The BC Liberal government's top single source of political donations comes from the development/real estate industry.

In fact the head of the BC Liberal's  fundraising division, in charge of securing political donations, was the  "condo king" of the province, developer Bob Rennie.

This sector is well monied, and very influential.

Every government trade mission to China also comes with a gaggle of residential real estate industry reps in tow, that is how well integrated into the political (and economic) fabric of the province the industry is.
