Former Victoria mayor Lisa Helps will help advise B.C. Premier David Eby on housing solutions, the province announced Thursday.

Helps, who was mayor of Victoria from 2014 to 2022, will work with Ravi Kahlon, minister of the newly formed B.C. Ministry of Housing, which was launched last year by the incoming premier.

"The current reality is that many people in our province struggle to find housing, even if they earn a good income," said Eby in a release Thursday. Meanwhile, lawyer Doug White was appointed the special counsel to premier on Indigenous reconciliation.

Isn’t this what a cabinet is for? 🤔🤔

Oh great. She will be asking us to put bike lanes in our homes

Oh dear

Great. She was lousy as a mayor, so you just know she’ll be a wonderful senior advisor for Dave_Eby. Nepotism, alive and well for the bcndp 👎🏾👎🏾

A good choice

Is this a joke!?!?!?!? This HAS to be satire… did no one see what she did to Victoria

Lisa Helps and Joy MacPhail. Who's next for a patronage appointment Glen Clark and Ken Georgetti. I sure wish I was a FOE. (Friend of Eby) $$$$$$

WTAF? WHY NOT GET SOME COMPETENCE INTO ADVISORY ROLES? THIS PERSON MADE AN ABSOLUTE MESS OF VICTORIA. SHE SHOULDN’T BE ADVISING ANYTHING. EVER. AGAIN.

Eby has poor judgement...he has got to go

I have to quit Twitter now. Her face keeps showing up in my feed and I 'm getting weak from throwing up.

Worst mayor ever hired to give advice to government.

I think Lisa Helps will be a great choice: PhD in housing policy, housing starts in CoV doubled during her tenure while permitting time was cut in half. She was chair of the urban mayors caucus, so experience with how the process works in the municipalities.

Well done. Now we need a gas price advisor!!

Her specialty is bike lanes

Just when you think they can't be anymore incompetent. Victoria is gross!

Pump more lethal doses of fentanyl into the streets and flush those junkie rats right down the storm sewers.

God help us ! Rearranging the chairs on the Titanic. Did a terrible job in Victoria- unelectable but here’s a big file to make a mess of and get a huge pay check !

Wow I'm happy to see I'm not the only one laughing and crying. WtAF?! Unbelievable

Her assistant is Carole James daughter, the cesspool is small

Her solution: More Bike Lanes

Mayors that could never solve the problem are providing advice? Ok.

Jesus H Christ advise him on what, opening up his spare bedroom for the homeless? Buying old rundown hotels or I know TENTS FOR EVERYONE!

A waste of money

Another reason not to vote for the ndp next election. More billions towards creating a huge slum that services Canada at our expense. No money for healthcare? I wonder why.

Helps back at the trough. That didn’t take long. Disgusting.

Nothing like rewarding poor performance with a new job. Why did we waste money on motels when detox and rehab facilities are what is required? Now we have US style projects

I thought her housing solution was to buy a bunch of motels and house them on tax payer dime.

We are screwed re:future housing.

This is like asking a Car thief to be a Valet.

Lol

Tents placed on bike lanes 🤷🏽

More tents?
