Gord Johns :“Where I will be a voice is ensuring that this government doesn’t just see the priority in Vancouver and Toronto for affordable housing and that the needs for affordable housing are affecting even remote, small communities like Tofino and Ucluelet.”
Johns said he recently met with Tofino mayor Josie Osborne and was inspired by her commitment to figure out solutions.
“The mayor is determined to deal with affordable housing,” he said.
Affordable Housing. This issue is critical for tourist-based economies like 1 Parksville and Totino, where I served both on Council and as the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce. The short-sighted decision of the Conservative government to abolish the long-form census has placed local governments at a distinct disadvantage in their ability to understand the socio-economic characteristics within their jurisdiction and to plan for the future. This applies especially to the fulfillment of the right of all Canadians to housing. During my seven years on the Attainable Housing Committee in Totino, I came to appreciate affordability as a critical variable in attracting and retaining families; and, in supporting an aging population. An NOP government will: Push for a National Housing Strategy as Canada is the only GB country without one; Push to recognize housing as a right of all Canadians; and, Provide incentives to build 10,000 affordable and market rental units.
The party, the man, the house. Consistent tendency here. Maintenance issues. Basically a dump. A fixer upper at best. Glossed over showy features designed to snow the innocent, while the foundations are unstable.
I am glad to see those on the left embracing capitalism with vigour ! Some of the "Free Lunch and House" crowd would have Mr Johns donate his house to a collective of Trotskyites. Nothing wrong with a little profit !!
And people thought he would represent this area? Fools. The local electorate has been used to launch him onto the Ottawa gravy train.

From the Scott Fraser school of socialism.Sell your property at a price that is within the reach of the working class.

ReplyDelete9:08, are you saying Mr. Johns underpinnings are rotten to the core? Bravo.
ReplyDeleteYour quite correct Ralph, "nothing wrong" nothing at all. And while we are at it, "Four legs good, two legs better".
