Change.
That91裸聊视频檚 what Kelowna West NDP candidate Shelley Cook has been told people want most as she hits the campaign trail.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 wonderful to be in a position where people trust you with their deepest concerns and will just share those things over lemons at the market, at coffee shops and on street corners,91裸聊视频 said Cook, the day after the writ was dropped. 91裸聊视频淚 see it as a real gift, and I also feel concerned about what I91裸聊视频檓 hearing from people.91裸聊视频
People are telling her they want to see changes to their bank balances, in the schools they91裸聊视频檝e enrolled their children in and the places where seniors are turning to as they require more help.
Among measures aimed at easing the financial burden and creating that change, the NDP says they would implement a $400 rebate for each rental unit in B.C. and a hydro-rate freeze if elected and would also look to create a $10 a day daycare plan.
Housing is also an issue. The average selling price of a single-family home in the Central Okanagan has reached $638,000, which is unaffordable for many. The rental vacancy rate for apartments is an ultra-tight 0.5 per cent and rents are at an all-time average high.
91裸聊视频淚 think there91裸聊视频檚 also a general concern about good jobs in this community,91裸聊视频 she said. 91裸聊视频淲e are seeing higher job rates in other parts of B.C. than we see here. Also, the quality of those jobs are what91裸聊视频檚 important here.91裸聊视频
Monthly job stats indicate that the Central Okanagan has a 7.8 per cent unemployment rate. Cook said she91裸聊视频檚 particularly concerned.
91裸聊视频淗onestly, I don91裸聊视频檛 know how people are managing,91裸聊视频 she said.
