Maybe you should give up trying to make inflamitory comments? You got the wrong link - it should be this one - and the headline doesn't explain the tenant advocate's statement, which was "the Vancouver Tenants Union noted that Premier Horgan conceded he could not guarantee that any rental aid will actually be paid by April 1, when the next rent is due.

“Every person should think towards the future, see where they are going to be in a few months and decide if it makes sense to pay rent,” said Mazdak Gharibnavaz, a steering committee member of the Vancouver Tenants Union, in a March 25 interview on CiTR 101.9 FM’s station at the University of British Columbia."

So tenant advocates are not questioning why the government stopped evictions.
