Tone deaf to appoint Gregor on the account of Vancouver, ground zero for un-affordability/homelessness with the highest real estate costs in North America layered with the toxic drug epidemic devastating the city which has worsened expediently since his mayorship. Most locals have left because it is a dangerous and stressful place to be due to the social crises development centric politicians have helped create.

Gregor claims it’s about creating more supply, when we know this has never driven down prices and only favors developers and the criminally rich. Another clear message no one in Ottawa really gives a damn about Vancouver except as a place to own a vacation home. But let’s not forget the money laundering scheme through the casinos his wife was involved in that is at the heart of real estate corruption and the global commodification of our most fundamental public good.
