Literally, does he not understand you can work full time and you would not be able to pay for a studio apartment they are 1900 plus without utilities or internet or food. So you either to live in a studio with two people or have family help.
And some seniors are being kicked out of the places because some landlords want to "renovate" the apartment and they do that so they can charge more for the apartment. Then the seniors who got booted won't be able to afford it so they are out in the cold. And some will be out in the cold this winter inexcusable what is happening in our country.
No Not even close Most are drug addicted and can’t function at even a basic job They are also criminals because they have to pay for addiction Not complicated. Sad but not complicated
@@cortruisse yes! A one bdrm unit in Ontario is $1500 minimum and government supports pay less than that. People who are humane should be disgusted and speaking up and voting for adequate support and better governance.
Two months living in a park in a tent and a camp chair. Soon to buy my wood burning camp stove for warmth this winter. Canada Pension and Ontario Works don't even come close to paying the high rent rates being asked in Ontario
Not only Canada pensioners and those on Ontario Works that can't afford the high rent rates. Even those making $25/hr and that are single, can't afford $1700-$2000/mth rent.
Have buddy forced to live in the woods due to shelter cost The problem is 40million Canadians 8billion people able to buy There r more then enough homes too market needs proper regulations
@@nil7148 My son moved out over a year ago has a decent job but he too finds the rent way too high (crappy apartment at that). Plus he drives an old car and has trouble fixing it or even to buy any food to live on. I help him where I can. Something needs to change big time. All the politicians do is talk the big talk then say people are lazy. Sickening!
@@MissX905 I totally agree, the rents are way too high and takes all your pay just for the rent at $2000/month. It has become ridiculous and my gosh our parents were lucky in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. They were able to buy a house for less than $50.000.
WOW! How about RENT CONTROL? IF you can AFFORD to live anywhere, where do you go? Some people can't work at high-end jobs......PAY is not the same as the RENT. Easy for FORD to say, he doesn't have that problem..........SAD!
Maybe he shouldn’t have removed rent control caps. Rent has skyrocketed and it’s absolutely disturbing that he’s telling people to find housing that doesn’t exist affordably. People just are giving up for a reason.
problem with rent control caps is that builders and people who invest in rental stock.... stop doing that making the issue worse and worse over time. the issue is a federal one with out of line immigration and more red tape than in any other country. 1/5 of the cost to build are taxes and fees that builders have to pass on. it's a dumpster fire in ottawa.
@@MikeyPaper And not having rent control leads to unafforadble housing. The Conservatives promised it would make housing cheaper, but there was absolutely no mathematical reasoning behind that blatant lie. Rent Control should not only exist everywhere, it should persist between tenants, and if private builders won't build rental, then the province should do it. Conservatrives will never do anything to help with housing affordability so they should never, ever, even once, be elected again. \
They don't listen. As long as they have the power and living high on the hog let the peasants fight for the meager leftovers. Shame on the politicians in our once good country of Canada. They need to wake up and smell the roses and take of their rose colored glasses for once.
@@InvisibleHotdogso isn't that the fault of tge libeats and ndp who brought all those foreign workers here in the first place? Also my sister went for a job as a social worker for a group home. She had medical experience as a heart machine tec and she worked at st Mike's for 20 yrs she went back to school for social worker. She had a couple of interviews where she was told flatly we would love to hire you buy we have to hire a minority. That isn't ford's policy is it now
There are thousands of hard working people in Canada who can't find affordable housing. Bring in rent control and affordable housing. People are paying unreal rent payments that are mortgage payments, yet are deemed unqualified for mortgages. Housing in Canada is unreasonable and unfair. The younger generation are destined not to be able to buy their own home. I feel bad for them.
My daughter and son are in there early 20s. Son cannot find fulltime work, daughter is in the trades, and does renos, can't find work in our area after being laid off. Neither can afford $2000 in rent plus groceries, car, insurance etc., My daughter has a compressed left renal vein, possibly another compression as well, and can't see one of the very few vascular surgeons even familiar with vascular compressions for 6-12 months. Sure let more people in the country, our economy is crumbling, jobs prospects are getting worse, everything is incredibly expensive, and those who need important care, can't get it, have to wait extreme lengthy times, and see rude ignorant doctors along the way, like the general surgeon who told my daughter to get down on all 4s, like a dog, to eat, if she had pain.
