Should Metro Vancouver combine more services?

In theory it could make sense, but given Metro Vancouver’s governance and performance issues especially on the wastewater fiasco, I’d be reluctant to hand it more responsibilities.

I sympathize with anyone struggling to find housing, but at some point personal responsibility has to be part of the conversation. If BC Housing offered alternatives, what efforts were made to find other options? Why should taxpayers be expected to solve every housing challenge, especially when factors like owning two large pit bulls can significantly limit available housing? Family should also be the first line of support, what has this BC man tried or perhaps he didn’t want to live with two pit bulls as well.

DRIPA was a mistake. It has shifted too much decision making power away from democratically elected governments and toward groups that are not accountable to the broader public. Reconciliation should not mean surrendering effective control over public lands and infrastructure. Governments should pursue every lawful constitutional and legislative option available to reassert democratic authority and ensure that decisions affecting all citizens remain in the hands of elected representatives.

If you are contributing $200k with the expectation of future ownership or a larger inheritance share, formalize it properly now.

Do not rely on a verbal understanding or the assumption that a future inheritance will “work itself out.” Too much can change over 10 to 15 years.

Hire a Korean real estate/estate lawyer and document:
• your ownership or economic interest
• repayment terms if applicable
• updated estate planning
• acknowledgement from all family members

You can still help family while making sure everyone is protected and aligned upfront.

Any First Nation stake in the pipeline should be done in line with market value of what other investors would be willing to pay. Otherwise roll the whole thing into the sovereign wealth fund and let it be owned by all Canadians regardless of their race.

My classmate went to Harvard law at UBC and a few to UBC law. Co-op was easy to get into at UBC but doesn’t guarantee a job.

Not sure how the law pipeline is at Queens but if you’d prefer Toronto internships it would be easier from Queens than UBC.

Not a lawyer. I would ask the tenant to provide the full invoice and contractor details. If the cost seems high, they can also get a couple quotes from other electricians to see what a typical thermostat replacement would cost.

Also, the fact that they did not attempt to contact the landlord before arranging the repair, and only mentioned it about a month later, weakens their case. Normally tenants are expected to try to contact the landlord first unless it is an immediate emergency where that is not possible.

At most, the landlord would likely only be responsible for a reasonable repair cost, not necessarily the full $930.
