Thank you for listening to Pictures Media Radio. Welcome to Policy and Rights,
the show about governor policy and human rights. Welcome back to Policy and Rights
here in Depictions Media Radio, I'm your host, Michael Cloggs. Across Canada,
we keep hearing about the housing problem and that we're hearing from the real
estate industry and the developers that there isn't enough supply. There needs to be
more supply. The reason why the cost of homes is so much is because
there's an inadequate amount of homes to go around to people. So is the
all levels of government? Are they giving free rein to developers to tear down
houses, tear down whole neighborhoods and rebuild them so that they have these high
rise condos and and or shall we say that they are building townhouse complexes by
the droves, claiming that this is going to be more affordable, more accommodating
and support the Canadian growth. Meanwhile, if it's supposed to be affordable,
by which meatristic are they using to determine if it's if it's affordable or not
affordable When some of these townhouses are going for three hundred thousand or more a
piece, So is that an affordable level for the average family to find a
home is or is that still out of reach for the average when we look
at rents, especially in the area which we are in existence, that a
rental that would accommodate to adults and a child is going to cost about two
thousand dollars a month. Again, we asked the question is that affordable and
the idea of subsidized housing or housing that they could be partly be paid for
by the government. The list of people trying to get that particular type of
housing programs is more than just around the block. Let's say it loops around
a city because there isn't much available that way. We're going to hear from
a program in Toronto that is being sponsored by levels of government and the Minister
of Finance, Christia Friedland, is going to be at this event as they're
talking about the programs that they have put in place in order to create a
twelve acre housing development in Ontario near Toronto. The question is what are the
particulars of such a program and how can it be put into other areas without
disrupting too much of what is going on or should we be looking at other
alternatives and limiting and limiting the growth of our cities. So why don't we
hear what a press conference that happened late last week just before we jumped into
the International Court, hearings that happened at the Hague between Israel and South Africa.
So why don't we listen to this past conference that happened in Toronto Thursday
of last week. Good afternoon everyone. My name is Andrew Joyner, Managing
Director and head of Multifamily at Trikon Residential on behalf of my partners at Kilmer
Group and Dream. We are incredibly proud to be here today to host Minister
Freeland and discuss a wonderful public private partnership that delivers affordable rental housing solutions at
scale and strengthens the social fabric of our city. Five years ago, our
partnership was selected to develop these twelve acres of land and create a first of
its kind, one hundred percent purpose built rental community that includes thirty percent affordable
housing and in many ways is a pioneering model for city building. I say
this for a few reasons. First, the significance of Canary Landing lies not
only in its scale, but in its approach which could only be realized through
the vision, support and coordination of all three levels of government, including our
Cornerstone cmhc RCFI loan, the City of Toronto Open Door Program, direct investment,
and provincial land contribution. Here at Canary Landing, across twenty five hundred
rental homes, market and affordable homes are all finished to the same standard and
have been integrated in a checkerboard throughout the community as they should always be,
to offer residents equal access to amenities and community programming. This ensures that all
residents, regardless of income, can thrive together. Secondly, sustainability is at
the forefront of Canary Landing. Built to lead gold standards, Canary Landing is
thirty percent more energy efficient than comparable buildings. And Finally, what truly sets
Canary Landing apart is our focus on resident experience. Acclaimed architects from Denmark,
Kobe and Toronto Zone Architects Alliance have created landmark buildings that are more than just
structures their homes, and they are designed to enhance our residence lives. We've
built bright, livable suites that are larger than market averages and designed with end
users in mind. And we've designed and programmed our amenities to foster connection and
build community. Today, Maple House, the first phase of Canary Landing,
stands completed with seven hundred and seventy homes, including two hundred and thirty one
of affordable homes, and constructed in record time. We have hundreds of happy
residents living in the community, and we've worked closely with affordable housing partners such
as Woodgreen, Interval House, Wigwaman, Costy and March of Dimes as well
as the City of Toronto through an open market call to ensure that these homes
reach those who need them most. Looking ahead, over the next two years,
the remaining phases of Canary Landing will complete and we look forward to delivering
thousands more much needed rental homes. CMHC is estimated that Canada needs another three
point five million homes by twenty thirty to restore affordability. Increasing the supply of
purpose built rental homes are a matter of national significance and Trichon, Kilmer and
Dream are incredibly proud to be part of the solution in closing. Canary Landing
is a special community and one of Canada's finest examples of city building is also
a testament to what is possible when all three levels of government partner with the
private sector to work towards a common goal introducing rental housing supply, providing affordable
homes for key workers and their families, in creating communities that will have a
positive and lasting impact for generations to come. Now it is my great honor
to introduce Minister Freeland, who continues to play a pivotal role in delivering complete
communities just like Canary Landing across Canada. RADI don't sue the Mississauga to credit.
