I agree with Ryan. Collectively, over 2 generations, we have slowly and systematically deprived more and more people of their basic housing and health care needs. We must find a way, as he rightly says, to reinclude those we have excluded. #HamOnt thespec.com/opinion/contri…
@CameronKroetsch The general public may largely accept Healthcare is a out hospitals but that is a minimum compared to more integrated publicly funded health care systems as seen in Eurape. Time for care in the home as population ages.
@CameronKroetsch This is truly a fed& prov issue which they have dropped the ball on while downloading social assistance to cash strapped cities that simply cannot afford to do much more without cutting back elsewhere or further hiking taxes which in @cityofhamilton are veryhigh compared to avg.
@CameronKroetsch Make housing unconditional: theguardian.com/cities/2019/ju…
@CameronKroetsch The situation is a mental health and drug addiction issue. Those who are living on the streets because they cannot afford housing will sleep in their car, couch surf, or sleep on a park bench before they join the tent community and they will find their way.
@CameronKroetsch im sure the ON govt will compensate for loss of revenue .. seein their his cottage buddies
@CameronKroetsch Thank you....we cannot ignore those in need. Housing is a HUMAN RIGHT!
@CameronKroetsch Tell me how they were deprived ? They chose drugs over anything else in life, getting a job and being able to afford any type of housing unfortunately is not in the cards until that problem is solved first.If not the money spent on housing will be a waste, unkept to ruin !
@CameronKroetsch Stop panhandling to bleeding hearts and offer a sustainable solution. You are elected, paid a salary to perform a job. The situation with the homeless is getting out of hand and needs to be addressed. Pun intended
@CameronKroetsch Let me give you numbers, i moved into my building last October in ward 2. They are now offering the same apartment for 300 more, as of May 2023. The increase will be 2.6% on me going forward. U want to address homelessness? Address landlord greed.
@CameronKroetsch They have ended up in this position by excluding every relationship in their lives. We can’t force them to re-introduce. Unfortunately it’s on them, and the drugs have a grip they just can’t break.
