After his own housing task force told him there is enough land- there is no need to build #housing in the #Greenbelt -Doug Ford tells federal environment minister to back off on #Greenbelt: ‘This is our jurisdiction’ https://t.co/UmYB4Q4pbh https://t.co/UEpm1CjzWF

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

it is -30 in toronto tonight. and this was picture of the TTC last night taken by @fatnmostly. do not look away — this is canada’s failure on housing as a human right. we need all levels of government to end homelessness now.

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

@HannahBang22 Exactly. We can't even do the things we are mandated to do, that would actually help, because our budgets are ludicrously inadequate.

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

I don't think people fully understand the funding disparity b/w police and social services. In 2018, the police budget was just shy of $1 billion. That year, I also ran a drop-in 10 hours a week, where I cooked 300 meals. I was paid $250/week, and had a budget of $10,000/year.
