Seniors losing mobile homes blame B.C. government
CBC - A group of seniors being evicted from their waterfront neighbourhood on Vancouver Island are imploring the B.C. government for help.
The mobile home park they live in has been sold and the seniors - some in their 70s and 80s - have been told to move their trailers out by next May.
"Inhumane is the term that I've used," said resident Joan Auld, 72. "It's inhumane to treat people like this."Auld and her husband, Terry, live at the Saltair Seaside Trailer Park near Ladysmith along with nine other residents. Last year, the property was purchased for $1.9 million by two businessmen who want to rebuild there.

I would like to know why the people believe that the government is at fault. The government did not make them pay rent in the mobile home park. Free enterprize did and when free enterprize sold the land the new owner can do what he wants with the land, as long as he complys with zoning laws.
Maybe what these people want is that the government take them from cradle to grave. The governement can do this but need some more money. Instead of paying a tax rate of 35% maybe it should be 70% of your earned income, to pay for these people that cannot think for themselves
