I actually think Christy Clark hates kids.

Between screwing over kids in East Van by shutting down schools, the chronic mismanagement of the province's child welfare system and the un-affordability of housing I actually think the Clark government is hell bent on destroying the futures of young people in the province. Yeah, I am a single person but I'm not blind. All this depressing bullshit in this city makes it so fucking unfriendly to families. I see so many parents struggling and it totally freaks me out. It's completely unrealistic for someone like me to even dream of starting a family in Vancouver. This just sucks. Yeah a lot of us complain endlessly about Vancouver but this place has been my home my whole life. I've pretty much kissed the thought of eventually getting married and having kids here good bye. I don't want to but give me two-three years and there's a high chance I'll be joining the exodus.

Really?

Here is the real deal. Greedy white baby boomers sold their homes to chinese money launderers thus making Vancouver unaffordable to locals.

Blame the old white person WHO could have sold it local for a lower price and kept vancouver local but they didn't, greed got them and they fucked everyone in a two mile radius.

Now locals cannot afford to have kids so the schools are are closing because rich chinese aren't putting kids in open school to rub arms with poor ass kids. They build expensive ones and hire teachers from abroad.

The rich white baby boomers have left us with a pile of shit and the bill.

I'm leaving vancouver after 16 years because I will never have a family for two reasons I'm poor here so local women dont even notice me so dating is out and the cost of living to support all three would crush whats left of my soul anyway so fuck it.

Adios Bc but it wasn't clark who fucked us it was the baby boomers who only thought of themselves. She just signs the papers.

Christy Clark hates all the kids that are not from rich families.
Of that there can be no doubt BUT please do not make your life choices based on HER she is not worth it, I think you should travel and see it ain't all that bad in BC.
AND what are you doing to stop the liberals from staying in power????

It isn't that she hates kids. It's that she's a narcissist, and being premier has made it much, much worse. She sees the rest of us as being beneath her. She looks down on middle class people, and takes pleasure into grinding them down.

Remember that she was a single mother, yet arranged for child support to be deducted dollar for dollar from welfare for unemployed single mothers. That's a pretty deep contempt for people less well off than you.

A different you

Jun 29, 2016 at 8:39am

Been here for 5 years, working full time and finished school. My lifestyle has not increased, it seems to have actually gone down the last year or so.. Financially, it is a struggle. I can hardly afford new clothes more than once a year.

The kicker is the job I do and the money I make would be a decent middle class income in a smaller city. This "dream" of home ownership, or even condo ownership, and starting a family seems like it will always only be a dream... I don't know if I can have the same job in a smaller city as well...

Vancouver life is great, I love it! Even with the challenges. But realistically, am I going to be able to keep doing the downtown bachelor thing forever? I don't know...

I'm with you OP, don't want to, but if it stays the same, in another couple years I'll probably be seeing what else is out there.

Has no bearing

A politician has no bearing on what I want to do. Sure, you can singularly blame Christy Clark if you want to, but if you want anything to happen in your life, you don't stop at the perceived obstacles. You can still live here if you love it so much. You have to compromise which requires you giving up some things in order to make it work. I have a family and we live in a condo that I own. I do side gigs on top of my full-time job to increase my income. I see limitations and find solutions to charge ahead. If a school closes down, you find another to send your kid to. Being rigid will get you nowhere. Stay fluid and adaptable and you can live and succeed in Vancouver.

Yep...

That's why most of the young people in Vancouver don't have serious relationships, kids, families, it's too expensive. And nobody cares, after all, lots of them have pale skin, so we know that globally speaking they're basically privileged oppressors!

If you look at the wage growth due to the last several decades of globalism, almost 100% of it has been confined to the ultra-rich and those who make less than even the stat. min. wage in western nations.

It's also people like me

My generation is making it impossible for your generation. We are not selling homes for millions because we are being coerced to do it. We are selling because we wants to make da monay.

And because it costs so much to live here, young families move away, and enrollment goes down, and that's why the schools close. That and it's cheaper to build new ones than to upgrade them for seismic codes.

Blame Christy, for sure. But it's not the evil people you have to worry about. It's the people like me.

Long time watching

Christy Clark; since her time as an Education Minister in Gordon Campbell ( "Bremain" Supporter) has acted against teachers- always.
I am not a teacher- though I sympathise with them.

I wonder if she just has something against teachers in general- as what she has done is collateral damage warfare against them.

I'm not a Clark fan, but she's only one person. All of these problems you mention, are just a sign that "political correctness" has back fired on you and you were never given the right to say "no".
