It shouldn’t cost hundreds of dollars to fill a family vehicle with gas. People shouldn’t have to choose between buying groceries and making rent at the end of the month. But as B.C. slips further into the current affordability crisis, this is the unfortunate reality for far too many British Columbians.
Whether you live in Abbotsford, Prince George, Victoria or Vancouver, life is more expensive than ever. The price of groceries, gas, and housing have all skyrocketed in the last few years, and our province and British Columbians are reaching a breaking point.
For years now, people have looked to government to provide some sort of relief as even the bare necessities become out of reach. But despite repeated promises from the NDP, British Columbians are still waiting for action, growing more impatient and distrusting of government in the process.
People are not just disappointed the NDP has failed to provide any meaningful relief — but they also feel deceived and misled by a government that came to power specifically promising to “make life more affordable.” Just over five years later, it’s clear that by nearly every metric, life has become more expensive under the NDP. They didn’t just fail to honour their promise but stood by as the opposite became true.
