Landlord BC Tells the Vancouver City Council How to Vote

On Nov 26, Vancouver City Council voted to put Landlord BC in charge of administering a several million $ grant as part of a project to retrofit old buildings without tenant displacement.
Jean Swanson made an amendment to make the grant conditional on tying rent control to the unit in the buildings (i.e. implementing vacancy control)...which passed.

Lo and behold, LandlordBC wrote to City right away and threatened to pull out of the project, which scared the council into rescinding the vote and defeating it within an hour.
 
Kudos to Jean Swanson and Pete Fry and Michael Wiebe for not caving in to this pressure.

But can you tell who really runs the City Hall?
