I was doing something on FB and looked up how the Jame Bond movie themes were ranked.
I would put Goldfinger first.

One reason why so many people end up on the streets is provincial welfare programs do not pay enough for rent and other necessities.
Then we have high unemployment compared to the US, yet we are bringing in large numbers of immigrants and NPRs, 750,000, and the government cannot figure out how to get people with expired visas to leave.
Then there is the problem with off reserve indigenous people - which is likely the main problem in Winnipeg. On reserve housing is terrible too, but housing is not properly maintained so it soon becomes filled with mold and in need of other repairs.
All this spending will help, but it will not solve the homelessness problem unless the provinces do far more too.

I would not complain about programs like this if the overall policy of the government was much larger cuts to PR immigration.

Wow. Homes for a few people - 135 units.
Meanwhile, we let in 380,000 immigrants and give permanent status to 262,000 more. All these people need housing too.
And 370,000 temporary residents too.

135 new affordable homes for women in Vancouver.

Soroptimist House shows what we can accomplish when we work together to build more affordable housing.

Through Budget 2026, we’re building more homes like these across Canada, because everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home.
