Dispelling some myths about the right to housing, so we can use it as a principled and practical guide to solving the housing crisis: maytree.com/publications/w…
"In Ontario, if you lose your home, you get less social assistance than someone who has a home... Why punish people when we can help them get back on their feet?" — Alan Broadbent & @elizmcisaac (@maytree_canada) #onpoli tvo.org/article/how-go…
I'm very honoured to have been invited by @maytree_canada to join their Five Good Ideas series on March 26! Balancing frontline praxis with effective advocacy is … not easy. I'll be speaking to how and why frontline perspectives should be at the forefront of systems change work.

Toronto's search for a new Chief Planner is a chance to rethink the role and office. Alan Broadbent and I share a couple of ideas for reform in the latest @Maytree Opinion: maytree.com/publications/r…
This is not a serious statement of a country, in words & historical deeds, committed to supporting the international judicial institutions we helped establish. We need to hear clearly- Canada supports the provisional measures & insists on their compliance by the State of Israel.

Poverty, first. By any measure, by any standard, poverty in Canada has fallen to *historic* lows. It's been falling since the late 90s, but in the last few years, thanks to the Canada Child Benefit, it's dropped like a stone (slight rebound in '21 most likely due to pandemic)...
This is not a serious statement of a country, in words & historical deeds, committed to supporting the international judicial institutions we helped establish. We need to hear clearly- Canada supports the provisional measures & insists on their compliance by the State of Israel.
