  1. Look at a map of Canada, then tell me there is no cheap land available. Most of it is called Crown Land, it belongs to the Government.

  4. Urban planning is your answer. Except the UN Under Agenda 21 and 31 doesn’t allow for Urban Sprawl. 20% use the wilderness as their playground what about the rest of the 80% who can’t . Forest fires are set by humans, your burning the BC Forest down. Source of info BC Wildfire Service.

  6. Eby of the NDP wants Municipalities to Fast track Building lots more homes and bypass the Public Hearing process, which can only on occasions be slow. He has set Quotas they must follow. A new bill was introduced you must follow. They want to increase the Density of how you live, More Apartments, Houses stuck close to each other, and no idea of what extra schools or Hospitals, Doctors and Nurses required., and what supporting infrastructure required. He is a Lawyer I’m a an Engineer and a Senior Planner/ Cost Controller. Who has more experience, a blood sucking Lawyer or Someone with more than 30 years of experience..

  8.  @firstandforemost87  they are built in areas where there are Mines, a township is developed for the people that will live and work at the mine, Clinics, Doctors and infrastructure is built. Why don’t you visit one Mining town. LoganLake, BC, 38 km from Kamloops, 48 from Merritt, two larger towns. The Town has 2,300 residents, Canada earns money from Copper exports. Lots of mining communities around BC Quebec Ontario.
