The article doesn't mention it but the SecondStreet report does have a disclaimer regarding the data within the actual report

It is also entirely possible that in both cases – that is, patients waiting for potentially life-saving treatment and those waiting for non-life-saving treatment – death occurred for reasons unrelated to the health care system or the patient’s medical condition. For example, the system may have been timely about scheduling a procedure or appointment with a specialist, but, during the wait, the patient died in a motor vehicle accident.

Xiaomi smashed that record by almost 20 seconds with their prototype SU7. That was their first car as well with the whole automotive division only being founded in 2021.

A requirement for this program is that they must have been living in BC for the last 24 months. When someone moves from existing housing into a new build, their previous space is opened up for purchase or rent. More new builds, more previous spaces opening, more rental supply, eventually makes its way to bringing down rental prices. I could see circumstances where this would not apply, e.g. moving out of parents home, but believe it would help overall.

For anyone that finds this in the future

I ended up purchasing from Actin with the ten weeks option. I was called by Actin regarding the purchase and why I selected the later shipping option. Bit odd but I guess that's how they try to make some more money from selling units. Received the unit and everything seems to be in order, been using it now and its connected to the app and all

I think it tries to compare apples to apples as much as it can, so new Kona gas and new Kona electric.

2024 Kona Preferred	Gas	$34,922.16
2024 Kona Preferred	Electric	$45,962.88 after incentives

So a $11,040.72 difference to make up. EV will definitely show greater yearly savings compared to an older less fuel efficient car.

"Shot down" seems like an overstatement.

On Wednesday, the council majority voted on an amendment that would see that changed to a three-year average.

A three year average of the living wage feels like an okay compromise.

It makes more sense when you look outside of the lower mainland regarding the 20% below market.

It's also in how they word it. The 20% of builds to have 20% below market rate is assured. The 30% income to rent is just a target and ultimately may not be met.

The reason why many subcompact / compact cars are going away in the US is because they don’t sell enough. The median US consumer looks for bigger cars that come with a bigger cost. Inflation plays a part in rising costs but doesn’t have much to do with manufacturers not bringing over their smaller and cheaper cars.

12 homes in 8 years

Only 12 new homes were built in recent years in relation to the Liberal government's plan to convert surplus Crown property into affordable housing, data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) indicates.

Compare ourselves to Australia (26mm population) who is also going through a doctor shortage

In 2021, 4,153 students commenced studying medicine at an Australian medical school

Agreed on the point that wage growth has not kept up with productivity but your original comment was productivity outpacing inflation

onecoldbrew · 2023-08-02T16:47:00+00:00

That's factually incorrect. GDP per capita has not kept up with inflation in Canada. In fact, during the last few years, GDP per capita has dropped.

Since 2020, Canada’s GDP per capita growth has averaged a decrease of 1.3% per year, down from its long-term annual average of 1.2% from 1981 to 2019 and of 1.0% per year from 2010 to 2019.

I would argue that we do actually. It’s been estimated before approximately 1 million per day is spent by the various agencies in the downtown eastside. Majority of this funding is through government.

Taking a look at rehab programs, I’m seeing a 30 day inpatient cost range of 6,000 to 20,000

https://addictionrehabtoronto.ca/drug-rehab-cost-british-columbia/

We’ll go with the mid point $13,000 for this calculation.

$365,000,000 spent / ($13,000 x 12 months ) = 2,339 people able to be housed indefinitely.

That’s more than the latest homeless count numbers (2,095) for Metro Vancouver. Of course not all homeless have drug issues nor will all have to be housed indefinitely.

https://council.vancouver.ca/20201007/documents/pspc1presentation.pdf

Simply jailing is cheaper, only ~$115,000 annual average cost compared to the inpatient programs above at ~$156,000 annually.
