This is what i'm talking about. The thread is about social media and yet the thread has been brought over to the topic of immigrants... The victims of mind controlling have once again struck!!!
POOR FOOLISH Johnny! Social media- which you LIE-berals want to control- is full of stuff about the illegals coming here and what they are costing us! You want to discuss the "quality" of social media WITHOUT ADMITTING the lies. evasions, and deliberate
misinformation that LIE-berals are spreading! You are QUICK to condemn those who disagree with you but do not own up to your own failings!
Consider this costly mess:
Its no wonder our LIE-beral govt is broke- consider this article! With some comments of my own in brackets):
City spending nearly $60K to find new name for homeless shelters
By Sue-Ann Levy. Published: February 28, 2018. Updated: February 28, 2018 9:21 PM EST

The city’s shelter bureaucrats are spending $59,700 on a consultant to create a new name for Toronto’s emergency shelter system, says a report debated at the city’s Community Development committee Wednesday.
The item — called “Renaming Shelters” — is buried in a 58-page report that largely details how the city’s shelter, support and housing (SSHA) officials intend to expand the number of emergency hostels and improve services to an increasing number of homeless clients.
(Yeah- and none of the LIE-berals want to discuss WHY there is such an upsurge of “homeless”! Nobody wants to talk about the rent gouging, the frozen wages, the reduced hours of work, the lost jobs that cannot be replaced, the massive tax hikes so LIE-berals can BUY civil service union Hog votes! And what of the teeming tens of thousands of illegals that LIE-beral have invited here and want to keep? LIE-berals are handling Cdn immigration policy as if they were the equivalent of crazy cat ladies scooping up every stray they can find!)
SSHA spokesman Patricia Anderson confirmed the cost- which is not included in the report- along with the consultant, Strategic Retreats. Anderson said the consultants are conducting background research and public engagement to develop name options, test them- through polling and focus groups- and produce a report.
(The company doing the “work” is called Strategic Retreats? HAHAHAHA! There is real irony for you since all LIE-beral policy is in disgrace and in full retreat!)
“The options for a new name identified will reflect the positive roles that shelters play in neighbourhoods and in the lives of Toronto’s most vulnerable residents,” the report adds.
(And will the new name also reflect the greed of civil service Hogs and poverty pimps who ride the Silly Hall gravy train? Disgusted citizens want to know!)
I suspect the new name will either try to put a social/justice/equity/intersectional lens on the homeless shelters or be so confusing that residents in a particular neighbourhood will have no clue what’s coming their way.
(LIE-berals do so enjoy HIDING their true intentions till its too late!)
Perhaps that is deliberate because as I’ve reported, council — led by Mayor John Tory — opted during the 2018 budget deliberations to throw another $256 million at the homeless industry to add another 1,000 shelter beds this year and over the next two years.
As we heard Wednesday, that includes 291 beds- some 121 of them new, the rest replacement beds- at five sites this year and another 880 at 11 more (to be determined) sites.
(And we KNOW that LIE-berals and their poverty pimp allies have scorned the cheap and easy use of empty CNE buildings on the grounds they are not well sited and hard to get to - apparently meaning CNE is not near prime pan handling territory! Poverty pimps seem to think that if homeless shelters are rammed down our throats then we will be motivated somehow to do more about the homeless- too bad LIE-berals refuse to recognize it is their FAILED policies that are producing those homeless!)
But it is interesting to note that none of the members of the committee — so few of whom attended the morning meeting that it had to be postponed until 1:30 p.m. — raised the re-naming project or where the money will come from to add and operate all these beds.
(We can bet that little fiscal detail will be discussed AFTER the October municipal elections! Though Silly Hall denizens may have bigger fish to fry then - such as a possible REDUCTION in provincial funding transfers to the city! Toronto Hogs already get TEN TIMES MORE funding- per citizen- from the province than municipal govts in other cities! It is unsustainable greed!)
It took former Liberal health minister and failed mayoral candidate George Smitherman — who turned up to speak suggesting a city councillor campaign is in his future — to remind them that the report states how provincial changes have made shelter funding “unstable.”
(“Furious George “ Smirtherman is NOT the guy to turn to for smooth handling of city finances- he is an unregenerate LIE-beral!)
In fact, the report shows quite clearly that since 2013 — when the province capped the hostel per diem — city spending on shelters has grossly outpaced provincial funding. The city is now spending $100 million more annually than it did on shelters in 2009 but the province is only providing $60 million a year more in the way of subsidies.
(And Toronto has ONLY itself to blame- running out of money is an unpleasant side effect of WASTING what you had! Hogtown hypocrites are so amusing in their frustration- they want to spend the money but want somebody else to do the dirty work of beating it out of tax payer hides!)
Shelter staff also note in their report that with all the “expansion”- note: spending- on homeless shelters, the city will have to spend an extra $18 million each year in the future.
(Oh poor babies- maybe being a sanctuary city that is currently being invaded by illegals and being stony broke are connected somehow?)
“As a result, Toronto is having to rely more on the city tax base to fund the growing demand in the shelter system,” the report says.
(Imagine! The City has to spend its own money to pay for its own wasteful policies instead of picking the pockets of other levels of govt! How unfair is that? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!)
That doesn’t include a new shelter model and name that will be put in place in 2018 and beyond. That will require extra money, city staff said Wednesday.
How much is anybody’s guess.
(Unskilled Muslims with no ability in English are one category; Cdns rendered homeless because they cannot find a job or pay their bills are another category; the mentally ill homeless are yet another category- with each having special needs- that LIE-berals are IGNORING!)
Perhaps we should start calling our emergency shelter system The City Hall Money Pit.
Vacant TCHC units to go to homeless clients
There’s good news on the Toronto Community Housing Corp. (TCHC) vacancy front.
Mayor John Tory told me this week about 100 bachelor units that have been repeatedly considered hard to rent at Canada’s largest housing authority are in the process of being turned over to the city’s Streets to Homes people to house homeless clients.
(That`s nice- drug addicts and those suffering from untreated mental illnesses will be happy to have the units- until uncontrolled behaviour and lack of rent money becomes a problem for us all! Ms. Levy has already detailed the soaring amounts of UNCOLLECTED TCHC rent money that Toronto will NOT be getting!)
“The bachelor apartments are a good match-up for people who otherwise find themselves in shelters,” he said. “She’s (TCHC CEO Kathy Milsom) got a focussed campaign on to offer them to Streets to Homes.”
I’m thrilled, considering I wondered in a Jan. 22 column why that wasn’t happening given the $256 million slated to be spent on 1,000 new shelter beds.
(Why are things happening slowly? First Hogs have to find the money without making other levels of gov LOOK BAD! You cannot be a sanctuary city if you cannot provide living space for those needing sanctuary! And LIE-berals are already in enough trouble over their handling of immigration generally, their handling of illegals specifically, the Omar Khadr Krap with its $10.5 million dollar bill, the $40 million more handed out to 3 other Muslims, their welfare bills for helping returning Isis fighters and jihadist brides and children! And Hogtown LIE-berals MUST suck up to their provincial and federal counterparts in a delicate way so as noit to enrage the public! This is the face of bankruptcy- where govt runs in circles discussing name changes because their public image is the only thing left that they can actually control!)
TCHC spokesman Bruce Malloch couldn’t disclose the number of bachelor units being used by the city because it is subject to a pending agreement but said Tory was in the right range.

(Yeah- with the final numbers to be determined by such events as the major drop in Toronto house sales with resulting fiscal trouble for Toronto LIE-berals who had been counting on lots of sales tax on houses that now will not be sold!)
