@MikePMoffatt Thanks. I appreciate your efforts in informing Canadians so we can have a shared understanding of the issues and debate policy constructively.

[Josée Poirier PhD @curiousjosee]

[Josée Poirier PhD @curiousjosee]

@MikePMoffatt In this context, does "homes" refer to both rental apartments and houses?

For every 1$ spent on humanitarian aid, 170$ is used on fossil fuels subsidies.

The world has enough resources to build a #FamineFree future.
