When Covid-19 arrived, the shameful discriminatory & racist neglect of the federal, provincial, and local governments was further exposed.

More deaths and continued refusal to act humanely.

which generates vast wealth for some to the detriment of the #right2housing, the denial of an affordable place to live in security & dignity.

Since 1998 limited progress, but some use Nov 22 for self-promotion.

“Happy”? “Celebrate”?

Canadians still unhoused and dying unnecessarily. No #R2H.

People who know what needs to be done,
have the power to do it,

Housing Day #1 in 1998 was just 3 years after the #LPC,
in Paul Martin’s budget, declared social housing no longer a federal role

But $5 Billion+ in homeownership subsidies was.
