In 2023, Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre posted a tweet comparing Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 Tent City to a third-world country. The video he tweeted was criticized as exploiting vulnerable people for political gain. Poilievre said that while Kelowna is a beautiful city, people are 91裸聊视频渟pilling out into the streets91裸聊视频� and living in tents.

At the time, Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 Community Safety Director Darren Caul said the tweet was disappointing and pointed out that the city continues to work tirelessly with BC Housing and its not-for-profit partners to find housing solutions for people experiencing homelessness.
