A cellphone isn\u2019t a luxury. It\u2019s a necessity for life and work today. But billing is too complicated, and people \u2013 from students to seniors \u2013 are paying too much for this essential service.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why John Horgan has put Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Bob D\u2019Eith in charge of standing up to Ottawa, making sure you know your rights, and getting a better deal for British Columbians.<\/p>\n

The time has come to replace confusing contracts and hidden fees with fairer, more-transparent cellphone options. If you agree, please send a message by adding your name today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Public transit cuts down on congestion and pollution \u2013 and helps you get where you want to be, on time. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve made improving transit infrastructure a major priority.<\/p>\n

In 2019, there were over 50 million boardings on the Canada Line. Now, 12 new trains are being added, which will provide more space, frequency, and comfort on this hugely popular service.<\/p>\n

Bowinn Ma, Parliamentary Secretary for TransLink: \u201cThis service increase is one more example of how our shared goal of reliable and efficient transit is making a difference for people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Everyone deserves a safe, affordable home. But the BC<\/span> Liberals all but ignored this most basic human need, creating a housing crisis across BC<\/span> \u2013 and especially in Vancouver.<\/p>\n

They left us with a huge challenge, but we\u2019re making progress. A new report shows that the Speculation Tax has contributed to a landmark increase in condos for rent.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re further increasing Vancouver\u2019s supply of affordable rentals by building 3,500 new homes, including 102 units for seniors and families on Southwest Marine Drive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
