Homelessness is a policy failure. #raisetherates In 2023, the province raised shelter rates for people living on PWD, from $375 a month to $500 — but it’s a stark contrast to the current rental prices that many in B.C. pay to have a roof over their head. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/08/29/dis…

An important update for all of Ontario re: homelessness: the Superior Court has ruled in favour of encampment residents in Waterloo Region. The Region is restrained from enforcing a by-law to clear an encampment until the constitutionality of the by-law can be determined.

Imagine if "combating homelessness" meant housing people, not brutalizing and disappearing them.

This is shocking. Since @fordnation shut down supervised consumption sites, drop-in programs are seeing massive increases in overdoses — including a 288% increase just last month. Overdoses don't go away; they get moved to spaces with fewer supports and resources.

My op-ed for @TorontoStar: when it comes to encampments, @fordnation is looking south of the border when he should be looking west. Ontario is importing failed American policies to punish homelessness, while Manitoba is doing what works: housing people. thestar.com/opinion/contri…
