A Movement for Local Representation
The following points present the campaign’s case for recall and its criticisms of Bowinn Ma’s representation and provincial policy.
Affordability & Cost of Living
The campaign argues housing prices, taxes, wages and the cost of daily essentials have made life increasingly difficult for working families, students and seniors.
Housing, Traffic & Infrastructure
The campaign opposes provincial housing mandates it says have not been matched with adequate funding and infrastructure for schools, hospitals and transit.
Traffic & Transportation
The campaign points to persistent congestion at the Ironworkers and Lions Gate crossings and argues meaningful long-term solutions have not been delivered.
Public Transit
The campaign says North Shore transit remains overcrowded and under-resourced despite population growth and calls for stronger rapid-transit investment.
Public Safety & Community Wellbeing
The campaign raises concerns about street-level disorder, emergency access during gridlock, and delays and cost overruns associated with the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Government Accountability & Representation
The campaign argues an MLA should place constituency concerns ahead of party priorities and says local voices have too often been sidelined.
Provincial Policy Concerns
The campaign criticizes Bill 15, the Infrastructure Projects Act, over concerns about cabinet powers, municipal zoning, environmental rules and community consultation.
Iran, Human Rights & Democratic Freedom
The campaign supports Iranians seeking freedom, democracy and fundamental human rights and calls for stronger, more visible advocacy for a free and democratic Iran.
Bowinn Ma’s Record
These are the campaign’s principal concerns and interpretation of the public record.
1. Bill 15
The campaign criticizes Bowinn Ma’s role in advancing and voting for the Infrastructure Projects Act.
2. 2019 DRIPA Vote
The campaign criticizes Ma’s support for the 2019 Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act.
3. “Uninvited Guests” Rhetoric
The campaign objects to rhetoric it says characterizes British Columbians as “uninvited guests.”
4. Carihi Secondary Infrastructure
The campaign points to delays following the Carihi Secondary fire and subsequent student advocacy.
5. North Shore Bridge Gridlock
The campaign argues residents continue to face severe bridge congestion and calls for substantially stronger action.
6. Iran & Democratic Freedom
The campaign says expressions of support for Iranians seeking freedom should be backed by specific, sustained action.
