As of 11:08 on Friday, CBC BC Foodbank Day has raised $730,110.37 for foodbanks across BC.
Times are tough, stuff is expensive, rent is ridiculous.
And yet the generosity of people is astounding.
Thank You!

In campaigning Ken Sim told the Shaughnessy Heights Property Owners' Association he would fight the BC NDP progressive property tax and make condo owners pay the same rate as mansion owners.

Increasing taxes for the majority of Vancouverites to save people in $3M+ houses a few bucks.

The province just announced their Transit-Oriented Area housing policy, to be added on to their Multiplex policy from last week. Big news in Housing in BC!
