Every Ontarian deserves a safe place to call home.
Today, we're launching a new phase of our campaign against Premier Doug Ford's plans to use the notwithstanding clause to allow cities to arrest people experiencing homelessness.

67% of Canadians Recognize Homelessness as a Housing Issue Needing Immediate Action
New polling analysis for @CAEHomelessness, @CREA_ACI, and @chfcanada

Homelessness is a crisis — not a crime. Forcing people out of encampments with police won’t solve the problem. All Ontario's party leaders must commit to an urgent, compassionate, housing response.

Ontario municipalities warn that homelessness could worsen without immediate action.
@amopolicy: an economic downturn could make the already record high figure of 81k people experiencing homelessness in #Ontario skyrocket to 294k.

Homelessness is a crisis—not a crime. Forcing people out of encampments with police won’t solve the problem. Let’s push for an urgent, compassionate, housing response that works.

⚠ In 2024, 80,000 Ontarians were homeless.
📈 That number that has grown by over 25% since 2022, just two years ago.
A report out today from @AMOPolicy shows the depths of Ontario’s homelessness crisis and how we can solve it:

This is one of biggest disasters in Ontario's history, second only to 1998 ice storm when 100,000 people were forced from their homes.
It's time to treat homelessness like the disaster it is.
🧵@AMOPolicy has released a devastating report about the state of homelessness in Ontario, which gives us our most accurate figure of how many Ontarians are currently homeless: 81,515 — a 25% increase in two years — of whom 41,512 are chronically homeless. amo.on.ca/sites/default/file…

A Shiver Is All
Summer drops off to Autumn
Leaves change and blow free
Days darken early
A shiver is all
A clear cold night
Wind whistling through trees
Frost keeping me up
A shiver is all...
...A cold dank stairwell
One blanket not two
No pillow for my head
A shiver is all
A sweet Christmas home
Cozy and warm
Comfort completely
But for me, a shiver is all

Joining Guelph and St. Thomas, Chatham-Kent has flipped their position on the use of the Notwithstanding Clause to clear encampments, which under @fordnation remains on the table. We have successfully flipped three municipalities whose Mayors requested the use of the Clause!
Congratulations to Chatham Kent for rejecting the use of the Notwithstanding Clause!

🆕Housing concerns aren't subsiding, but are getting more intense as a top issue.

"Ontario cannot enforce its way out of homelessness. This response will lead to more people dying from overdoses in alleyways, and homelessness will spread further into all corners of communities."

From @abacusdataca: 40% of Ontarians oppose the use of the Notwithstanding Clause to clear encampments while just 12% strongly agree with it. Overall, 69% of Ontarians are opposed, neutral, or unsure.
Just 1 in 5 @fordnation supporters strongly agree with the use of the Clause.

Doug Ford is proposing a 'get tough' enforcement led response to encampments - an approach Ontarians do not support.
In this @abacusdataca poll, commissioned @CAEHomelessness, Ontarians clearly support affordable housing over law enforcement.

Ontarians don't support Doug Ford's new costly, ineffective and harmful encampment plan. They believe affordable housing is the solution to encampments and homelessness. Our new poll released today in the @TorontoStar ⬇️
