“Over the last decade, Ontario’s rent control guideline has allowed landlords to increase rents by 16.5%,” said @ricardo_tranjan , the @ccpa report’s co-author. “Over that time, average rents have actually increased by 54.5%.” thestar.com/real-estate/to…
Separate laws for housed and unhoused. No biggie.
Wow. I'm so ashamed of what our culture has done to people with disabilities. This is about MAiD-free public health care. A phrase I didn't know existed until now. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
Say it loud for the folks in the back.
I asked the provinces if they think housing is a human right, and plan to make rules protecting that right. Quebec sent this: "Do I ghost her again? Otherwise, a general response that doesn't answer, to say housing is a priority for our government?" thestar.com/news/canada/ca…
So this must mean there will imminently be affordable and supportive #housing, safer supply, detox, treatment beds and dry housing for everyone who needs it, right? Which is really what we have always needed to stop the harm.

Random strangers helping each other prevent homelessness.
I'm willing to be that the public housing of the 60's was 100% affordable to low incomes, but public investments in housing today are mostly only affordable to high incomes (even if they mkt it as middle-class housing, don't be fooled).

NEW POLLING: 72% of Americans reject arresting & fining people for experiencing homelessness. We partnered with @HousingNarrativ to survey public opinion surrounding #JohnsonVGrantsPass and the trend to punish homelessness. The results? People want #HousingNotHandcuffs.
Hundreds of people have gathered in front of the Supreme Court to rally for #HiusingNotHandcuffs and for the rights of homeless people in the #JohnsonVGrantsPass case. We’re just getting started!
If you are the least bit curious about HOUSING in Canada, read this: mra-mb.ca/wp-content/upl… #homesforall #bcpolitics #canpoli
If your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail BUT WE NEED HALF OF ALL CRANES TO BE SOCIAL HOUSING! From 1964 - 1973 an average 16,000 public housing units were constructed PER YEAR. Go ahead & fix zoning, but equal or more attention to fix social housing too.

Watch WNHHN's Khulud Baig and Marie McGregor Pitawanakwat (WNHHN and National Indigenous Women's Housing Network) discuss how the budget will impact women & gender-diverse people, including Indigenous women, Two-spirit and gender-diverse folks. loom.ly/kZLKOA4
This is how we solve homelessness.
Growing up in BC there was massive social pressure on us as teenagers to get a car, setting us up for a lifetime of perceived dependence on them. Breaking this cycle with reliable and free or low-cost public transit is would be a huge win: thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024/0…
That 3% is comprised by 15,082 units, out of which only 2,490 were built in the last 20 years. We’ve given up before even trying, imo.

—They clearly stated that criminalizing people who use substances neither keeps them alive nor leads them to recovery. -At the heart of it, police agree that people should not be criminalized as a result of their personal drug use. 6/9

Evergreen: “How not to say the wrong thing” latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/…
Only getting to exempt 1/3 of your capital gains *above* $250,000 in a single year from taxation, instead of exempting 1/2, is not the same as being "fucked". And you may not be a millionaire, but if you earned over $250,000 capital gains in a single year, you are very well off.
@JimboStanford @TorontoStar I’m not a billionaire…not even a millionaire. I do have a rental property. But I’m fucked too?
Say it loud for the folks in the back.
Housing (often with supports) is the only solution to homelessness. cbc.ca/news/canada/lo…
When detox isn’t even taking people if they have benzos in their system (which is often in the illicit fentanyl supply) and treatment won’t take people if they haven’t gone to detox first then the wtf are ppl gonna do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Eby is asked if he plans to create more supervised consumption sites now that he's banning public use. Eby says there's already more than 50 sites in BC and that "our priority and focus is on increasing availability of treatment, of detox." Sounds plainly like a "no" to me.
I asked the provinces if they think housing is a human right, and plan to make rules protecting that right. Quebec sent this: "Do I ghost her again? Otherwise, a general response that doesn't answer, to say housing is a priority for our government?" thestar.com/news/canada/ca…
So this must mean there will imminently be affordable and supportive #housing, safer supply, detox, treatment beds and dry housing for everyone who needs it, right? Which is really what we have always needed to stop the harm.
#BREAKING: The B.C. government says it will ban drug use in all public spaces, including parks and hospitals, as part of a major overhaul of its drug decriminalization pilot project. trib.al/WSPWiZ5
I grew up in Ottawa, Canada. As a child, the only time I saw a kufiy.a outside of my own home was when kids would wear them on Halloween to dress up as "terr0rists". Welcome to Canada.
NEW POLLING: 72% of Americans reject arresting & fining people for experiencing homelessness. We partnered with @HousingNarrativ to survey public opinion surrounding #JohnsonVGrantsPass and the trend to punish homelessness. The results? People want #HousingNotHandcuffs.
Hundreds of people have gathered in front of the Supreme Court to rally for #HiusingNotHandcuffs and for the rights of homeless people in the #JohnsonVGrantsPass case. We’re just getting started!
“But equal or more attention” indeed needs to be focused on deep affordability development and programs.
If your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail BUT WE NEED HALF OF ALL CRANES TO BE SOCIAL HOUSING! From 1964 - 1973 an average 16,000 public housing units were constructed PER YEAR. Go ahead & fix zoning, but equal or more attention to fix social housing too.
We are so thankful for the generous support of @RyanJabs of Lapis Homes to fund @WholeWayHouse community services at our Campbell Lodge site in Victoria. Seniors in our community deserve to age in place with dignity and community connection.
Happy to fund this pilot project in #yyj, partnering with @yyj_housing & @WholeWayHouse. Whole Way House's work creates communities in buildings and helps people live better, more socially connected lives and reduces costs for government. greatervichousing.org/news-blog/news…
