Nothing in #Bill60 will create a single unit of #AffordableHousing! It'll speed up evictions & fuel Ontario's already out of control #homelessness crisis. @fordnation is omitting committee and public input on Bill 60 because they know the people are against it! #StopBill60

#Bill60 will likely be passed this week, and it will grow homelessness across Ontario — something our food banks, shelters, and municipalities do not have the resources to address. When you wonder why encampments are growing in your community, remember Bill 60. My remarks:

Proud to have authored a letter with @nodemovictions, co-signed by 134 orgs, demanding that @fordnation repeal #Bill60 — which we call the "Create Encampments Faster" Act. Ontario can't afford even weaker rental protections and more homelessness. Read: tinyurl.com/StopBill60

We need solutions to the homelessness and overdose crisis that will actually work. Bill 6 isn’t it. We can’t criminalize our way out of a crisis. But we can invest in supportive housing, expand treatment and harm reduction services, and reverse SCS closures.

Ontario has reintroduced Bill 6, which will punish encampments even though people have nowhere else to go. That's why we've formed the Encampment Justice Coalition. We're asking Ontario to rescind Bill 6 and commit to housing — not punishment. Read more: tinyurl.com/EJC-Bill6