Rent control is not really the answer many studies in other countries show once the government starts rent control the amount of people willing to rent houses/ landlords stop purchasing housing and it lowers the inventory in the market in places like Argentina that’s what the have done and now they have a thriving housing and rent situation, I think your second option of affordable housing is a better option plus it will cause landlords to have some competition and then rent prices will drop as other landlords will fight to attract tenants
At this point I don't even blame people for giving up on life. It's literally impossible to make end meet in Canada and I get no responses for jobs when I've sent out 100s every single day for the past 6 months. My job search has been a full time job while TFWs get all the jobs and keep the wages at starvation levels
because the gov't is literally subsidizing you out of a job. new arrivals / foreign workers/students come in & employers only need to pay them half their wages & the gov't covers the rest & it's literally pricing out any locals from ever getting a job; because who is going to hire a local for 17.25/hr when they can hire someone for that half that rate? This is 100% Doug frauds doing, he has created this mess through his completely inept & quite frankly criminal leadership. The rent cap removals alone!! He has slashed everything while in office, healthcare, education, infrastructure, & social services so that folks TODAY are still on poverty rates from 1995!! literally 30 years ago, you were making 200 MORE on social services (under the NDP), than you would be today!! & In the last 30 years since the conservatives were in power, the budget for social services has only been raised 18 DOLLARS in 30 years. These are real numbers. I PROMISE YOU it's not social or disability folks dragging anyone down, it's bad faith politicians working against you at every level that are the problem.
@ameliavv1019 not at all . I make 21$ cleaning in a hospital. Since doug Ford took over , wages got frozen . We were awarded 35cents increase by the labor board. The minimum wage will be 17.20 in October . At this point, I wonder why I am exposing myself to diseases for .
@@Razorbat777 I've literally seen skilled workers passed up for unskilled tfws. They're cheaper, expect no benefits, won't complain about rights, and the gov subsidies their already crappy wage to make it even cheaper.
He says he'll help get ppl housing. Really? Where? Has he built any new affordable housing? He's responsible for ridiculous rent increases after removing rent control. Ppl have cases with the LTB that are 2+ years old and still waiting on hearings.
Ford did not allow uncontrolled immigration into Canada, Trudeau did. That is the root of the problem with shelter costs. Youth unemployment is running at 14 % because all the new immigrants got the jobs.
Where did the librats and ndp build affordable housing? They created this problem by flooding the country with illegals they let just walk into the country and by opening the borders to everyone without the proper infostructure in place with enough housing. The the librats and ndp made this problem and keep it propped up by nit voting none confidence vote federally. Ontario had librats and ndp running things before and it was a nightmare. I don't agree with everything Ford says and does like building on good farmland when there are other places to build. But he's better than ndp and librats in my opinion
Get off your “you know what” and start building houses. I build houses Doug! I took a painter job because you have not “fast tracked” the building industry. So much red tape! 14 months to get a building permit?
Rental and housing prices go up, homelessness goes up, hmmm I wonder why. But let’s keep bringing in huge immigrant numbers, Ford wants it, and let’s keep building expensive condos and subdivisions for rich people, trashing farmland and heritage buildings. Everything is wonderful….
Ford should be in JAIL for his criminal behaviour. Hopefully that RCMP investigation puts him where he belongs, behind bars & not terrorizing the good folks of Ontario anymore
He wouldn't hire homeless people for his family's company but expects others to do so instead of a cheaper foreign worker who can be abused and underpaid. Where are these unicorn employers who pay for quality instead of the cheapest possible option?
Yes well a chronically employed politician would stand behind such ignorance! He is SO disconnected from the realities Canadians are faced with! WHO DOES HE SPEAK FOR obviously it’s NOT the ppl of Ontario!
@@janearkell5185 shelter is one address or if you rent a room or sleep at buddy s until u make enough to rent a room ... stop your excuses bs iv brought homeless meal their fricken lazy
All our unskilled work is taken by international students who aren't actually here for an education, and temporary foreign workers who work in jobs that don't require temporary foreign workers. And the immigrants who come here and buy franchises only hire their own. Our youth are struggling to find work in entry level jobs. Thanks Liberal Party of Canada, for once again putting everyone but the Canadian first.
