Opinion: Housing minister left Prince George with ‘disgusting mess’

Your incompetent handling of these problems has made parts of our city uninhabitable

Minister Kahlon, how dare you criticize Prince George for dealing with the disgusting mess your government has failed to deal with?

I don't see tent encampments in downtown Victoria or Vancouver parks. The legislature lawn is a great place to send our homeless to set up their camp but I'm sure you'd deal with that expeditiously. I guess we're out of sight, out of mind.

The residents and businesses of Prince George have been forced to deal with the crime, squalor, vandalism, public drug use, danger and cost of the poor victims of addiction or mental issues while your useless government sits on your fat hands and makes hollow promises.

Your incompetent handling of these problems has made parts of our city uninhabitable, made business operation impossible and/or unviable, cost our citizens financially and made citizens ashamed of our community.

Do your job or quit and give it to someone who will.
