@BobRansford @MattIlich Certainly you must have actually read the letter. Specifically, which points don't make sense to you? Obviously, Bill M216 makes sense for developers, speculators, REITS, lobbyists. But how about for society? Here's the link again. https://t.co/cFXk0TtAaY

[MetroVanWatch @MetroVanWatch]

@BobRansford @MattIlich Which letter opposing Bill M216 (Professional Reliance Act) do you refer to? The letter by 30 urban experts? https://t.co/cFXk0TtAaY Or the letter by the Metro Vancouver MAYORS's Committee, representing half the population of British Columbia? Or some other letter? Which one?

[MetroVanWatch @MetroVanWatch]

Opposition to BC NDP George Anderson member bill (Professional Reliance Act) grows as awareness rises. Here in Delta Optimist. Bill M216 is 'totally unacceptable from all perspectives... reduces local council to pawns.' Write your MLA! Google 'Bill M216' https://t.co/LEYX1wghA5

Can you provide the direct link on your website to the actual rat infestation strategy in your platform? Couldn't find it upon first glance.

[Kareem Allam @kareemformayor]

Scary but true: Vancouver is about to become Canada's rat infestation capital. Rats spread disease. We can't ignore this any longer. Happy Halloween! 👻🎃

@BobRansford @bcndp Which part? The bit about becoming a 'third-world backwater'? Which countries did you have in mind? Conversely, the NDAs imposed, closure invoked, and gagging of debate -- were all done by BC NDP with Bills 13, 14, and 15.
