older adults need many supports in the home as they age, and that gets lost without secure housing. This can include everything from housekeeping, to helping pay bills and medical and mental health assistance

This is not a complete response:

1. In order for the #justice system to be effective and to keep the public trust,
law enforcement officers must respect the rule of law.
2. This article vastly overstates the monthly income of people on welfare.

Today is Law Day. Every year on April 17, we celebrate the signing of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms and what it represents. Law Day is also a time for educating and informing the public about the role and importance of the law and the justice system. 1/2

Rules should be
-based on objective evidence not stereotypes or discriminatory attitudes
-necessary to address legitimate health and safety concerns .

With vacancy rates this low, it's easier for landlords to be picky (discriminate) even when there is nothing wrong with the prospective tenant.

Living in a tent is not the same as going camping for the weekend. Unhoused folks are exhausted. It is a huge hardship to take a tent down every morning and put it up again at night.

Workplace culture isn't the sole responsibility of managers and supervisors.
Anyone can influence a workplace for better or for worse. Here are a few tips for making your workplace more inclusive and less likely to permit bullying.

#Work #Bullying #HealthyWorkplaces

[NCLC - Northumberland Community Legal Centre @NCLC_Legal]

Current rules incentivize landlords to get long-standing tenants. Landlords can raise rents by any amount between leases.
It doesn’t help to raise the fines if few landlords are fined & aren’t fined enough to discourage the behaviour.

Two key issues for employers & managers
Prevention: who you hire, how you treat them, policies & practices and the work environment.
Addressing: clear, accessible complaints procedures, plan to investigate and stop the bullying.
