$1.70 a litre in BC

The question was "how much more does it cost to build the same house in Vancouver than Calgary?"
It is to anyone that gets out once in a while. Cities are often called by their airport designation for convenience.
It's pretty obvious that we've struck a nerve with buddy what with all of the multiple posts, the deflection on the main topic and lots of name calling.
All the same, it's a giant gap between the regional prices. A 70 cent spread is massive
I'm grateful that the folks in YVR are willing and happy to pay that price on behalf of all north americans.

Would it not have been easier to pay for kids Autism treatment in Ontari-owe if LIE-berals had not wasted a BILLION dollars on the gas plant scandal???????
Would it not be easier to pay our bills if LIE-berals had not decided that hugely costly green energy price gouging was the solution to our govt debt problems?????
And would it not be easier to pay our bills if LIE-berals had not spent so very much money BUYING civil service union HOG votes???????????????
Why is it that the people who are most likely to tell us not to worry about our huge debts- are the very people who benefit most from that govt debt?????????
Why is it that teachers cry about Ford education cuts - even though his budget is two billion dollars HIGHER than the LIE-beral version????????????????
No wonder our kids cannot do math when their teachers consider a two billion dollar add on AS A CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How is it that teachers cry about the Ford mandated “devastation” in schools -but it is actually SCHOOL BOARDS who will be making most of the cuts - to support staff, school cleaning and to heat and maintenance in order to give teachers the gravy they feel entitled to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it fair that teachers with their monopoly stranglehold on education - should be able to FORCE elected leaders to cannibalize other sections of the system in order to dig up MORE GRAVY FOR TEACHERS????????????????????????
Toronto Sun writer Christina Blizzard did an article on the gross IMBALANCE Wynne-bag LIE-berals were promoting - in which funding for teachers rose FIFTY PERCENT FASTER than did funding for health - IN SPITE of the falling number of kids in our school system - and the SOARING NUMBER of patients needing medical care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it fair to sick people that LIE-berals have decided that it is easier to buy votes from the education system than from the health care system and thus patients can be LIE-berally SCREWED with rationed health care - based on LIE-beral lust for power and need for votes??????????????????????????
Why is it that when a civil servant getting ONE THIRD MORE pay than a person in the private sector doing the same job- has a wage freeze- it is a sign of Conservative govt dictatorship - but when a govt union with a monopoly stranglehold on an essential service GOES TO WAR with our elected govt for more gravy -the HOGS Claim they are merely asking for fairness???????????????
How fair is it that a bunch of HOGS - who represent ONLY A MINORITY OF CDNS feel entitled to BULLY an elected govt that is struggling to keep us from sliding into bankruptcy thanks to RECORD levels of LIE-beral debt????????????
Teachers tell us that if they do not get the gravy they are demanding - then our KIDS WILL SUFFER- with lower graduation rates and lesser job skills!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do teachers not care that they sound just like MAFIA GOONS selling their “protection service” to shop owners?????????????????????
Maybe the time has come to let the druggies make up THEIR minds as to whether THEY want to live or die. It's going to come to that anyway the way things are going!
The really really sad part is they are an industry that employs 3 people per junkie in social support.
After a string of people with disabilities were robbed in Downtown Eastside Vancouver, a cop did a week in a wheelchair and video survelailled.
It became a fluff piece on the news about how nice and caring people were to him.
The reality check?
He wasn't down there selling his pills so he could afford to buy groceries and pay rent. If he were the news story would have had impact on how people with disabilities are forced to live in BC.
Look closer at Trudeau's housing campaign. It's not targeted at the guy in the wheelchair who is forced to sell his medications to live with dignity.
The new Mayor ran on housing. Why? Because he had no clue how good people end up down there until his sister with MS wound up down there selling her meds to survive.

A police officer who posed as a disabled man to catch thieves plaguing Vancouver's troubled Downtown Eastside was hit with unexpected kindness and compassion instead.
Police launched the undercover assignment last spring after a string of attacks and robberies against people in wheelchairs.
The rest of the article will give you a toothache from being so sweet.

