They keep voting FOR it. If they vote for it, put up a venue.
It’s more ridiculous that they vote for it then fail.

Voting is the easy part, I guess. Then reality sets in on where to situate it.
Everybody knows these facilities can be difficult to manage. And what are the rules that the province mandates? A church can set its own rules, but a publicly funded service cannot.

So why aren’t these operating in every municipality? Or several in each? There’s clearly politics at play here.

Does anyone know if there is still a large black barricade in front of Our Place?

It’s 10 ****ing nights.
And it’s only nights like 7pm to 7am.
That these politicians that voted for it can’t get it together it’s ****ing lame.
I cannot imagine how terrible each of these councillors must be at their jobs outside of council. Every one must be an abject failure.

On the good news front, apparently just about all of us qualify for welfare now...

Old White Man On A Canadian Island
Posted Yesterday, 12:37 PM
A three-day drive around small towns and cities in Southern Ontario brought us face-to-face with Canada’s homeless crisis, but it could have been anywhere.
It could have been in Medicine Hat, Alta., where a 2021 claim that it was the first Canadian city to end homelessness lasted just five months. Community opposition has halted the operation of the only daytime service centre for vulnerable residents and forestalled the centre’s bid to add some overnight beds.
It could have been on Salt Spring Island, B.C., until recently the province’s highest per capita capital of homelessness, where, according to the president of the local chamber of commerce, “derelict sailboats and multiple people living on little floating rafts” can be seen in Ganges Harbour.
