Winter is Coming: A Housing Justice Podcast - Ep 20: Why destroying encampments and closing CTS sites will never work. with Rob Deutschmann

Why destroying encampments and closing CTS sites will never work

 

This week Waterloo Regional Councilor and former mayor Rob Deutschmann joins Adam to give his perspective on the use of lawsuits against encampments and the Ford government wielding legislative power to attack people in poverty instead of attacking poverty itself. Rob also talks about why he won’t join those who call for the destruction of more encampments, and why Doug Ford’s decision to shut down consumption sites make neighborhoods less safe, and healthcare weaker.
