The federal government says it can’t wait any longer for Ontario to end encampments in its cities and will offer money directly to municipalities, including Toronto, to fix the problem.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Housing Minister Sean Fraser said he sent a letter to every province and territory on Sept. 18 asking them to partner with Ottawa to “urgently” find shelter for the unhoused or those living in tents.
The offer includes a total of $250 million in funding in exchange for matching contributions by the provinces and territories.
However, Fraser said since the offer was made, the feds have not heard back from Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.
Dougie thinks that radio silence will eventually cause people to blame the federal government, just like his inaction during the freedom convoy protests in Ottawa.
Fuck his fat complacent ass. At least Olivia Chow actually gives a shit about the job.
The difference in tone indicates, Mayor Chow appears far more ready to tackle the issue than the provincial minister who’s being snarky about it all.
If the conservatives don’t want to help the most vulnerable they must be bypassed.
