The Mayor of @CityofRegina has called people that care about ending homelessness “an echo chamber of 300”. She knows that isn’t true.
We brought thousands of petition signatures collected over a short span of 6 weeks. Given more time it could’ve been 10s of thousands, easily.

In light of Loblaw's inept efforts on social media to justify its super-sized inflation-fueling profits, this is an opportune time to remind shoppers of four crucial economic facts regarding supermarket profitability: 🧵xitter.cf/loblawco/status/162047… #cdnecon /2

"We need safe, affordable social housing for all, now. Housing is a human right. Minister Lori Carr is bragging about empty buildings while our friends and relatives live on the street," says Tory, an organizer of the march.

About 100 people are marching in Regina in protest of low social assistance rates today. Activists say that a lack of affordable housing and low SIS and SAID rates are driving Regina's homelessness crisis. #yqr #skpoli #TheSIStemIsBroken

If our Christianity causes us to look at how a poor person spends their welfare check with inherent suspicion all while we look at how the exorbitantly rich accumulate mass amounts of wealth with inherent admiration, we need a grand reversal.

This man is a hero in #Ottawa trying to encourage the #GoHomeFluTruxKlan movement all his lonesome.
Notice how he is treated though. Shameful display of "We ArE hErE fOr YoUr FrEeDoMs"
The lone counter protester is back, and convoy supporters are honking air horns in his ears & trying to confine his movement.
Freedom of expression, not.

This is amazing!! The people in support of the #truckersforfreedom2022
raised over $6 mil in a few days 4 the protestors expenses. So, a woman named Megan Howarth started a Gofundme 4 Indigenous who don’t have clean drinking water. Nearly $500k so far! 👏🏽 gofundme.com/f/canadians-for…
Clear, undeniable data that we need more shelter spaces in Regina.
It’s only the 24th of the month and the YWCA has already turned away 181 women and 61 children. #yqr

The city created 40 spaces when there were over 100 folks at camp hope some nights. There are people out in the cold & the sask party gov´t has done nothing. A heartless gov’t is the kindest description I can think of when contemplating unhoused kin on a night like this #skpoli

The Minister’s announcement is laughable in its inadequacy. This isn’t even a meaningful reversal on direct payment. A “case by case” approach isn’t a solution to the systemic failure that is SIS. And nothing on the deep inadequacy of rates. The suffering will continue. #skpoli

When the gang house is the most welcoming place to be, maybe that’s a sign folks in poverty afflicted neighbourhoods need a place to belong in the community, without all the usual extra gatekeeping.
People don’t just want to survive, they want to live.

Sask People: Do something! We have the worst death rates and people don’t have access to HC they need.
SP Govt: But the economy! We are the best—you should be grateful. Don’t be gloomy. You should praise us.
Reality:

“If for some reason a shelter does happen to be full”…says the Minister.
😔
Let’s not act like this is an “occasional problem”, please. Let’s be honest. In #yqr shelters are full most of the time and turn people away daily.

Fixing the broken SIS system would save taxpayer money. #CampMarjorie
We are trying to help taxpayers and those needing support, alike.

You really think tent cities and a collapsed healthcare system is a “strong” foundation, dude?
