This is a smart move by the province. Giving a housing operator the power to kick out problem tenants and guests living in supportive housing makes sense - for everyone. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/06/30/bc-…

It’s disturbing and weird when you run across a guy you went to high school with living in his car in #NorthVan. He spent 40 years working as a mechanic on Pemberton St and now can’t afford anywhere to live. Good story by @GraceKeGlobal globalnews.ca/video/11248876…