There's ani shnabig dechi. They went then. I am so, so
so delighted to be here in Toronto today with my wonderful colleague, the local
MP Mercy In and with you, Andrew, and with the team of people
who have made I believe, you know, this truly historic community possible.
Here we are in Canary Landing, right next to this Dillery district. There
are some things that I really want to highlight about why I'm here today,
why Marcy is here today, and why we really kind of want to take
a metaphorical highlighter and point out to the people of Toronto, the people of
Ontario, the people of Canada. What is being done here, because I
think it's really important and something that we need to lean into and do more
of. Canary Landing is the largest residential development in Canada. It includes two
in five hundred and ten purpose built rental units, six hundred and eighty five
of which will be at below market rent. Those six hundred and eighty five
units will be some of them already are for families, victims of domestic violence,
seniors, persons with disabilities, artists, and indigenous people. Andrew pointed
out something really important about this development and something that I hope will be a
model for how we build affordable housing in Canada going forward, and that is
that, like you guys walked around with us, these are really nice places
to live. And one of the really important things is there is no difference
between the apartments that are going to rent at market rent and the apartments that
will rent at affordable levels. Andrew described it as a checkerboard system. Why
I want to emphasize that is, look, if you do not have a
place to live, the single most important thing is just to have a home
to be warm and dry and safe. But the apartments here are more than
housing. They're true homes, and they are about creating a true community for
all the people who live here, the people who are paying market once and
the people who are living in affordable housing. And that integration is something that
we really really need to strive for, because that's about building Canada. It's
about building community, and it's about giving a real chance for the most vulnerable
Canadians to truly thrive. People are already moving in to these buildings and Marthy
and I, I think both of us were really touched by a story that
Semina from Costy told us about a family that is one of her clients who
have moved in here, and some of the units here like they're units for
families. We looked at a four bedroom, a four bedroom apartment, a
really nice one that's going to rent for nine hundred and fifty dollars, and
hearing from Semina how living here for a family that was struggling to find housing
has already transformed the life of the family of the children. That's what this
is all about. And Andrew was quite right to point out we need to
do a lot more. We need to build more homes faster in Canada.
I do want to say, though the job is getting done, and it's
being done in a way to really transform lives and build communities, I do
want to take a moment to recognize and thank the skilled trades people whose hands
and whose minds are building these homes. We need more of them too.
These are exactly the types of homes that Toronto needs, that Canada needs,
and we need them right now, and we need more of this kind of
housing built faster. That's where I am delighted that our government has been able
to support a significant number of these new rental homes through our Apartment Construction Loan
Program the new name for the program that Andrew referred to as the RCFI.
Specifically, that support helped to build one thousand, six hundred and sixteen rental
units here at Canary Landing with an investment of eight hundred and one million dollars.
The Apartment Construction Loan Program is a really important program. We topped it
up with fifteen billion dollars in the fall Economic Statement because it makes the math
work for builders like the people who built this great project, and it creates
the right financial circumstances for them to build purpose built rental communities like this one
rather than condos. We're seeing right now what that money can do, what
that money is already doing for Toronto, for Canada, Canary Landing, alexeanple

November, I announced seven major rental housing construction projects being built across Toronto using
the Apartment Construction Loan Program, including two thousand, six hundred and forty four
new rental homes. Cherry House here at Canary Landing is one of those projects,
and people will start moving in next year August right and just last month,
I was proud to stand with the Prime Minister and many of my colleagues,
together with Mayor Chow to announce an agreement with the City of Toronto on
the Housing Accelerator Fund. That federal fund is going to provide an additional four
hundred and seventy one million dollars to the City of Toronto to get more homes
built faster. It will fast track nearly twelve thousand new homes in Toronto over
the next three years and more than fifty three thousand new homes over the next
decade. Our government is also making the path to home ownership more affordable for
more Canadians through the new tax free first Home Savings Account that was introduced last
year. So ekanayin du verseque do la port la chad le premier ropriee larchent

which is tax free in tax freeout is making a real difference in the lives
of hundreds of thousands of Canadians, and I have an announcement about it to
make today, which is, we can now tell you that more than five
hundred thousand Canadians, half a million Canadians have now opened a tax free first
home savings account, and that account only became available in the spring, So
that is more than half a million Canadians who are one step closer to getting
those first keys of their own. Half a million Canadians who are taking concrete,
practical steps every day in their lives to achieve the dream of owning their
first home. And I'm really glad that the government is there to support those
five hundred thousand hard working Canadians, whether it's helping Canadians to save for their
first home like those half a million Canadians who've now opened a first home savings
account, or getting more homes built faster. Our government is going to continue
working every single day to deliver for Canadians and to make housing more affordable for
people from coast to coast to coast. Just before I close, i'd like
to say, as the for University Rosedale, and as someone who is really
proud and grateful to call this great city home. I'm glad that our federal
government has provided more support to Toronto than any other federal government in Canadian history.
