Ricardo Tranjan: Housing platforms must commit to immediate action, not only sell dreams of the future
Any new federal government needs to develop a housing platform that addresses present concerns in housing, not just make promises for the future
Found it! The housing policy that I can support for the Canadian election. Unfortunately, it wasn't developed by any of the parties running. It was written by @ricardotranjan.bsky.social of @policyalternatives.ca

It will take more than an Oscar to stop Israelβs West Bank plans
Winning an Oscar wonβt stop Israel from annexing Area C in the West Bank, as No Other Land co-director Hamdan Ballal brutally learnt, writes Leilani Farha.
"Area C is Palestine."
Oscar-winning #NoOtherLand documents the struggle in #MasaferYatta but the crisis extends through Area C. @leilanifarha.bsky.social explains how Israel denies Palestinians access to 99% of their own land & created an apartheid planning system

True. But it's hard to imagine why he would choose Mendocino in light of his flagrant hatred of a sizeable part of the electorate.
Carney like other politicians is choosing to throw Arabs/Muslims/Palestinians/ supporters under the bus. A choice that won't be kind at the ballot box. Ask Kamala.

Imagine @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social appointing Marco Mendicino as Chief of Staff. A rabidly anti-Palestinian Zionist.
The Liberal Party forgets that Arab Canadians, Muslims, Palestinians + supporters vote and our votes make a difference.
The recent U.S. election proves that. Starkly.

Also the piece misrepresents what the Courts have said. All they've said is it's a violations of security of the person to evict someone from an encampment if there are NO shelter beds or if those available are inappropriate. The Citizen should have reviewed for accuracy.
