years ago, the lives of 14 women were taken at École Polytechnique. Their memory urges us to build a future free of gender-based violence, where everyone can live and learn in safety.

One year ago, we lost Premier John Horgan, a leader who met the moment for B.C. with courage, humility, and heart.
He believed in young people and pushed all of us to dream bigger for this province. John’s example still guides us.

🏠 BC has made real progress on housing, but young people still face steep barriers.
I’ve introduced a bill to speed up permits, cut costs, & get more homes built faster.
📹 Watch the video to see how it helps the next generation succeed, and share if you agree.
