I struggle with some of the real-life conversations I'm having with people: yes, we are in an affordability crisis and yes, people are struggling to make ends meet. However, we are also in a crisis point with multiple public systems (chiefly healthcare, also education). We must address this #CanPoli

We must make a massive medium-term investment in public infrastructure (prov + municipal) and that money must come from somwhere. I believe that people in my economic position (living comfortably but w/ minimal savings/no equity) and better need to be prepared to open the wallet at tax time #VanPoli

My concern is that the electorate doesn't have the appetite for this; they can recognize the problem but can't stomach the solution. We see this in the 'involuntary treatment' debate: the fact that the system lacks the $ provide voluntary treatment for those who want it seems lost on many #BCPoli
