Poilievre promises to let police dismantle encampments, arrest occupants | CBC News
How about promising to provide safe housing, addiction counselling, safe consumption sites, mental health support, and a universal basic income instead??
Asshole.
From the article: “Public spaces must be safe for everyone. We will take back our streets and restore order in our communities,” Poilievre said during a campaign stop in Hamilton on Wednesday.
“We will give people that are currently trapped in these awful circumstances a pathway to a better life,” he added.
Like. Make up your mind? You’re going to violently evict them and then give them ‘a pathway to a better life’???????? UGH.
The Conservative leader is pledging to amend the Criminal Code to give police the power to arrest people for discouraging the general public from using or moving through public spaces.
The first part of his announcement, which was also included in the Conservative platform released Tuesday, pledges to target people for “setting up temporary structures, including tents.”
Great!!!! More cops!!!!
…as prime minister he would clarify the law so police can arrest and charge people living in encampments while giving judges power to order people into mandatory drug treatment.
The aforementioned kidnapping. Insane shit. pp is an evil man who sees homeless people as vermin. You can’t violently remove someone from their only worldly possessions using fucking COPS and force them into rehab you stupid motherfucker!!!!!!!!! it also makes me want to scream seeing ‘arrest and charge’ because genuinely what the fuck. Sorry, you’re going to give the people you are apparently going to provide “a pathway to a better life” a fucking criminal record for the crime of being homeless?
