I just thought I'd share this because I found this absolutely crazy. Like I could have never guessed that this is real.

Juicy quotes:
"The BC NDP’s own rules state that when a self-identifying white male MLA over the age of 40 does not run again then the next candidate for the party must be from an equity-seeking group."
"In 2017, the Vancouver Sun reported on Columbia River-Revelstoke candidate Gerry Taft. Taft was married to a woman and identified as bisexual and therefore qualified for the election."
"In the same election, Skeena candidate Bruce Bidgood qualified for the policy because of deafness."

Our latest article from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program provides a new measure of housing affordability, the price-to-income ratio. This indicator links the price of a property sold to the income of its buyers. This measure is available for the first time in Canada and provides a disaggregated view of the financial burden faced by homebuyers.
Higher price-to-income ratios indicate a larger financial burden, requiring buyers to be more indebted or to rely on additional capital for their purchase. The price-to-income ratio can be evaluated over time, with these findings serving as a point of comparison to quantify the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on housing affordability in Canada.
Here are a few key findings:
- Buyers in the lowest income quintile purchased the most expensive properties relative to their income in 2018. This was especially true in Vancouver, where the lowest-income earners purchased properties priced 29 times higher than their income.
- The median price-to-income ratio of properties purchased by those in the lowest quintile was almost four times higher in the census metropolitan area of Vancouver (28.6) than in Halifax (7.3) and over six times higher than in Moncton (4.4).

Notre plus récent article du Programme de la statistique du logement canadien présente un nouvel indicateur sur l’abordabilité du logement, le ratio prix-revenu. Cet indicateur associe le prix de la propriété au revenu de son ou ses acheteurs. Cette mesure est disponible pour la première fois au Canada, et elle donne une indication importante du fardeau qui pèse sur les acheteurs de propriétés.
Un ratio prix-revenu plus élevé indique un fardeau financier plus import

- Personal gatherings must be limited to either 2 households or 1 household plus 10 guests, and everyone aged 12+ must be fully vaccinated.
- All sports tournaments (for both youth and adult sports) and related travel will be paused.
- Venues that can hold 1,000+ people will be limited to 50% capacity.
- All organized New Years’ Eve parties are cancelled no matter the size (Dr. Henry said that restaurants can still serve seated, no-mingling dinners; the official release states that all NYE "organized gatherings and events will be restricted to being seated-only events").
- Patrons at restaurants will not be allowed to mingle between tables.
- The BC vaccine card will be required for all events—not just the ones that have more than 50 guests.
None of these restrictions apply to religious gatherings, which can still operate at 100% capacity when everyone is vaccinated, and at 50% if they choose to include unvaccinated people.
