Things I wouldn't have to do if our government didn't think forced rehab was ok...drive to Fredericton on a Monday...sigh.
@caitngrogan I understand the concern. Our orange cat, Gary, has watched our machine in operation - does not approve. No way he is going near that. The open door trick has worked for all our kitties going back to 2007. Never been an issue.
With this money, we could house 15-20 ppl in RGI each month, hire 3 case managers or tenant landlord navigators, buy school children in NB a pizza party, hold a government sponsored free entry draw for a luxury vacation..I'll take anything but employing outhouse at this point.

I'm still mad about the tourism minister but Sara makes a solid point that there's more at stake right now...

The target is to remove 3,000 per year, which housing minister Jill Green says the province is on target to hit. She says the direct to tenant housing benefit will be a major part of that push.
So, are we ever going to have a serious conversation about the financialization of housing and its effect of driving up real estate prices or....?
This paper is near and dear to my heart. It provides findings from a day when the community gathered to share their thoughts on housing at the NB housing summit. This, along with the community report, will be coming along to participants' and politicians' inboxes imminently!

I couldn't agree more!
I'm a book nerd and I enjoyed hearing about three great housing books at CHRA @CWhitzman I can't wait to read yours! I've read Ricardo's tenant class and it's excellent!!!

It was a long day in court yesterday, listening to the arguments of the first round of groups attempting to bring legal action against the government over #Policy713 . The government is attempting to bifurcate (split up) the legal challenge; also claiming the process is happening…
@JuliaWoodhall We are working on a community bonding option as well as personal lending to the NPO. We'd love to land a charity partner for donation receipts, too. But essentially, we will have a few options for folks and a formal capital campaign eventually. Just getting the ball rolling
Day 8 of Vacant 2 Vibrant. We have $14200 pledged to the cause and the seller is now being engaged to turn this lazy land into housing for 7. If we can secure 40k, we will be able to secure it and the lot and start the work of renovating and building. #housesj #vacant2vibrant
And the biggest concern about the deficit comes from folks who bought a two million dollar cottage in Muskoka in 1984 for $35,000 and are upset they’ll have to pay more tax on it.
.@premierbhiggs has been fundraising for 6 months using discrimination against trans kids/adults via his dog whistle - “parental rights.” No more. We need to demand that he stop violating the Human Rights Act by promoting bigotry towards 2SLGBTQIA+ children and adults. Full stop
@RacicotLeanne I’m not sure it will. A lot of PIs already wish they could pay their trainees more, but if they try, the reviewers call their grant budget unreasonable and scale it back. The government is directly and purposefully keeping Canada’s science trainees underpaid 😞
So, are we ever going to have a serious conversation about the financialization of housing and its effect of driving up real estate prices or....?
@shawnrouse Psychologist but not addictions expert. Even if you can force detox you can’t force participation in mental health Tx. The person has to want to change and actively participate. If underlying mental health is not addressed, forced detox will not have lasting effects.
You know who doesn’t care about Capital Gains? 90%+ of people who will never encounter it or don’t even know what it is. What those people are focused on is making rent/mortgage, affording food and maybe one day retiring. Fight about CG all you like but most people don’t care.

@BlueCollarKell @IRPlawyer You can't force someone to get clean, they'll inevitably relapse if it's not of their own will.
There are some tokenistic ownership incentive changes IMO, & continuing assumption that ownership is the only secure outcome (e.g. tenant credit scores going to mortgage) instead of prioritizing secure long-term rental. So, right direction, needs clear income-based targets /10
At @CHRA_ACHRU this week I presented that we won't truly end homelessness without: 1) Decolonization/Landback 2) A guaranteed minimum income 3) Rent controls 4) Public housing Is it too depressing or very necessary to name these aspirational but essential positions?
