However, since that time the rent is up well over 20% as they fund more bureaucracy to block homes and deficits that drive up interest rates, so much so that Tim Chen, a student in Vancouver, actually needs to commute to university from Calgary. Yes, he has to fly back to Calgary where he can afford the rent under a Conservative government and then fly over to Vancouver in order to study. How crazy is it that he has to commute across\u2014</p>",

Toutefois, depuis, l'augmentation des loyers a d\u00e9pass\u00e9 largement les 20 % alors que la coalition finance encore plus de bureaucratie pour bloquer la construction de maisons et affiche des d\u00e9ficits qui entra\u00eenent des hausses des taux d'int\u00e9r\u00eat. La situation a atteint un point tel que Tim Chen, qui \u00e9tudie \u00e0 Vancouver, fait la navette entre l'universit\u00e9 et Calgary. Oui, il prend l'avion de Calgary, o\u00f9 il peut se permettre de louer un appartement gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un gouvernement conservateur, pour aller \u00e0 l'universit\u00e9 \u00e0 Vancouver. Il est compl\u00e8tement ahurissant qu'il doive faire la navette...</p>"
