  2. Totally reminiscent of Australia’s Covid quarantine camps . People were ordered to board a bus and go there for a two week stay…you didn’t volunteer…you were ordered.
    Apparently there was never a problem getting people to attend as most went willingly, proving once more humans make excellent sheep.
    You’d think the residents would be p**ed off about the indignity of it all. Nope. So what was their biggest complaint? No alcohol, mate.
    I’d bet health officials were astonished at how easy it was.

  5. Those units are horrible. Does anybody know what the seller is asking for these sheds?

      1. Just the building, not the land. All studios or one-bedrooms. What every growing family needs.

  7. Remember back in the 70’s – 80’s when some parents would send their kids to camp in summer?
    A week or two in the woods with a bunch of other screaming kids telling horror stories in the evening around a campfire?

    These are the buildings we stayed in.
    They were a step up from the “ice shack” at the local outdoor skating rink.

  9. The sod houses built by settlers on the Canadian prairies looked more charming. Heck, if you fenced off a little rectangular patch in front of the door then you’d have a nice sized chicken coop.

    The design would be more functional and attractive if they’d gone a bit more deluxe and built a one and half story, detached cape cod. The city I grew up in had quite a few blocks of these type of purposely built affordable homes with enough room for a family of four.

  10. There’s a company building “modular affordable housing” in downtown Calgary on 6Ave right now. They’ve been stacking what looks like red c-cans with windows on one end all week. Built by Atco I think. Look awful.

    1. Atcos have a tendency to rot at the bottom edge. bet you’ll see the same on these in about a year

  11. I’ve seen better looking work camps.
    However, these are one up from what they built recently in Kelowna along the highway (in town). They fenced it so you can’t see them. They look like long atco shacks.
    The new middle class, feudal style.

  13. Government,highly effective at destroying all that is good.
    Government knows better than the citizen,how you shall live and where you shall abide..
    So who is “Government”?
    Think of any Government employee you have experienced..now imagine a committee of such people..
    Are you in good hands?
    Housing is a perfect example of “Good Government,helping us all”.
    Basic shelter is now unaffordable,everywhere.
    Due to government help.
    Taxed and regulated into oblivion.
    The “Good Government” solution?
    Ghetto’s.
    Low cost housing,where no resident has any skin in the game,all costs and losses shall be socialized,but all profits be private.
    As long as your party affiliation is fully paid up.
    Fear not,yer average bureaucrat knows they are so much smarter and better than you..
    You who carry the cost of their “wisdom”.

    1. My son in law has introduced me to that farcical comedy. It can be painful to watch that level of stupidity … and painful to watch Trailer Park Boys too … not just the Canadian government.

      1. Well unfortunately it is close to real life in some places in the Atlantic provinces.

        1. Not only! I grew up in BC and the first time I came across the show I thought it was a documentary.

  16. And Tim Houston is a “Progressive Conservative”. If the voters of NS had elected themselves a Liberal government, the money for these hovels would have been spent, and nothing would have been built. WOW, Nova Scotia, you dodged a bullet there.

    In other news, the Governor General spent millions just travelling around last year.
