Mining companies like Anglo Teck & Artemis are showing their confidence in BC. In 2026, we have many more shovel-ready projects. This means more apprenticeship opportunities, more customers for downtowns, good paying jobs, the ability to purchase a home & a better future.

Metro Vancouver's vacancy rate for private apartments eclipsed 3% this year, the highest it's been in more than 35 years.
The data comes from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation's annual report, which is the gold standard for rental data in the country.

People across BC deserve an affordable place to call home. While the Conservatives want to reverse the progress we’ve made by putting real estate speculators first, we’re focused on making housing more accessible for families.

Cracking down on extortion threats is a big priority for our government. Today I heard directly from business owners on their experiences dealing with this threat.
BC’s Extortion Task Force continues to make progress on these investigations. No one should feel unsafe in their home.

This could threaten thousands of long-term renters and encourage bad faith evictions before next year’s FIFA World Cup.
Rents are down 10% partly because of these STR rules, but the BC Conservatives are trying to weaken and support repealing them entirely.
We won't let them.
