  1. The feds should have absolutely no role in housing, and there should be no minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities.

    Period.

    This is an example of the myriads of ways that gov’t is unnecessary and only makes life worse by intruding into places they have no business existing.

    If government didn’t first create the problem of unwanted, unneeded, and completely unnecessary population-replacing hordes of immigrants, there’d be no housing shortage at all.

    1. Watto, to build on your comment about where the feds should have no role….just peruse the list of federal ministries. It is a pantheon of intrusion into our beleaguered efforts to shake off the socialistic shackles of our out of control ‘government.’
      And, if you have the stomach for it, drill into the federal agencies, foundations, funded offshoots, and other egregious shite.
      Enough to make one weep.
      Case in point: I borrowed a CD from the library that was funded by “FACTOR Canada.” Funded by “Heritage Canada”, and others, it is an entity to support approved musicians and venues, etc. Typical waste on promoting their chosen fools rather than letting the market decide on merit etc.
      Oh, and there is a Quebec version, of course…
      What a country.

  2. there’s a ‘floating crap game’ sort of arrangement 4 blocks south of my place where tents pop up and disappear great frequency.
    go west 3 blocks and voila the cop shop.
    the highest volume of dangerously addictive drugs consumption within 200 kms
    right
    under
    the
    noses
    of
    (emphasis mine) WORSE THAN USELESS cops.
    guess.
    why.
    lm.
    selling.

  3. As the real-estate values plummet, keep a VERY close eye on who steps up to BUY the degraded properties. Then watch for the carefully-managed “renewal” programmes to start and the property prices skyrocket..

  4. Don’t know what Corolla says nor do I care. We don’t have a “homeless” problem in Canada, we have a drug addiction problem.
    We have them encamped in a city park twenty five miles from where I live and it drives the municipality nuts, only because they’re at an absolute loss how to deal with it.
    Drug addicts love the attention they’re getting. Give them brand new digs and they’ll rip it to shreds and shit all over the place in two weeks. Literally. It’s what they do.
    I really don’t care anymore.

    1. I love Adam Corolla – he is absolutely right! Yes, it is sad that you have screwed up your life so badly, that no one wants to giver you temporary housing or help you get back on your feet. You, homeless person, need to get your act together.

    2. Burton:

      That is exactly my view. They are not “homeless”; most are irresponsible morons who chose drug addiction and, as would be expected, are unable to support themselves; unable to afford shelter.
      The word “homeless” in this context is as valid as “trans kids”.
      Neither ACTUALLY exists in the REAL world.

    3. You really think we don’t have a homeless problem? How do you import ten million people in a decade, drive the price of real estate through the roof and not have a homeless problem? I bought a house twenty years ago, paid it off in a decade, and I could not afford to buy that same house now despite my income doubling in that time. If I didn’t own my house I’d be living in poverty in some slum apartment on a top ten percent income with no hope of owning my own place. You don’t think under these conditions that maybe a few people don’t fall between the cracks?

  5. “Toronto, Durham, Peel, York, Hamilton, Niagara, Waterloo, Ottawa and Sudbury in Ontario signed deals, as did Saskatoon and Regina.” $91 million from the feds, and how much from the property owners that would rather not put up with the mentally ill who want to live outside?

  7. It wouldn’t be out of line to process them into pet food. Sort of a “No Name” version of Soyent Green.

  9. First create the problem.
    Wasting the wealth of productive citizen tax payers.
    Funding Welfare dependent self abusers,living handout to handout.
    Then pretend to solve “the problem” by wasting even more enormous amounts of other peoples money.
    And all the usual urban centres line up to pick other taxpayers pockets…as their current rate payer plan to flee.
    The original loitering bylaws,cured those who refused to contribute to the society they lived in.
    But federal laws and our wonderful Liberal Supreme court made the ferals untouchable.

    Guess what?
    When you feed the ravens,you get more ravens.
    Feed the foxes they turn up like clockwork.
    Feed the bears? You wind up having to shoot them.

  10. it occurs to me, that via various transactions and channels, the billions spent at the street level on those now very harsh synthetics, in the end, goes into the coffers of CCP.
    buuuut he admires them !!!!

  11. Not homeless, it’s just that their homes are in other countries.

    The others, the drug addicted psychos, aren’t going anywhere.

  12. The thing that amazes me about this is that the proponents of this scheme are, in effect, declaring that they are hugely more intelligent and experienced that those who have attempted these very things before, and who failed spectacularly.

    I don’t think I could find a much better example of hubris.

  13. My very successful children here in CA have NO CHANCE of buying a home anywhere near their jobs and residences. However my State and local governments spend hundreds of Billions of dollars on housing “The Homeless” … who don’t want to be housed. And don’t get me started on the giveaways to illegal aliens.

    My children are working class professionals who $$ PAY the high taxes in this State that leftists give-away to massive bureaucracies who accomplish absolutely NOTHING measurable or productive. I loathe the CA supermajority leftists whose only measurable accomplishment is virtue signaling.

  14. …and when the lights come on at 0400h in the morning they wake up either on a farm or in barracks for basic training. Now get to work.
