Plante a “Liberal-NDP mayor”
Pierre Poilievre continues to lambaste Valérie Plante, calling her a Liberal-NDP mayor for not getting tough on homelessness.
What is his solution? (Silence.)
The Gazette reports on people in Ahuntsic mobilizing against a homeless shelter. It’s “near a daycare and several schools.” What location in the city is not near one or both of those normal urban elements? Same story on Global.
My prediction: we’re soon going to see something very much like concentration camps proposed by Poilievre or someone like him. Or enforced.
As a contrast, Mansion Global swoons over TMR.

The, uh, money quote from that last article: “Overall, ‘TMR really feels like a gated community,’ said Montanaro.”

It is, along one side anyway.
One real estate agent cited calls Park Ex an “emerging neighbourhood” which in their lingo probably means a place where they have just begun to make huge profits.

The tories are big on telling people off, but really thin on actual plans. They talk about inflation, but are they willing to enact price controls and forced salary increases by CPI? They want the cities to solve homelessness, but don’t have a plan to provide money. The same way that they want to get rid of the carbon tax, but won’t say how they will make up that tax shortfall. They are big on talk, but we all have to put their feet to the fire and ask… WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM?

It’s much like how Ensemble complains about city hall without contributing any constructive ideas. It’s always easier to be in opposition and snipe from the sidelines than to actually manage a government and its budget priorities.

The real estate talk always makes me laugh because all the people I knew who grew up in TMR couldn’t wait to gtfo when they turned 18.

Gated communities are not meant to appeal to 18 year olds. Quite the opposite.
