Penticton seems like a great little city... hopefully all the hordes of people fleeing metro van real estate won't ruin your beautiful city / place. Fraser Valley is now pretty much ruined with the housing situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 So the new group of ministers was appointed today... I'm worried that the word "Innovation" was struck from anyone's responsibilities. If we're going to get job creation from new sectors, you need to foster innovation. But the guy they put in for Jobs, Trade and Technology seems like he might be good at supporting new social enterprises so thats good at least - Ralston from Surrey, who I think is involved in Surrey's Innovation Boulevard initiative. Maybe he's a buddy of @kingofsurrey too? It really bugs me that Adrian Dix was rewarded with Health, that's going to be a disaster. But overall its not bad. Don Wright who is running the public service now is actually a very good guy and very smart, and fairly non-partisan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is time for another government to have a go at this massive Housing Crisis... We are going to see even more massive number of homeless people throughout BC cities ..... In July, the average price of rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Vancouver hit $2,090 a month. Similarly, rent for a two-bedroom grew by 2.5 per cent in July to $3,230 a month. http://globalnews.ca/news/3609431/new-record-2090-a-month-is-average-cost-of-one-bedroom-rental-in-vancouver/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
