Connolly told assembled veterans there was a “complete lack of awareness of the issues facing veterans, along with the lack of meaningful resources to tackle these issues”. This included mental health issues. “We cannot continue to avert our gaze to this hardship,” she added. “Both of these issues – homelessness and mental healthcare – require urgent attention.

It's quite disappointing to see Connolly going along with the canard that soldiers are more deserving of support than the general public at large, there should never be a hierarchy went it comes to citizens in a republic, all should be treated equally […]

Former Montréal mayor Valérie Plante aka "l'homme de la shituation"

If I remember correctly, and I'm pretty sure I do. . . former #Montréal mayor Valérie Plante aka "l'homme de la shituation" allowed Montréal's #homelessness problem to not only persist, but to significantly worsen, over the span of her 8 year "reign" as mayor.

Supply is non‑negotiable—but the market won’t house those it can’t profit from. Rebuild non‑market & co‑op stock alongside private building.

Reform zoning near transit. Tax land fairly. Cut approval times. Stop rewarding empty or underused lots.

THE CANADIAN URBAN CONDITION Promise, Crisis, and the Future of the Canadian City

This isn’t fate. It’s policy: federal retreat, exclusionary zoning, financialization, and costs shifted onto cities least able to pay.

The Canadian Urban Condition: From Promise to Policy Failure —and Back. For decades, Canada treated its cities like ATMs and battlegrounds— without giving them the tools to build. The result is a housing crisis we can see from every park encampment to every impossible lease renewal. This essay lays out what a serious city‑building agenda would require: real supply, rebuilt non‑market housing, zoning reform near transit, and fiscal tools that match responsibilities. Would value your perspective from the ground. If you want honest, practical urbanism — minus the spin — subscribe and share. Policy follows pressure. urbanism, housing policy, Canada, homelessness, zoning, transit, political economy, non-market housing, fiscal federalism, land value tax #Urbanism #CanadaHousing #HousingPolicy #Transit #ZoningReform #Homelessness #CityBuilding #Affordability #NonMarketHousing #LandValueTax

Canada’s urban promise is fraying by design — housing, zoning, and a politics that rewards scarcity. We wrote how we got here and how we get out.

THEME 1 — THE ILLUSION OF RIGHTS: Why “ALL RIGHTS RESERVED” Only Works If You Can Risk Homelessness SECTION 1 — THE PROMISELeases open with language that sounds protective:“This is a binding legal document. If not understood, legal counsel should be consulted before signing.”“This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado.”“This Lease shall not waive any rights provided by statute.” The message is clear:You have rights.You have protections.You have recourse. SECTION 2 — THE REALITYInside the same document, those rights collapse. Examples from Loveland leases: “Tenant accepts the Premises in such condition.” “Your promise to pay rent is independent, absolute, without right to offset.”
