ON's Liberal Party intends to introduce a "phased-in rent control similar to Manitoba," while MB advocates are demanding better from their provincial gov - see pillar 4 https://t.co/CW5CHQDvXE. MB's rent regulations are not the model to aspire to. Renters need full rent control.

@FRAPRU @R2Hwpg @MBGov @moresochousing Yes, Housing Minister Bernadette Smith endorsed @moresochousing call on government of Canada to invest in social housing now.

Update on fed spending to address homelessness states that 🇨🇦 can achieve the NHS goal of a 50% reduction in chronic homelessness by investing an additional $3.5B/year in its homelessness programs.

We know that this goal cannot be achieved without more social housing.

@SafewayCanada I did not receive the reply

[Shauna MacKinnon @STMacKinnon]

huh? I submitted a customer complaint to @SafewayCanada at 3:29 and received a response that it was received. At 4:00 I received a response that the case was closed. Didn't hear a peep from anyone in between. So much for "customer care".

The Advocate's report calls for a national, coordinated response to encampments. It recommends urgent action from all governments to uphold human rights & the #Right2Housing, offer people permanent housing, & address the causes of #encampments. News➡️ https://t.co/G52mdt3IW4

[Shauna MacKinnon @STMacKinnon]

In case you were wondering, looks like housing and homelessness isn’t a Liberal priority @LogementHousing #moresochousing

[Office of the Federal Housing Advocate @HousingLogement]

#Encampment residents are facing a dire human rights crisis.

🔔NEW: Canada's #Right2Housing legislation, the National Housing Strategy Act, requires the fed govt to foster community participation & engagement w/ its justice mechanisms. 💡The @R2HNetwork’s report provides a blueprint on how they can do exactly that: https://t.co/FvjYtFnSvD

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Mary Trump on her uncle Donald:

"Having been abandoned by his mother for at least a year, and having his father fail not only to meet his needs but to make him feel safe or loved, valued or mirrored, Donald suffered deprivations that would scar him for life...

The personality traits that resulted – displays of narcissism, bullying, grandiosity – finally made my grandfather take notice but not in a way that ameliorated any of the horrors that had come before.”
