Just checking in on how the "landlords" are doing.

Reminder: Housing's a human right - not a commodity to be traded + sold on stock markets. @Make_TheShift

123 people lost to homelessness in Calgary in 2019. A dreadful, awful, heartbreaking toll. https://t.co/htEb0KDx4k

Definitely a huge victory! Legislation affirming the housing policy of Canada recognizes that it's a fundamental #humanright ! And appointing (soon!) a Federal Advocate to implement the right! Amazing! And a model for others! #right2housing #maketheshift

@JoshMatlow proposes city housing plan include #rentcontrols in the Housing TO 10-year plan.

[Canadian Centre for Housing Rights (CCHR) @HousingRightsCA]

This story is from Fredericton, and we hear the same thing all the time in Toronto: there aren't housing options for lower-income people. The housing crisis is hitting hard across Canada and things have to change. #Right2Housing #AffordableHousing

[Leilani Farha 🍉 @leilanifarha]

My response: not illegal. People have to live somewhere. Shelters at capacity. No affordable rentals. Where do they go? Or would you have them disappear?

Here's @leilanifarha interviewed by @RobynBresnahan about federal government NCC eviction threat against the tent city in @cathmckenna's riding, and how the resident's rights to housing have been violated for months #Ottawa #ottnews #ottcity #NCC #cdnpoli https://t.co/zAyCIyZ9z9

@SisteringTO hear you were flooded on weekend and overnight was shut. Where did the women go?

[Shelter and Housing Justice Network @SHJNetwork]

Question for Toronto:

Why do you keep pushing a Housing First response to homelessness when there's literally no housing in the city for homeless individuals and families?

[Emily Paradis @EmilyKParadis]

2% affordable housing, half-acre park, basement daycare, 1/3 the community space local orgs need - on 7+ acres of PUBLIC LAND. #BloorDufferin is everything that's wrong with how development happens in this city. @R2HTO @Spacing @emathieuStar @planningtoronto @anabailaoTO

[Right to Housing Toronto @R2HTO]

Urge your City Counillor and the Mayor to strengthen Toronto's 10-year housing plan to ensure that Torontonians can fully realize their right to adequate housing. Send this letter before December 10:

"Number one housing issue used to be repairs, but over the last few years we've seen that change to affordability & evictions" Geordie Dent. Everyone else on stage agrees this shift has happened all across Toronto. #topoli #affordablehousing

[Leilani Farha 🍉 @leilanifarha]

Yes! A commitment in #Canada to reconciliation + rights of Indigenous peoples requires a concerted + immediate effort to implement the #right2housing where Indigenous peoples predominantly live - urban centres! @JustinTrudeau @Carolyn_Bennett #ThroneSpeech
