How does he plan on arresting the homeless? Is he using the Mounties? Policing is Provinical and city responsibility not Federal? Does he know the difference in provincial and federal powers?
He's a psychopath. Not as in a serial killer, but as in someone who's dead inside, feels no remorse or empathy, and has no problem with using and manipulating people to get what he wants. Cruelty is part of the package with people like him.
There was an encampment on the trail where I run and last year I became briefly acquainted with one of the guys, friendly educated, employed, and renovicted by his landlord so he could house multiple people in the apartment instead of one. Couldn't find anywhere else to rent in town.
See, Canada doesn't have an illegal immigrant problem to the same extent as the US. So Temu Trump needs to find a scapegoat to fill that role. And he found it in the homeless population.
Ten years ago it cost about 50 k a year to house a minimum security prisoner twice that for a female. Imagine what it costs today. Wouldn’t it be easier to just provide housing ???
I have a plan to end encampments. I did some historical research and found out that there used to not be this many homeless people. And also, there used to be a lot higher taxes on businesses and wealthy, which incentivized them to invest in their business to grow it. So we’ll just raise taxes again
Ah, yes, because imprisoning people without homes is clearly the solution to the housing crisis. Who needs affordable housing when you can just throw people in jail? Pierre’s brilliance shines again—who knew that criminalizing poverty was the key to solving society’s problems?
So you arrest people who are homeless and put them in prison where they are fed and housed all on the taxpayers dime. How does that (a) help address the root causes of homelessness and (b) reduce the costs to taxpayers, plus (c) it is probably inherently unconstitutional....more taxpayer legal fees!
Would it surprise anyone at this point, if the homeless were rounded up and sent to for-profit encampments owned by Cons donors? With Canadian taxpayers footing the bill? That's what Trump is doing, spending US GOV. money to jail less desirable Americans, in El Salvador...
Imagine your local cops
being told this:
first, demolish the camps
then, arrest the homeless
and put them where exactly?
Prison?
Really?
Cause we already know
it's far more cost-effective to house
the homeless
than imprison them
by a factor of thousands of dollars.
How is this a good idea?

And he’s counting on the fact that his supporters don’t know either.
Instead he rents out his houses to other conservative MPs who get a housing allowance on top of their generous salaries.
Fuck this useless goof.
Never worked an honest day in his life but he’s a millionaire.
That's what us normal Canadians live in.
He has luxury properties for billionaires.
Slavery, PP?

Funny how that worked.

Of course it's Skippy's solution.
