It costs a lot to provide a safe and affordable home to Ottawa's chronically homeless and vulnerable sector... It costs even more not to. #Ottawa #cdnpoli #endhomelessness #TOpoli #ottpoli #ottnews #onpoli #Youth #Ontario #ONyouth #homelessness #ON #Canada #Breaking #Barriers

“In Canada, we take care of each other” By bringing in 950,000 non-Canadians in the country to compete against Canadians while we are: - 500,000 homes short - Down 53,000 jobs this year - Facing 6.7% unemployment rate - 13.8% youth unemployment rate - 26.8 weeks treatment time - 2.35 Million/M food bank use The Prime Minister’s idea of taking care of eachother is very deceptive
In Canada, we take care of each other.

Governments have long ratified agreements to constantly work towards consistently improving conditions. Unfortunately that comes with a Recurring Press Release like it's the most Nobel deed and not a Ratified Obligation. #Budget2026 #Canada #EndHomelessness #Housing #POVERTY #CanadaDisabilityBenefit #HousingFIRST #AffordableHousing #Disability #LegislatedPoverty

Carney has repeated the “Canada is creating jobs at twice the rate of the United States” claim at least half a dozen times this year—including as recently as here on October 21 with Doug Ford, and versions of it in August (“four times”), July, June, March, and January Yesterday’s numbers: U.S. +861,000 payroll jobs (Jan–Oct). Canada: 45,900 fewer people employed The claim keeps collapsing on contact with the data, yet the same media that live-tweeted every syllable of it has gone quiet. They’ll fact-check everything except the Prime Minister’s favorite talking points #cdnmedia @MarkJCarney
New job numbers yesterday. The grocery bill doesn’t wait for the job market to recover. From January to October 2026, the U.S. added 861,000 payroll jobs while Canada had 45,900 fewer people employed.

When it comes to reducing homelessness, Canada can learn a lot from Finland. 🇨🇦🇫🇮 Finland stopped treating housing as something people have to earn and started treating it as the foundation for rebuilding lives. Through its HOUSING FIRST approach, they work with individuals to provide stable, affordable housing while addressing their unique needs, including mental health, addiction, employment, and community support. People aren't required to get sober, find employment, or complete treatment before receiving housing. And the results speak for themselves. Research has found that approximately 80–90% of participants successfully maintain their housing, giving them the stability to work toward recovery, employment, better health, and rebuilding their lives. Finland has also achieved major long-term reductions in homelessness. Housing creates stability. Stability creates opportunity. Opportunity creates hope. You don't end homelessness by demanding people fix their lives before giving them a home, you give them a home so they have a chance to rebuild their lives.

Budget 2026 has an ambitious plan to end homelessness. Ottawa’s 2019 Reaching Home strategy aimed to cut chronic homelessness by 50% by 2027-28 was a complete failure. The new plan allocates $11.2 billion over four years, plus $17.8 billion in later years, and aims to end homelessness within a decade. It includes a $1.8 billion Integrated Supports Fund that links housing with health and addiction care, and $3.6 billion for supportive and transitional housing through Build Canada Homes. The plan starts in Winnipeg with 2,000 transitional and supportive homes and a new Centre for Mental Health and Addictions. This is really less of an actual plan to end homelessness and more of a funding mechanism for social services and nonprofits. The best way to reduce homelessness is to reduce costs for Canadians, increase job prospects, housing affordability and return people to the labour market. And yet we see very little focus on the fundamentals. Prevention is part of the solution to begin with. After failing their own housing targets, Liberals give Build Canada Homes another $13 billion over ten years, bringing its total capital to $45 billion, with a goal of tripling non-market housing starts to 24,000 a year. Another $1.55 billion turns federal land and buildings into homes.
Budget 2026 is Mark Carney's 2nd federal budget. ​There are some good policies and small changes, but it stops short of the big, ambitious transformational moves Canada needs right now. A lot of data and charts. My thoughts and breakdown: kirklubimov.blog/p/budget-20…

Another $1.55 billion turns federal land and buildings into homes. A number of lines regarding helping with the cost of living: A one-time 50% top-up to the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit in early 2027. A family of four gets up to $2,570 within a year, counting the regular benefit. The Canada Caregiver Credit becomes refundable, worth up to $1,260 even for caregivers who owe no tax. The Canada Workers Benefit becomes the Build Canada Workers Benefit, worth up to $1,859 for singles and $3,143 for families from 2027. Federal fuel excise relief is extended to the end of January 2027, worth $5.3 billion this fiscal year in total. $5.4 billion over two years to keep the national child care system on track. $2 billion to retrofit a million homes with heat pumps and efficiency upgrades.

In 2024, PM Trudeau announced a plan to build 3.9 million homes by 2030 to tackle housing affordability. The number of new homes being built actually went down. That plan is now officially abandoned. In 2026, PM Carney announced a plan to eliminate homelessness. How will it end?

The invisible silos of all three levels of Gov is truly fascinating. No wonder there's very limited 🤏 progress of positive obligations. Nobody holds the other to account 🤷 #MarkSutcliffe #DougFord #MarkCarney #Ottawa #Ontario #Canada #Ottcity #Onpoli #Cdnpoli
