Building affordable housing and affordable rents.

Doug Ford doesn’t care about anyone but the people who fund his campaign. This is heartbreaking.

"now he wants to put people in jail for being homeless" - He's copying the US.

"If we suffer our people to be unable to afford the most rudimentary of shelters, and then criminalize the very act of creating their own; what is to be concluded but that we render our people homeless in order to punish them."

You have read Utopia. (I'm guessing Doug Ford and friends find Thomas More to be sentimental and dull and the plight of the everyday rustic bores them.)

I didn't vote for him and won't. But that legislation seemsike about illegal drugs. Am I wrong?

It's criminalizing people who likely lost their ability to pay rent when Ford removed rent control in this province. He's trying to criminalize people he helped evict.

As I say I didn't examine all the bill, I'm just talking about what I see in the mass media which I don't really trust.

I myself found many used syringes in the woods near my home this summer so I am against that because I have children but, the government must show a place to live to those people who are victims of the economic breakdown. Thats why we pay taxes, not for Doug Ford's rich friends to get it.

Doug the Thuggie& all Cons are👉 ill-bred low intellect Thugs, who like Trump to the South have "concepts" of plan, who dark money placed to destabilize our Canadian well- being to allow their $ backers/Corp to enslave like medieval times

We need a Federal government willing to step in and protect people.

When I hear Ford talk about how parks should be for families, I couldn't help think about how he destroyed #OntarioPlace4All and gave it to a foreign owned spa for the rich. #BoycottThermeCanada

Good point!

Once again for the people in the back:

A month in hospital costs: $30,100

Month in prison: $9,400

Month in shelter: $6,800

Supportive housing per month: $3,800

Figures from Dr. Andrew Boozary

Ford is devoid of basic decency AND fiscal responsibility.

collburns.bsky.social•72 days ago

Oh yes, I would like to know how he plans on the homeless paying fines. 🤦‍♀️

bcmaguire.bsky.social•72 days ago

Pretty sure he doesn’t. That way he can jail them.

hypergraphic.bsky.social•68 days ago

And when the jails are overcrowded, they'll start exterminating people.

If we don't fight this,we're not better! Calandra, and Ford,are using our children & parks,as an excuse,to take our rights away, it's disgusting,when this is the reality.

Doug Ford must be voted out of office. Time for a change. Ford’s distain for Toronto is palpable. Ford does not adequately represent Toronto, Canada s economic engines. He is still butthurt that he was not elected mayor and his brother was ridiculed by Toronto for being the drug addict that he was.

OW/ODSP needs to be tripled to allow recipients enough for current market housing costs so they don't have to choose between food or shelter. Minimum wage needs to reflect the current cost of living & we need to bring back rent control immediately