Since twenty fifteen, the federal government has provided five point four seven billion
dollars in direct support to the City of Toronto. In twenty twenty three twenty
twenty four, the current fiscal year alone, the government the federal government is
providing more than one point five billion dollars in direct support to the city,
and I'd like people to compare that to the situation in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen,
the year we were first elected, when the federal government was providing just
two hundred million dollars to the City of Toronto. Toronto is such an important
part of our government's economic plan. That is why our government has invested in,
is investing in, and will continue to invest in the City of Toronto,
including support for terrific projects like this one. We know this is an
amazing city, and we also know we all need to work together to make
it even better. Today's announcement is a great start for me to the new
year, and our government is looking forward to continuing to deliver for the people
of Toronto and for all Canadians. So thank you very much for your time.
Thank you Andrew, Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard and
is continuing to work so hard to bring this project to life. And I'm
now going to pass it over to my wonderful colleague Mercy or do you Mercy
nice? Oh? Oh? Does this work? Or do I get rid
of it? Is it okay? All right? I'm gonna just push up
a little that way. Hello, everyone, I too want to start by
acknowledging that we are on the traditional territories of many nations, including the Mississauga's
with the credit, Theanna Shnave Chippewa, the Hoda Nshon, and the Wendat
People's. Thanks so much for the introductions, Jeff Andrew. It's great to
be here with you and your team. Welcome to Tonal Center everyone. So
I'm note because I want to share with you a little bit about what was
going through my head as we went through the tour and we saw that four
bedroom that Christian talked about where a parent, women and children now live,
the stigma attached to housing. Here's what you might not know. Saint James
Town. That's where my family's story begins, and so I know a thing
or two about supportive housing. I know a lot about that, and to
walk through and to see that you can't tell the difference between who has and
who doesn't is extraordinary because there is stigma when it comes to housing. Christia,
You've always stuck with the city so well, this country so well.
I am proud to serve with him. To all all these familiar faces for
local heroes. Af affordably, especially when it comes to housing, is clearly
your passion. You're doing all the work and we're seeing the fruits of your
labor, and that is really really important. The size and scale of this
project is credible. This is a community. It's good to be here together
to show what it means to listen to Torontonians, to listen to Canadians to
get projects that this done. The thirty percent of this project that Christian was
talking about specifically for women feing domestic violence, seniors, people with disabilities.
You would have noticed the width of the quarters and the units accessibilities important.
This project is about looking out for people that are at risk, and it's
about building communities that provide for the people that are most impacted when it comes
to a lack of housing options, and I have to say this overlaps and
Christian knows we all work together when it comes to this. With my friend
and colleague, Minister Kira, she's doing all that she can to help seniors,
people with disabilities, and we know when it comes to those disproportionately impact
impacted. Accessible housing is hard, and it's hard when you have reduced mobility,
especially for older people, for seniors, and this housing benefits all of
those groups. The proximity of businesses and transit here will goes such a long
way. You've thought about everything, you thought about it, you put your
hearts into this and we can see that this piece regarding women and children fleeing
violence builds on the agreements that we've signed through the National Action Plan to End
Gender Based Violence, and I'm pleased to say that we now have signed agreements
with every province and territory and money is already flowing Ontario just a couple of
months ago. We got this done by working with governments every political strike,
because we know that to build a gender equal country, we need to make
sure women are safe, and today's announcement has a lot to do with that.
