This is important: A prospective Ford government has signalled its intention to expand prisons and put homeless people in jail rather than build the housing that people need and that is their fundamental right.
I don't want a province that makes people homeless then throws them in prison.

"Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.
"If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not 'inalienable' and they're not 'rights.'
"We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.
"And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with."
I've been screaming this for years.

I'm grateful for PGC's SUREFIRE's list: there are many on the list for 2025 I'm looking forward to familiarizing myself with.
And, lucky me, I'm currently working on Carole Fréchette's SMALL TALK with 3rd year BFA Actors at University of Ottawa. It's a delicate, funny, melancholic play for now.
