Vincent St. Pierre 🇨🇦There are councillors who are advocating for exiting affordable housing as a city.
I'm gobsmacked.
Have we fallen so low? Just stunned by some of these councillors.

I'll be speaking on Panel 8.
Because this city is about its people: and, to make sure that they are successful -- in business, in starting families and living their best life -- we need to take on issues head-on. #yycHousing
This city has done it before. This is that time again. #yyc #yyccc #yycHousing
Vincent, what are you doing with regards to the housing affordability taskforce recommendations debate at city hall, you ask?

Calgary is in a housing crisis.
Tell our politicians that we need to act now, pass the recommendations by the task force and take action.
I just sent in my letter.
Housing insecurity is awful.
Thinking about all of the students heading to university this fall. #yyc #yychousing #yyccc #ableg #abpoli #HousingCrisis #cdnpoli

Dee In CalgaryBack at the end of April, we were notified that our lease would not be renewed.
At first we were going to look for a new rental. We quickly discovered the rental market in Calgary is inflated, very scarce and full of scammers.
Luckily, we were able to qualify for a mortgage.
It is mind boggling how much easier it was to purchase than rent. There are so many people that this is not an option for. I have no idea what the solution is, but we need to find one #yyc #yycrentals #yychousing
