It’s hypocritical for the provincial government to tell municipalities to build more and more housing when the former has done a terrible job with building enough infrastructure to support more housing.

Never had any issues with classes in portables growing up.

Oh for goodness sake, the title of the article and the text don’t match.
Portables have been used for generations. And they last for decades.

They need to vote in Parties who actually give a damn about social services and actually building schools. Conservatives won’t.

Sure. 50 kids/class. No portables (for three years).
Development absolutely has a role to play, but zoning needs to include land for schools. Current calculations are also a joke. A 400 unit condo complex with mostly 3 bedroom units was only budgeted for 200 children, age 5-17. Of that, they assume 16% will be home/private schooled. Oh, and it is near a school that is already well above 100% capacity.
We absolutely need homes, but also parks, and schools, and hospitals, etc.
