Why have we had such a steep rise in visible homelessness?

Perhaps part of it is because 'Ontario has [been] lowering what it spends on community housing by 70 per cent' since 2018.

Joint letter from National Farmers Union - Ontario Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO) & Ontario Farmland Trust calls on Ford government to halt the acquisition of Wilmot farmland & fire the consultant that has been threatening farmers with expropriation nfuontario.ca/news/joint-let… #onpoli

And now Bill 185 allows any landowner to apply to have the urban boundary expanded. Buy a farm next to town and make an application. If the Towns says no, no problem. Go to the OLT. Ontario no longer does planning.

Things to know: 15 homeless encampments in Georgina; 85 per cent increase in food bank users in 2023; food is flying off the shelves at the Keswick Community Fridge. #foodinsecurity #Georgina georginapost.com/2024/04/08/foo…

Bill 185 finishes the job Doug Ford has been setting up for land owners, speculators and developers. No more density rules except @ major transit areas. Sprawl anywhere on partial water / wastewater services. DIY Natural heritage system planning. No public appeal rights.

Farmers say: 'The government's emphasis on expediting the development process to address the housing supply crisis is understandable, but it must not disregard the long-term implications for agricultural sustainability and food security.' #Bill185 #onpoli Stop Sprawl Peel

It is completely unethical to refuse to house people in one of the richest countries on earth.
The affordable housing waitlist is more than 14,000 people, & Aurora Mayor says no to a shelter.

According to the FAO: 'Ontario’s program spending of $12,138 per capita in 2022 was the lowest among the provinces and 21.1% lower than the rest of Canada average, reflecting relatively low spending on health and all other programs per capita' fao-on.org/en/Blog/Public… #onpoli

Ontario just dropped another cluster bomb.

We had the privilege to attend a meeting today with landowners, public interest groups, environmentalists & politicians to discuss solutions for the farmland loss issue in Wilmot. If this land expropriation goes ahead, there will be devastating long-term impacts: 🧵1/8

Good question from the speaker in the video...Why is the Ontario government letting ENBRIDGE write the policy of Ontario?
