Adam Olsen blames the housing crisis on the former B.C. Liberal government stating B次元官网网址渢hey allowed the situation to erodeB次元官网网址�. This ignores the fact that affordable housing is a problem in all major cities in the world.

The mayors and councils of the Districts of North Saanich and Central Saanich and the Town of Sidney all sent letters to Mr. Olsen requesting he obtain an exemption from the speculation tax for the Peninsula. I know many North Saanich residents who did the same.

A clear majority of respondents to the speculation tax question in the Peninsula B次元官网网址 Review said they do not support the tax. Mr OlsenB次元官网网址檚 response? B次元官网网址淭o work with the BC NDP government to encourage them to communicate their initiatives betterB次元官网网址�.

The recent byelection results in Nanaimo would indicate that it is the BC Green Party that has the communication problem and until they stand up for the wishes of the electorate they will continue to finish a distant third.
