Sunshine broke through snow fall and high winds in downtown Toronto on April 22 as protesters demanded more affordable housing. At the site of yet another luxury condo project, members of Socialist Action and ACORN derided the up-side-down priorities of corporate capitalism in Canada’s biggest city. A federal budget that promises over $100 billion in new spending earmarks only $2.5 billion (and re-cycles $1.3 billion in existing funding) to build, repair and support 35,000 existing housing units — at a time when there is an urgent need for at least 1 million new homes per year if there is to be any hope of putting an end to homelessness and chronic under-housing. Venezuela could do it. What about Canada?
In the Trudeau/Freeland government, clearly it is warships and fighter jets that take priority over affordable housing.
