Ontario’s homelessness crisis is out of control. Something needs to be done — but it shouldn’t include punishing people forced to live in encampments. They have nowhere else to go. This is why we have joined the Encampment Justice Coalition. We are 60 organizations — and growing — working across communities in Ontario. Together, we’ve written to the Premier asking his government to rescind Bill 6, the Safer Municipalities Act. This Bill — taken directly from failed American policy — won’t make anyone any less homeless. But it will hurt people and greatly increase policing and prison costs — paid for by your taxes. All while American tariffs continue to make life harder and less affordable for everyone. To address encampments, Ontario must commit to proven solutions that respect people’s human rights — especially safe, affordable housing. Read our letter to the Premier:https://tinyurl.com/EJC-Bill6
