Housing crisis; cost of living; people in the vancouver DTES getting tormented by the police; indigenous people generally not treated well

I can see your point about the housing crisis in a way. It restricts people's ability to have a place to live and, shelter. But does that really affect their freedom? Cost of living also is difficult but it's not really preventing you from being "free" in the sense of the word. Or is it? I may be missing the point.

I'm completely ignorant to policing issues, especially in Vancouver. I generally don't agree with law enforcement having too much control.

In my region of BC the reconciliation stuff has been very well received mostly. Indigenous people are a big part of the community and their culture has expanded into the school system, their businesses are successful. Housing projects for indigenous have also been going on constantly.

Both of our 2.5 parties bleed money without significantly improving quality of life for people at the bottom.