It's tackling an issue is deeply rooted as intimate partner violence. Where do
you go when you have to leave? What happens when you have to leave
an abusive home. We're here today to show what it means when governments listen,
when they actually put forward solutions that show results for people that don't always
have a vis at the decision making table. And again Christian mentioned it,
and I'm going to reiterate it because it's important. This community we're talking about
is two thousand, five hundred and ten, one hundred and eighty five of
those homes affordable homes. That affordable piece, as Christian mentioned, is so
crucial because it is a commitment to build up this city in a way that
works for more than just people at the top, because my family certainly wasn't
And I can't wait to see how this community develops over the next couple of
years because it's a model. This can be a model for communities across this
country. This is game changing for people in Toronto, for people across this
city. So a hearty thank you to everyone involved, and there are many
of you here. Thank you for your work, thank you for your passion.
Our focus on affordability goes in need the speed we're getting homes built through
the Accelerated Fund, and the fact, as Christian mentioned and shared today,
because it's important half frillion Canadians, five hundred thousand Canadians, many of them
young people, because I've spoken to them across this country, who have tapped
into who have opened a tax free first home savings account. It's not by
accident that this happens. This is the result of putting forward a plan that
works for everyone to close. Thank you again. I really believe that this
is what community building. You know, we sometimes hear that word. Are
those words community building? This is what it looks like. Entre von ensemble
and so a able bab thank him, Merson and Andrew. I'm giving the
mic back to you. What you saying is the Q and a portion of
the events they get, don't It'll be one question when follow up there's a
microphone just there. You just did your name in your media. I'll also
feel that they get get TV made xilliar and he courtious of Good Afternoon.
Deputy Prime Minister simoned away from CBC, could we get you standing up point?
I didn't want to presume you don't want to ask someone else Deputy Prime
Minister, documents obtained by Canadian Press. Sure your government was warned that housing
construction have not kept up with population growth, largely because of Canada's immigration targets.
Why did your government not heed that learning in lower immigration levels. Thank
you for the question, Simon, And let me say this. As a
country, Canada is probably the country in the world which is the most welcoming
of new Canadians, which is the most welcoming of immigrants, And as Finance
Minister, I have to say that is a huge economic strength. It is
a real driver of our country's economic growth. And at a time when all
of the industrialized countries in the world are facing huge demographic challenges, we are
extremely fortunate as a country that we have the social capacity to welcome immigrants.
You are quite right that if we want to be a country that welcomes new
Canadians, and I strongly believe that's the right thing for all of us,
we have to build more homes faster, and that's one of the reasons i'm
here. Our government is totally committed to getting more homes built for Canadians.
You have seen that unrelenting focus for weeks and weeks and weeks for months and
months and months, and you know, we started the parliamentary session in the
fall by lifting the GST on purpose built rental on projects exactly like this,
one huge impact. You know, Mike Moffatt estimates that's two hundred to three
hundred thousand new homes will be built. You saw in the fall Economic Statement
we added fifteen billion dollars to the Apartment Construction Loan Financing Program, which is
financing projects exactly like this. And one of the reasons I'm so glad to
be here today is to highlight the work on getting more homes built faster.
And we have been pushing very, very hard over the past few months.
But it's not brand new. This project started in twenty eighteen and was made
possible by programs that were in place then. And the final thing that I
will highlight when it comes to getting more homes built faster, which we absolutely
need. It is the most pressing economic and also social priority is the Housing
Accelerator Fund that is having a transformative impact. That is something that was launched
in the twenty twenty two budget. There was a lot of eye rolling,
a lot of skepticism, will this ever happen? Will it make a difference,
Well, it is, it's being rolled out. We did a deal
with Toronto before the end of the year and that will be more than fifty
thousand additional homes get built and it's formed in seventy one million dollars for the
city of Toronto. Madame definitely remainments. Push you well in men recan San

to set in prior rason to a second question, depic prem Minister, what's
Canada's position on the merits of South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court
of Justice. Thanks for the question. We're aware of the filing and our
government is reviewing the case carefully. Why won't Canada take a position on this
though? Okay Enfance The MP John donks question question Oliver more with the Globe
and Mail. In the remarks, you talked about all the things your government
has done for Toronto and the city's position and response is that's great, thank
you very much for what you've done in the past. But what we need
now is a commitment to twenty and fifty million dollars by the twenty sixth of
January, or you'll have to raise the taxes by six percentage points. Is
you're definitently going to make that commitment and if you don't, do you feel
you are going to have to wear that tax increase? Thanks for the question,
Oliver. And I made a point in my remarks not only to talk
about what we've done in the past for the City of Toronto, but what
we're doing today and tomorrow, and I think it's important to highlight that.
