“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

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 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:

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?

Canada lost 100,000 jobs in 3 months
Unemployment rate up to 6.7%
Carney is bringing in 700,000 people to Canada

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 🤷

We should not measure success by the number of Canadians who depend on government assistance, but rather how many Canadians no longer need to.
12 million Canadians now depend on the government for groceries.
We need to build a Canada where you can afford groceries without help from government assistance.

SHOCKING! Winnipeg police acknowledged that enforcement doesn't address poverty, homelessness, mental health challenges or addiction. Resources do.
You can arrest people, seize drugs and clear encampments, but you can't police away the conditions driving these crises.
Housing, treatment, harm reduction and community support are essential to lasting public safety.
We will never arrest our way out of problems that require investment in people.

Child benefit? Send it to the landlord. CDB? $204.20 a month. Grocery help? $28 once. Work, pay rent, queue for food, repeat. That is not help. That is a dangerous con that keeps Canadians poor and calls it progress.

Gaslighting On Full Display From The Canadian Federal Government I See 🙈
A lot of noise for what will amount to an overcrowded warehousing situation as the Housing Crisis exponentially worsens. More than likely Provinces move to Criminalize Homelessness.
There's not even a pledge to increase the Canada Disability to a meaningful amount in line with promises made to Disabled Canadians. Gaslighting Continues As Does The Legislated Poverty In This Country.

When even the CBC is fact-checking Liberal broken housing promises...

Not if you don't immediately Pause Immigration, Immigration Populations will quickly out pace any housing created. WILD you think Canadians can't do basic math... 📊📈🧐
How about End Homelessness like you promised?
How about Ending Legislated Poverty, and Lifting Canadians Living With Disabilities Out Of Poverty???
Or is this entire thing a Country Wide Press Release again?
