Yeah yeah, easy to grandstand while your administration spends a gazillion dollars on cops whose purpose in this regard is to raze homeless camps.
Virtue signalling and buck-passing is Plante’s specialty.

I understand your cynicism, Ian, but there will be a moment when politicians act on this problem, and that moment is looming. As Justin Trudeau said this week, Canada has solved this problem before, so we can do it again.

Yeah well, I’ll believe it when I see it – I’m still remembering that “bib, big conversation” we were supposed to have about defunding the police.
