@cbctoronto: Toronto spends $786 million a year on shelters, but top mayoral candidates have very different plans for those funds. CBC's Isaac Callan breaks down the key proposals from Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford. #CBCNews #CBCToronto #Politics #Toronto #Housing

⚫️ Thomas Yanuziello 🇨🇦 :

nothing can be done as long as Ford remains Premier

valodshah :

it's very easy to eliminate poverty and homelessness and 90% of the problems of society Universal livable income is the solution

Goofy_goober70minus1 :

Maybe it’s an issue with doug ford? Toronto is just more populated.

A-j P Reid :

stop building shelter build more supportive housing and housing ...shelter are not working because they're no shelter spaces anymore

𓆏 Sid 𓆏 :

They do need to reinvent the wheel. Toronto is too expensive to live but still sold as this luxury big city with anything and everything you could want so everyone goes there just to lose everything they worked for

Officebot :

Imagine how much you would save if you stopped spending money on safe injection sites and started spending the money on treatment.

Kashkow :

less per capita then london.

Blynn 🇨🇦 🍁 :

Revamp a building for tiny apartments

Julio.coolio :

they aren't the top. just the richest. if you cover any of the other 50 candidates I'm sure there would be a new top candidate

TeaDot🇨🇦 :

ppl need geared to income or the amount of social assistance needs to be raised to meet rental prices

MEL :

Forced?

D :

Daisy Stewart :

Just give them money?

M :

What if they are addicts and refuse to stop. Let’s help the people looking for help.

modernplate24 :

Didn’t Bradford vote against shelters, supportive housing and preventing evictions?

Gungis Bumbledeer :

China has almost completely eliminated homelessness, why can’t Toronto?

Katsun🇨🇦🍃 :

It’s the fcking price of RENT! Landlords sit on the local city council boards! Why would the LANDLORDS fix the affordability problem? It affects THEIR POCKETS!?😡😡😡😡😡😡 1 bedroom apartment is over $1600 in American dollars that’s $1100 😡😡😡😡

Susan L. :

Brad wants to privatize our water??

ttyl :

Toronto has the most homeless in all cities in ontario?? well no fickin shit bud..wow..great insight

FixTheInternet :

That’s about $40,000 per person. Toronto is blowing money on staff and expenses instead of giving the money directly to the people who need it. Give the money directly to the landlords and provide restricted & secure spending accounts for each person and not gift cards.

Taras 🇨🇦 :

divide $786M by the 19k homeless people and you get $41k each per year! If we just gave them all $30,000 each they could afford a place! And we pay less!🙄

iggy :

they are full of s*** they will never fix homelessness 🤪🤪🤪 look back at 40 years ago. do the data to now and it continues to grow. they all lie and lie and lie

Ashligator :

It needs to come from the province and feds.

Mr.goodie :

Ok but are those numbers per capita? Obviously toronto with its almost 3m residents are gonna have 19k and be on top like what is this reporting

chris :

it's because their leaving 💯
