I don't think most people understand how impossible it is to afford market rent on ODSP. My mom receives $1,150 a month, and before my brother passed, he received $926 a month. They lived together, which means the total income of this household per month was $2,076.

Sarah is the only elected official across all levels of governments to come out and say the right thing. To not be moved by fear but by her commitments to justice, peace, and human rights. We need to protect her and uplift these demands.
I'm reflecting on my role as a politician who is participating in this settler colonial system, and I ask that all politicians do the same.

I was violently arrested by HPS alongside my friends. I was criminally charged for obstruction. When I asked them what I was obstructing they said I obstructed a “peace” officer. These are the same “peace” officers in this video. Make it make sense.
Here is the footage of Hamilton Police arresting 3 Black youth early this afternoon.These violent attacks are a reminder of outright police brutality & systemic racism.
Why are Black youth being arrested when they are advocating for better housing options for residents?

If housing is a human right, then we need to abolish market rent and establish more options for rent geared to income at the very least. I'm tired of seeing developments go up every 6 months that are advertised as "affordable housing." Affordable to who?

This is so gut wrenching to me. I’ve watched countless tents that belonged to people who are unhoused be destroyed by city staff, municipal law enforcement, and Hamilton police. I’ve seen their extreme weather supports like propane tanks get confiscated.
Protesters at Confederation park, right across from City Hall and beside the NAC and Rideaul Canal, appear to be building some type of wooden structure. They've also collected a stockpile of propane tanks and diesel fuel.

Elected officials have a stake in this too. If ODSP rates aren't at least doubled, you will have blood on your hands. ODSP's legislated poverty is the reason why many disabled people are considering MAiD, and the expansion tells us our lives don't matter. We deserve better.

If not rent geared to income, then ODSP rates need to increase to consider market rent. ODSP rates should be increased PERIOD. City/urban planners, developers, and architects have questions about fairness, justice, and accessibility. You should be advocating for this too.

The average of a 1-bedroom apartment in Hamilton is $1,514. This amount subtracted from their combined monthly income would leave $562. One person wouldn't have a room, and $562 wouldn't be enough to cover the costs of utilities, food, and transportation.

In 2003 Chevranna Abdi, a 26-year-old Black trans woman, was arrested by police and dragged face down seven flights of stairs. She died in police custody due to their hatred and prejudice.
HPS did not mourn her death nor did they take responsibility.

Having experienced a number of institutional failures myself and just this year alone, I know it only takes one more failure to consider “maybe MAiD is for me”. An intrusive thought/nightmare turned reality that many disabled people experience. I’m scared for us.

You’re saying the solution is to increase the inflated budget of almost $196M? If HPS is failing to respond to ongoing threats with their million dollar surpluses, what makes you think with more funding they can?
If only schools, teachers, & students had this kind of investment.

Not to make this an election issue BUT imagine if Keanin Loomis is elected. Landlords will feel empowered to jack up their rental prices even higher...
