A Movement for Local Representation

I. Affordability & Cost of Living

Under Bowinn Ma’s tenure, life on the North Shore has become increasingly unaffordable. Skyrocketing housing prices, rising taxes, and stagnant wages have pushed working families, students, and seniors to the brink. The cost of daily essentials—groceries, transit, and childcare—continues to climb, while wages fail to keep pace. This government’s economic policies have made it harder for North Shore residents to thrive.

II. Housing, Traffic & Infrastructure

Instead of fostering smart, sustainable growth, Ma’s office has forced provincial housing mandates on local communities—without providing the funding or resources needed to support them. Schools, hospitals, and transit infrastructure are overwhelmed, leaving residents struggling with overcrowded classrooms, underfunded healthcare, and inadequate public transit.

III. Traffic & Transportation

North Vancouver is gridlocked. Commuters waste hours every day stuck in traffic on the Ironworkers and Lions Gate crossings, yet Bowinn Ma has failed to deliver meaningful, long-term solutions. Promises of relief remain unfulfilled, leaving families, workers, and emergency services stranded in a cycle of congestion.

IV. Public Transit

Our community is being left behind. Despite rapid population growth, North Shore transit remains underfunded and overcrowded. Buses are packed, routes are inefficient, and there’s no aggressive investment in rapid transit solutions. Residents deserve reliable, accessible, and sustainable transit options—not a system that leaves them behind.

V. Public Safety & Community Wellbeing

Safety and environmental health are non-negotiable. Rising street-level disorder and gridlock on emergency response routes have created hazardous conditions for residents and first responders alike. Meanwhile, the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant—a critical piece of infrastructure—has been plagued by delays, cost overruns, and legal disputes, leaving our community vulnerable to environmental risks and public health concerns. Bowinn Ma’s failure to address these issues reflects a dangerous disconnect from the realities facing North Vancouver-Lonsdale.

VI. Government Accountability & Representation

An MLA’s job is to represent you—the constituents of North Vancouver-Lonsdale—not the priorities of a party. Bowinn Ma has repeatedly sidelined local voices, prioritizing rigid party mandates over the needs and concerns of the people she was elected to serve.

VII. Provincial Policy Concerns

Under her leadership, the Ministry of Infrastructure pushed through Bill 15 (the Infrastructure Projects Act), a law created without proper community consultation. This legislation grants the cabinet sweeping powers to bypass local zoning and environmental rules, eroding democratic representation and environmental protections.
