Interesting story. 
"Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver said his party is disappointed the NDP has not introduced any legislation to curb unaffordable housing prices..."  One of the first of a potentially very looooong list of future disappointments, I suspect. Critical decision by Weaver: continue to attempt change from within, or vent frustration and anger publicly?

Liberal MLA and leadership candidate jumps in to say government can better "improve affordability by increasing the supply of new homes," as foreign buyers "only participate in 5 per cent of Metro Vancouver's tight market." Thank you, Mr. de Jong. And I'm NOT being facetious. Even more interesting to see what 5% means in actual numbers. But, any details on increasing supply? Maybe a 3 or 5-point campaign plan?