This man has no understanding of the challenges faced by persons that have no place to call home. Aside from the fact that rent control was actually eliminated under the previous 1990's Mike Harris Conservative government, no subsequent government fixed that, and Ford doubled down by eliminating the annual rent control guideline for units built and occupied after 2018 - there are a host of other issues when it comes to trying to end homelessness. When he says "if you are unhealthy, we will take care of you" he is completely ignoring the concurrent disorders and mental health challenges faced by many persons that are chronically unhoused - these are serious issues that need intensive and ongoing funding and it isn't happening.
Doug Ford has never had to work a day in his life, should in all honesty have been jailed for years, and yes somehow is the hero of supposed working class Ontario. You're literally defending a drug dealing career politician as a working class hero. Ontario is giving the southern states a run for their money on stupidity.
@scottcarey7725 perhaps he's speaking of some town north of Ontario. Went for work in Owen Sound last week, and I got to see some homes; 3.5k sqft is 1.5 mil there.
what employer will look at someone that has no address? min wage if you're lucky. so now you have to work for months to afford 1st/last. now you've finally saved enough and have to take x off work to search for an apt and landlords that won't rent to someone w no references or credit. but ya Rob tell us how simple it is
Rent for a small basement that the landlord split into 2 sections and charging me $1900 along with unaffordable groceries will make homeless! I'm working 2 jobs 1 full time and 1 part time. These people you're telling to get of their butts and get a job won't be able to afford housing or food on minimum wage
Inflation wasn't caused by Ford it was caused by all the spending by the librats and turdo just gave,away 5 billion dollars to a global initiative. Canadian are on tge streets abd he gives tge globalist 5 billion of our money and he's looking to put a home equity tax on your home residence. Yup that's our in my opinion communist dictator in action so when you say everything us high blame tge right people
@@DeltaH-9 that's a rude answer to this person. Moving takes money and he or she probably just trying to get by and they don't have the money to move or a place any more affordable to move to.
@missf4681 If they're paying $1900.00 for rent and they most likely paid first and last, they'll have enough money to move. And if they're only making minimum wage, thats probably due to life choices they made. Jobs that pay minimum wage require no education or skill. So, its their own fault. Rude answer? Lol. People need a reality check sometimes. If that's rude, I don't care.
@@DeltaH-9u an those who share this opinion seem to be terrible at math and are naive to the majority of people living in those camps, which are single parent families and construction workers/buisness owners. People who were making $25+ an hr in construction have struggled trying to get work in their field cost them Everything. Your rudeness proves you've Never done intense labour. Owners of any seasonal buisness Have to make the majority of money in "good weather", and enough to tie them over bad weather And Winter. Even school bus drivers are homeless, think about that the nxt time ur child is picked up
It isn't the job of government to provide food, housing, etc for the able-bodied citizens of the country. If you beleive that isn't the case, go live in a communist country somewhere else...
Building affordable housing will do nothing for those who live in encampments who are drug addicts. They will spend every dime they have on drugs. And for those who are homeless who are NOT drug addicts where are their family members? Why aren't their family members helping them?
I also don’t have my extended family around to support me in case I start to struggle financially. I work two jobs to pay my bills and have some money saved for a rainy day.
Silver spoon Doug the Trust Fund boy...now living off the taxpayers of Ontario. That speech takes guts. Doug,. how about you working 50 weeks of the year instead of 30 like you do with all the recesses and holidays you take.. How about that?
They take his words out of context deliberately to rile up the ill-informed; but by the comment section here, you can see it works. We know the housing crisis is due to failed federal policies and that said federal government is now using millions of our tax dollars to buy hotels for people that should not be here but would not do that for regular Canadians who are homeless. There should be no encampments; if our federal government and the media had not pushed ideology, we would not have shelters filled to overcapacity with people; but instead, we have them attacking anyone who dares speak to what some of the problem is. He didn't say ALL homeless should go get a job; but that part is simply brushed over. Nor does the media want to admit where the root cause of most of our problems come from.
