An ambitious city plan to build almost 4,000 new units of affordable housing in Edmonton over the next three years is welcome news for an advocate for the poor.

"I did find a job within the first couple of days, but it's very difficult to find a place to live," said Darlene LePage, who moved from Montreal with her daughter to make a better life in boom-time Alberta.

4000个units 到2010年完成. 也就是说一年1000多个. 而且注意," providing everything from new apartment units to basement suites and mobile homes," "is welcome news for an advocate for the poor"............................好象很多是为homeless or poor准备的.

我们大多数是按照技术移民被接纳的,这就意味着政府认为你在这个国家能自食其力,自己生存。廉价房屋当然没有考虑咱们的需要啦。