In the twenty three twenty four fiscal year alone, direct transfers from the federal
government to the City of Toronto will be more than one point five billion dollars.
It is a lot of money, and it is particularly a significant sum
when you look at it in historical context. And the historical context is that
when we formed government in twenty five twenty, in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen,
the level of direct federal support for the city was just two hundred million.
So we are a government that one hundred percent believes in supporting cities. We
are a government that one hundred percent recognizes how important Toronto is as a city,
as a community, as a great place where we all live, and
also frankly, as an economic engine of Ontario and Canada. And that is
why we are aggressing, aggressing. We are investing aggressively and energetically in the
city and we're going to continue to do that. Next question on the Honda
plans or potential plans for ev plant, did your goverment government officials meet with
Honda this week as expected and is your government willing to offer more incentives?
There were various meetings with Honda by officials across the government. I had a
meeting with Honda and it's a company at has been a very important investor in
Canada, an important provider of great jobs. That's a very important relationship and
our work with them is ongoing. Adrian Globel CTV National News High Minister,
following up on South Africa and their filings at the International Court today. Your
government's been aware of South Africa's position for days now. Why won't you share
our government's position with Canadians for against neutral, whatever it might be. Why
is it taking so long? We are aware of the filing. We are
reviewing it carefully. That's the same answer you gave, Minister, with all
due respect, can we because that's the truth, that's the position. It's
one question, one follow up. Yeah, I didn't have a follow up.
There wasn't a follow up yet, so I'll ask it now. Thank
you today. A recent poll by Avocas Data suggests that the Liberal government is
falling further out of fire with Canadians. If there was an election held today.
The poll suggests that forty one percent of Canadians would vote for the Conservative
government twenty excuse me, twenty four percent for your government. Why do you
believe that your government continues to fall further out of favor with Canadians and what
work do you believe needs to be done. Really, thank you for that
question, because I wake up every single morning I know Mercy wakes up every
single morning also thinking about the challenges Canadians face right now and thinking about how
we can work harder and more effectively to meet those challenges. That's what we're
doing. From my perspective. The single biggest challenge Canadians are facing right now
is housing, and that's why we're here making a housing announcement meant highlighting some
of the really important work that is happening, pointing to a model approach to
building not only affordable housing, but real communities, talking about the First Home
Savings Account, highlighting that so that Canadians know that's a really effective way to
save for that first home of your own. I recognize that these are really
hard times for a lot of Canadians, and our government's response is going to
be to get up every day, to focus on the challenge at hand,
and to work as hard as we can to answer it. Minister David Ryder
from Toronto start, I'm going to follow on Oliver's question about the Toronto budget
and that I'm hoping you'll look forward and not back at past investments and answer
yes or no. Will your government give the City of Toronto the two hundred
and fifty million dollars this year it says it needs to cope with refugee and
silent climate costs that other cities simply or nazi. So again, David,
thank you for the question. I in my sort of initial remarks and in
my answer, was also looking to the investments we're providing right now. We
are still in the twenty three twenty four fiscal year, one point five billion
dollars is a very significant federal investment, the Housing Accelerator Fund, which was
announced just before Christmas of nearly half a billion dollars unprecedented and support for exactly
what Canadians and the people of Toronto need. So I just really want to
emphasize for people that the federal government has been there for Toronto. We are
here for Toronto right now, and we will continue to be here for Toronto
in the future because that's what we believe in. You know, we are.
You have with you here to cabinet ministers and Toronto MPs who love this
city, who believe in this city, and who believe in investing it in
it, and those are not just words. That money is arriving in the
coffers of Toronto and is delivering projects for this city every single day. To
the particular question of asylum seekers, I don't know if Semina is still here,
you know. I want to start by saying that this is an incredibly
challenging time in the world right now. It is probably a time of more
geopolitical I was going to say something kind of academic, like turbulence or volatility,
but it's more than that. You know, war has really come to
a lot of people right now. It's a really, really hard time to
be a human being in many parts of the world, and the whole world
is feeling that with a surge in the refugee challenge, with a surge in
the number of asylum seekers around, urging us all to recognize how lucky we
are to be Canadian and to have real compassion for the millions and millions and
millions of people around the world who are in a much more challenging situation.
