by By Anthony Britneff – Opinion: Provincial government trying to ram through Bill 8
Vancouver Sun
At first glance Bill 8 — the Miscellaneous Statutes Amendment Act — looks like housekeeping legislation.

If you happen to be a First Nations’ band or a forest-dependent community occupying smaller apartments, this offer is not for you because your rented areas are uneconomic in size to roll over into a renewable 25-year lease.
