 Also available to listen to as a podcast at: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3AyZZ2znircV1mvZUcpUlX?si=53434d06bfd9404d Ford says that it is ‘ unacceptable ‘ that asylum seekers and refugees are sleeping in church basements and an empty bank. WHAT ABOUT THE CANADIAN CITIZENS THAT ARE SLEEPING ON THE BARE GROUND OUTSIDE THE CHURCHES AND THE EMPTY BANKS ? OR LIVING IN TENTS IN THE PARKS AND UNDER OUR BRIDGES AND VIADUCTS LIKE SOME MEDIEVAL TROLLS? I GUESS THAT MUST BE ‘ACCEPTABLE’. All this talk about affordable housing and how they are ramping up the construction of houses. And both have mentioned that this will assist the refugees and asylum seekers. Which I take to mean that THEY will be getting subsidized housing and get first crack of living in these new homes. SHOW ME ONE OF OUR FELLOW HOMELESS CITIZENS THAT CAN AFFORD TO PURCHASE A HOUSE. IF THEY COULD THEY WOULD NOT BE SLEEPING ON OUR SIDEWALKS AND IN OUR PARKS. What they need to do is stop catering to the wealthy, refugees an

Do not send me any antivaxxer or conspiracy crap. As far as I am concerned YOU are a more dangerous virus than Covid! I wear a mask most everywhere. I have also been vaccinated 5 times. Last time I was in Princess Margaret Cancer Center in the ICU after dropping out and being resuscitated I spent 42 days on life support. I had to lay there and listen to 12 Covid victims die the most horrible death you can imagine. Actually you cannot imagine - you would have to see it. And that was just one of the nights! I have also had to watch family members drown in their own body fluids. There is no "hidden society" lurking in the shadows. For it to be a conspiracy there would have to be members in every

Yet, here I, alone, in the gray of night’s shadows, knowing not if I long for my life’s final love, wondering if emotions felt deep are merely residues of lusts last heat.

  So, answer me this  ….. how does building 50,000 new homes help the housing crisis? Seriously,  how does it get our homeless out of the tent cities or how does it get those who are sleeping on our sidewalks a home? IF THEY CAN AFFORD TO BUY A “NEW HOME” THEY WOULDN’T BE SLEEPING (AND LIVING) ON THE STREETS. Tell me that I am wrong. New homes do not contribute to “ affordable housing “. Not in any way. New homes are for the upper class. We need “ affordable apartments “. Our youth, our seniors and, definitely,  our disabled need places to live that they can rent and still have enough to but a loaf of no-name bread and perhaps a package of chicken baloney. This drive to build thousands and thousands of houses will not get one single homeless person off the streets. All this crap about we need to build 200,000 houses will only benefit those who are already living in a place. By “ place ” I do not mean a plot of cement under the Bloor Street viaduct or a nice grassy area littered with sy