And I do also want to say that I can't name a country in the
world that is more welcoming of refugees thanks to the work of people like Sonona
and her organization than Canada. That's the right thing to do, and you
should be glad that we're a country that is able to do that. You
said in your question that the challenge of asylum seekers is particularly acute for Toronto.
I think that's a really good point. The one point five billion that
I mentioned that we are providing this year to the City of Toronto includes stepped
up support for asylum seekers and we continue to work with the city on that
issue. Just to follow that, I was talking with the municipal finance expert,
probably the best one in Canada, who talking about the city's predicament,
said, the federal government controls which people come from other countries. It can
guide them to places. It is not in any way a city responsibility.
Yet all those shelter costs, specifically shelter costs fall on the City of Toronto,
and why would that be? So I'll ask you, why would those
costs fall on the City of Toronto and why not on your government? As
I said, in recognition of the asylum challenge, that one point five billion
dollars that the city is receiving in this fiscal year includes major stepped up support
for asylum seekers that was announced over the summer. Our government across the country
this year is devoting more than four billion dollars to support asylum seekers. I
think it's also important for us to look at the challenge in the round and
we are doing that. And as I said, it is an issue where
we are supporting the city today and we're going to continue working with the city
on it. Nice question. Question, Okay, so time Minister and Jadam
Leis McCain and press. Hi, nice to see you in Toronto. Welcome,
followed you all the way here. First question, I was wondering what
do you make of your security detail arresting David Menzies. I want to start
with what was important about Monday. And what was important about Monday, January
eighth was that was the fourth anniversary of a date that I think forever needs
to be marked and circled in black on the calendar of all Canadians. It
was a tragedy for Canada. Canadians were criminally murdered, and I want to
say to the families and loved ones of the people who were murdered that Canada
remembers. Canada will not forget and that's why I was in Richmond Hill.
Mercy was there too, to show that this is a Canadian tragedy that Canada
remembers and Canada will not forget on the incident. As you guys know very
well, Canada is a rule of law country. Canada is a democracy.
Operational decisions about law enforcement are taken by the police of jurisdiction. Quite appropriately,
political elected officials have no role in the taking of those decisions. And
that's why I don't have any further comment on immigration and housing. Your government
talks a lot about increasing housings apply, but obviously you know that takes time.
So I'm wondering what about demand? Do you believe that tempering demand by
tempering a migration flows into the country could be part of the solution to the
housing crisis. Thank you for the question, and I do want to start
by saying I think it's important for us as Canadians to recognize the really positive
role that immigration plays for our country. Canada is, i would say,
of in the world uniquely welcoming of immigrants. That is a real economic strength
for our country right now in the wealthy, industrialized world, one of the
big long term economic and social challenges is demographics. Thanks to the fact that
we're a country that it knows how to welcome immigrants, that is a challenge
that Canada is uniquely positioned to night and I think it's important for us to
recognize that and really realize what a fundamental economic and social strength of our country
that is. Having said that, you are absolutely right that for immigration to
work as a Canadian economic strategy, we have to be sure that housing supply
keep up, and that is what our government is absolutely focused on doing.
And I think we do have to be sure that our immigration system is working
as intended. You will have heard my colleague Mark Miller talk about international students
and talk about the work that he is doing to be absolutely certain that when
people come here as a student, they are coming to a school that is
really going to educate them, and that they're coming to a school that it's
ensuring that there is housing in place for them. That is a very reasonable
expectation of international students and their parents when they come to Canada, and that
is an area where there is absolutely work to do. All right, next
question, so are all these housing developments feeding our common theme of Hey,
let's support corporate greed or are they really gonna help people find uh adequate homes
and housing so that we can have a happy life. W When I look
around the area in which we we live in exist in British Columbia, I
see the ten cities. They're more and more of those. We see more
and more evictions of these ten cities where they're sending the police to come tear
them apart and confiscate property, whatever they can do to be rid of the
ten cities. And at the same time they're that they're more renoviction's happening.
People just being put on the street because hey, we're going to tear down
what it is that you're living and we're going to put something else up.
And one in the meantime, it displaces people too that the cost of the
new housing is out of reach for the family that they just pushed out onto
the street. There's a lot of issues around homelessness, housing and what to
do about it as Canada cities are hitting a growth pain and how to deal
with more people moving into the cities. Thank you for listening to policy and
