As we welcome Rosh Hashanah, we take a moment to reflect on the year behind us and look forward to the year ahead with hope and optimism.
From all of us at The Jewish Agency for Israel, Shana Tova U’Metukah! 🍎🍯
Yes, and there are other mayors who I won't name that are just as bad!
Great idea! The pressure on business to change their cash ways for such a short period of time is absurd.
Hoping all business do this and everyone flood the CRA for money back! 🙏❤️
There are lots of poverty pimps. Every organization and/or Society that's out there does some work off the backs of the poor and the homeless. Also, mental health and addiction. Call it capitalism and an everyday thing.
So why do we constantly let them do what they are doing being so substance affected, without the ability to make logical good decisions for themselves? We aren't helping by allowing these kinds of situations.
Because the people that comprise the chronically homeless, as opposed to the temporary homeless, are primarily there because of their own actions or inactions. Criminals who’ve dropped out, drug addicts committed to theft & anarchism, mentally ill refusing treatment, a myriad of problem people who have burned out families and friends, even if they’ve lost the ability to make rational decisions on their own.

Special thanks to @SaanichPolice and @WestshoreRCMP for assisting @vicpdcanada officers. A true team effort to recover the stolen taxi and arrest the suspect.
In a collaborative effort by VicPD, @SaanichPolice & @WestShoreRCMP, a female was arrested following a robbery involving a taxi on Friday night.

But will that stop him?
A Canadian immigration lawyer says now that Donald Trump is a convicted felon, he is technically barred from crossing the border into Canada.

Keeping up the pressure, and wow it's so unacceptable and impractical! Better can be done!
I am also very disappointed. Sometimes, things need to obviously get worse before a decision is seen as the wrong one. Unfortunately, the majority of kids will suffer.
I am disappointed in the SD61 decision to keep the SPLO program out of schools. Please see my full statement here: vicpd.ca/2024/04/23/chief-ma…
I just signed the petition calling out @JustinTrudeau and @cafreeland for trying to give people with disabilities in poverty just $200/month. Join me and let's raise it to $1000. #CDB #cdnpoli act.leadnow.ca/CDB-1000/?sou…

I agree that we are failing. There needs to be the same accessibility to getting clean and sober as there is to getting the illicit drugs. We are aiding and abetting in their addictions. Bottom line😪
That's a start @GraceALore, and we desperately need to raise the rates. PWD needs to be up to at least $2,000 to live. Let's do better.
Last week we passed amendments to the Social Development & Poverty Reduction Acts.
New 10-year targets including 75% reduction to child poverty and 50% senior poverty.
We’ve also ended mean spirited financial penalties and enabled opportunities for services and support. #yyj
