Keep an eye on @BradWestPoCo claiming the moral high ground while pursuing policies which are offside with key fundamentals. Adding a host of new restrictions on rental providers is politically opportunistic but will leave many victims in its wake over the long run. #bcpoli

1/ Background. Brad West announced the City of Port Coquitlam is taking action on “predatory” renovictions. Further, He told The Tri-City News that “kicking renters out then doubling their housing costs after improvements are made is “immoral”.