TCHC is the best definition of insanity
By Sue-Ann Levy

Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ News/ Toronto & GTA
A report to the Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) board Thursday shows that outstanding arrears jumped 12.3% from last July to the same time this year.
(In other words the number of tenants learning to game the system is INCREASING EVERY YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The dollar value climbed to an obscene $15.4-million from $13.7-million last year, says the report, which also shows that 9,900 or some 17% of all units in the TCHC portfolio are in arrears.
(Uh huh- and one wonders how many of those arears units are held by gang bangers who are DELIGHTED that TCHC has decided it CANNOT EVICT them for any reason “since they have no other place to go” and are dependent on govt!!!
CEO Kevin Marshman conceded that 2/3 of those arrears have gone beyond 30 days and 1/3 beyond 120 days.
(Ah yes- just like civil service union HOG demands - ever UPWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
This is abundantly shown by the fact that, as noted Thursday, the average value of arrears now going to the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) has jumped by 31% or is now an average of $3,640.
That equates to nearly 10 months rent if you consider average TCHC rents are around $400 per month.
(Isnt it ODD how govt keeps telling us they are aiming for 2 percent inflation - but then IF we get a pay raise it is maybe one percent - and when HOGS want money it always ends up as 3 percent or more - meaning 300 percent higher pay raises for HOGS than we get?? With such numbers - it takes only a few years for HOGS to be getting WAY MORE weekly PAY than we ever will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
“There is a delay getting to address initial arrears that are coming,” Marshman said.
No kidding.
But what really made me realize that TCHC is the best definition of insanity — that is, saying or doing the same thing and expecting a different result — was Marshman’s explanation for the delay.
(This is LIE-beral policy in action- Socialist minded LIE-berals are bullies who tax harass us because we are busy and have lives and no time to stand up to them - but the gang bangers will not be bullied- they have no real job and own nothing and have nothing to lose - so they can afford to defy the HOGS - especially since LIE-berals REFUSE to evict non payers or convicted criminals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
When asked by board member John Campbell whether there is an action plan in place to reverse this, the CEO said the arrears are “structurally designed to go up” — blaming the 2010 eviction and death of Al Gosling and the subsequent 2013 and 2014 Ombudsman reports for their focus on maintaining tenancies instead of evicting tenants for non-payment of rent.
(Gosling was a sick old man- exactly the sort of CLIENT that TCHC was designed to help- and rather senile Gosling failed to properly fill out some govt paperwork- and lost a portion of his meagre income - and then fell behind in his rent payments and NO HOG could be bothered talking to him or finding out what was wrong!!!!)
(But our brave and ALWAYS socially responsible HOGS are not afraid of a sick old man and so they EVICTED Gosling- and he was to tired and bewildered to seek other aid and so he curled up out of sight on the cold concrete in a stairwell of the building he used to live in - and DIED THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Remember Gosling the next time TCHC tells us they cannot evict gang bangers- and MUST give them some place to live -even IF THEY DON’T PAY RENT!!!!!)
“At TCHC we try to maintain tenancies … we are negotiating repayment agreements and (that means) we stay in arrears,” Marshman said.
Fact is, while interim CEO in May of 2017 he said pretty much the same thing — blaming the shifted focus and the repayment process for the $12.9-million in arrears, which were 14% higher than the year before.
(This is ONE MAJOR REASON why Toronto Silly Hall wants MORE GRAVY from Ford!! So they can cover their fiscal MADNESS!! Why are we supplying rent free housing to THUGS????????????????????????)
As I wrote at the time, the 10,332 units in arrears comprised the same 18.9% noted by the Ombudsman for 2012 when she penned her two reports.
Clearly, there is no action plan.
(Action plan?? SURE there is- it is this: BUY VOTES for LIE-berals at any price - and grab GRAVY FOR HOGS - regardless of debt levels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
LEVY: Everything old at TCHC is new again
EDITORIAL: Evict the criminals from Toronto’s social housing
LEVY: Same story, different day at TCHC
LEVY: Empire building alive and well at TCHC
TCHC officials are not the slightest bit proactive about following up with tenants who let their rents slide. I’d venture to say they are downright lazy about doing so, and would further suggest if it was their own money we’d see an entirely different attitude.
(Reality is you cannot get rent money fro a drug addict who has already spent the welfare cheque!! And you cannot get rent money from a gang banger if you are afraid to approach and ask for money!! TCHC impotence reveals the ugly under belly of all LIE-beral policy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Marshman said there were things within the arrears process they could do better and that they are conducting a “significant review” of the process.
However, given that he knew about the problem in May of 2017 and did nothing, I don’t hold much hope.
The same goes for safety and security measures.
The report notes that between July 2018 and this year, there has been a 62% increase in crimes against property. Crimes against people were up 24% and serious violent incidents jumped 50%.
(Well - this does explain why TCHC is not wasting money on building repairs!!!!! Why spend scarce HOG gravy on repairs- just to satisfy thugs and vandals who don’t believe they should have to pay rent in any case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Its just too bad about the sick and crippled old folks like Gosling who are trapped in this mess and cannot escape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Marshman said that’s due in part to the increased presence of Community Safety officers which TCHC officials make tenants feel more “confident” reporting the crimes.
That may be so.
But when Marshman was asked about the “solve” rates of those crimes that are report, he said he didn’t know the answer.
(Uh huh- and would YOU report a crime if you knew the Safety Officers went home at 4pm and the THUGS you reported would be at your door at 6pm to forcefully discuss your ideas about “social responsibility”?? TCHC tenants have been complaining for YEARS - about how thugs intimidate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Senior security official Allan Britton told the board the police investigate most of the crimes that occur on their property, and then he would ask the police to let them know whenever a crime is solved.
For heaven’s sake, what is wrong with TCHC officials?
(The only honest solution is SEPARATION of thugs and victims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Given the heavy demands on police, would it not be far better for TCHC security officials to be proactive and follow-up with police — especially considering security is supposed to be a priority.
To reiterate: TCHC is the best definition of insanity.
(TCHC is simply doing it best to manage - within the INSANE Social Justice Warrior frame work set up by power mad and vote hungry LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
