Critics fear Carney’s housing minister will nationalize Vancouver’s housing crisis
Carney’s appointment of former Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson as Canada’s new housing minister has sparked fears that he may implement the same disastrous housing policies nationally.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s appointment of former Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson as Canada’s new housing minister has sparked fears that he may implement the same disastrous housing policies nationally that contributed to Vancouver’s affordability crisis.
Vancouver realtor Jay Coupar called Robertson in an interview with True North a “complete failure on all fronts” as mayor.
“When I first saw that he was appointed, I thought it was a joke,” said Coupar. “He’s probably the worst mayor second only to Kennedy Stewart, a complete abysmal failure on all fronts. He made all kinds of promises that he didn’t deliver on.”
