VREP #501 | BC's Biggest Threat is Not Housing with Mayor Brad West

Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West is challenging just about every orthodoxy about our province’s future and British Columbians are taking notice. Brad sits down this week with Adam & Matt to challenge the housing crisis narrative, expose how provincial mandates are destroying local communities, lament BC abandoning its resource wealth for service sector stagnation, and reveal why the Cowichan decision poses a greater threat than any housing shortage. From secret provincial legislation developed without consulting a single mayor to court rulings that undermine property ownership itself, West argues BC is living through a historic moment of reckoning. We need a different path forward. What's really causing affordability pain? Why are housing units sitting vacant while family homes are no longer being built? And can a small city mayor articulate a better path forward than Victoria? This one is for all British Columbians!
