The PLAN to make Campbell River a tourist destinationof BC is quite a huge task plan and it needs HUGE amount of financial capability. According to the local news that I read this morning that the City has 2 million surplus. Wow! That's nice and that's good. However 2 MILLION DOLLARS is not enough for a city like Campbell River.
When I heard about the Food Bank for thousands of families who need free food in Campbell (there's no food bank in Philippines even if there are so many people suffering from poverty) and there are homeless people in a city like Campbell... 2 million dollars is not enough! That's only the price or amount of 4 mansions without swimming pools in Georgia Park.
To lure another fifty thousand people in this small city, it might lead to noise pollution, scarcity of water supply, traffic or busy streets, air pollution and what else unemployment. UNEMPLOYMENT is already a big problem. You are asking for a HUGE CRISIS? The population of this city is close to 40,000 . There are too many unemployed. What kind of work they have to give? You have to let them know that the pulp mill is closed, the sawmill has shut down, the mining company is laying off workers. Those were laid off are still not at work. There are big box stores but only few people go there to shop. Meaning not too many has money. If there's people with money they are secured for their old age and you can't touch it.
Negativity? It's actually informing people the truth. I don't like those people being duped or told about the lies and pretensions. I don't like them to suffer what we suffered when we had our business before. We were told and informed about lies and so much lies.
Well urbanization is great when the location offers a lot of opportunity such as employment but if the newcomers will only take away the livelihood of the original inhabitants then that's foul. Besides, if the people here cannot afford the newly-built homes worth 300,00 + tax how can another families can afford when they come here with only few dollars to spend? In the end you the taxpayers end up paying more taxes for these people. How? The tax you have to pay for your house and municipal tax will increase. Your gst and pst tax will increase. If its 12% now it will go up to 14 up to 16%. The price of commodities will increase per demand and supply. I know my economics. Everything will increase including insurance, health, and what else? The water will be ration. One bucket of water per one household per day. RATION! Is that great?
If the Israelites showed you how they rule with illegal or legal migrants you should know how to stop mass migration too. California did it too with great force. Protect your country. Protect your city without much opportunity for local people and local families. Show your loyalty to the original inhabitants not to the new comers. PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN! Protect your pension if you are one of the seniors here in Campbell River. Think that maybe in the next generation no one will have pension. You'll be eating soylent green.
Besides, the island is not the place where you can allow millions of inhabitants. Based from its HISTORY you should not allow millions of people here.
