This is a really great long form article about the efforts to upzone New Zealand, one of the only countries going through an even worse housing crisis than Canada. There's a lot to learn here about the political challenges of implementing good urban planning strategy.

BC is one of the only provinces with a progressive government in the country

I thought there might have been one or two more, but it's just Manitoba who finished their election pretty recently.

The provinces across Canada have been surprisingly conservative for a while. Even supposedly left leaning BC went through 16 years of a conservative government until just relatively recently in 2017. All while conservative governments have endured scandals, mismanagement, limp economies, and chronic underfunding of healthcare and housing.

As someone from BC I'm painfully aware of the recent BC Liberal era. Although the Horgan NDP's wasn't exactly hitting out the park and bungling voting reform could really bite them in the ass.
