Captain Chaos, also known as Premier David Eby, has struck again with botched strata legislation that is causing fear, confusion and concern among strata councils throughout British Columbia.
The NDP’s legislation, which removed age restrictions and requires buildings to accept renters has led to strata councils across the province increasingly moving to adopt a loophole limiting residency to those 55 years old and above. At the time, Eby argued this legislation would help people of all ages find affordable homes, but it seems that he has grossly miscalculated the impact of these changes. Instead of helping to alleviate the housing crisis, these changes are causing further distress for both strata councils and young families looking for homes.
I have been meeting with constituents that are angry at the NDP’s so-called solution to B.C.’s housing crisis, which seems to have only worsened the situation.
This failed legislation is a consequence of David Eby’s blatant lack of respect for B.C.’s democratic processes. The NDP government abruptly ended the parliamentary session last fall and forced these major political decisions through with no accountability, no consultation, and limited opportunity for the Opposition to ask questions. The NDP chose to ram through this significant legislation without doing their due diligence and without talking to the people who would actually be impacted by the changes.
