It's a federal issue but keep trying... 300,000 new immigrants every year, easier PR requirements, easier to bring geriatric family members while income is earned overseas. The 300,000 new immigrants are not moving to Flin Flon or Thunder Bay or Prince George (no offence to each city) - the overwhelming majority are moving to Vancouver and Toronto. Look at Wynne in Ontario, her rent controls are compounding the issue and she copied BC in terms of the foreign buyer's tax, it hasn't done anything. The idea the provinces can make housing "affordable" is extremely short-sighted and naive - BC is about to amputate one of their legs above the knee for athlete's foot and they deserve what comes next. The NDP was reduced to two seats 16 years ago for very good reasons and BC is about to find out why the hard way.
