It would also be very informative, to see some figures as to how often police are called, to deal with an issue involving TFW's, as opposed to those French kids you were referring to, many of whom came to party their butts off all summer, and got into plenty of mischief.


Been reading your constant posting for awhile now. Seems you have alot of "generic" opinions backed up by zero facts.

Evidently there are enough people that can afford renting in Kelowna judging by the incredibly low vacancy rate. I keep hearing that people can't afford to live here, yet damn near every available unit in the city is filled even with the city's rental rates being as high as they are. People are finding a way to make it work.

What facts do you have to offer to support your opinion?

That's the thing about a forum it's people's opinions. Reading posts from members blaming all TFW's for their problems, isn't opinion backed up by zero facts?

The thing about what I just said though, is I lived through that era, even partied with some of those people, who around the camp fire would brag about how they got money in Winnipeg, Regina, and Calgary, on the way out from Quebec, so I believe what I said was based on facts. You can believe whatever you like.

Jonrox makes an excellent point, in that for all the complaining about living costs here, the rental vacancy rate shows quite well how people are in fact managing. It's never been easy to get housing here from my experiences, and that goes back to 1988. It took me over a year to find housing for a family of five back then.