@@anthonymorris5084I wouldnt even just chalk it up to ideology, “people” in 3 piece suits usually always love what becomes the root of all evil, while chalking up your situation to that of something they’re guilty of themselves…
Allot of them have jobs…. Carpenters, nurses, minimum wage employees. A lot of them have jobs, but cannot afford rent still. This is a dystopian nightmare.
@@liamglenn6479 If they can't afford rent, then they need to find somewhere that is cheaper, move in with a friend or relative temporarily, or find a different job.
It's crazy that you & I know more about this issue than the premier of the province. His constituency loves it when he blames the poor & sells the province off to the rich.
@tiwowo1234 to many excuses these days the bottom line is if you wanna work you'll work but the two generations want 6 figures right out of collage because in their minds "they deserve it" or "they're owed" the last two generations are weak not all are weak but most are

All businesses and companies in Canada need to treat employees better, and pay more. No one wants to work 45+ hours a week, and after pay you can barely afford food. So they bring in foreign workers, who work for half the amount and no benefits, who then take the jobs from the Canadians who want better. Make it make sense. 🤷♂️
@DeltaH-9 That's how economies work... that's why our economy is falling apart. Back when the economy boomed through 1940-1990, people made alot more money than they do now, because money went further because it was worth more technically. As time has gone by businesses, employers haven't adjusted what they are paying employees. But inflation continues and the amount employees make has become less and less in the face of rising costs. This is how inflation works, man... this is how the economy becomes this bad. The employees aren't getting a big enough slice of the pie to return the money back into the system in a large enough amount to profit all these companies. So companies are raising prices because they are selling less product, because young people don't make enough money to return large amounts back into the system... feeding the companies selling the products.
@kyloren3693 Then find a place that pays well for the skills you bring to the table. No one working in fast food or retail deserves the same amount of money as someone who has an education or technical skills
@DeltaH-9 That's a ridiculous ask for a generation put into massive debts through school debts and costs of living being insane. Most young people these days are near 15, 000 to 20 000 in debt by the end of going to school. And with that much debt, you think anyone who doesn't get a fair wage can ever escape that sort of debt? So basically, you're saying generations of people can't have a decent living wage because they didn't find an amazing job after school? And those people deserve to never make it out of debts? Because there aren't enough decent paying jobs out there? Yeah, think about it... and you might understand why it seems like American and Canadians don't want to work. Because they can't make enough in Canada at an average job to make a decent living. So instead of treating Canadians better... the government goes, "OH, since you feel that way well, just forget all our young Canadians that are in debt and need jobs... and we'll gove them to foreigners to do for half the wages and no benefits."
@DeltaH-9 Yeah, adjusting all wages to the economy as inflation happens and the dollar falls and rises, is a nuts concept right? And giving people reasonable living wages is just insane right? Lol funny stance man. That's exactly the attitude that's gotten us here. Meanwhile minimum wage workers get replaced with robots/self serve operations, they get terrible wages, they struggle to afford food, and you wonder why entire generations are saying... naw were good... we'd rather watch the economy grind itself down while we wait for better. 🤷♂️ Your attitude definitely isn't going to encourage young students in massive debts to flock to job sites, for their minimum wage, which you admit is subhuman.... 🤷♂️
We now have what is called "working homeless" that means people who have full time jobs but still cant afford housing. They are living in tents even with full time work!
Remember: Doug Ford has a high school diploma. He dropped out of college. He got a job at his father's company (hm, how did he swing that?). He then took over his father's company (Good for him! That's some real bootstrap pulling if I've ever seen it!). His father left him a majority share of the business when he passed. I could add more. The moral of the story is: Doug Ford did technically work to get where he is today, but his path to success was almost paved for him, and he is now using his experience (which is relevant to a very, very, VERY small minority) to give his province out-of-touch, abhorrently misguided advice. The future is looking bright everyone!
HI Doug Ford can you explain to the good people of Ontario how you have the disabled twice below poverty and in a 75 percent claw back once they get to the poverty line You know they get 1300 a month for rent and food so 850 for shelter and 47 dollars a week for groceries is not working . Rent are in the thousands and food is decade high prices so please explain how far 1300 goes you were asked to do the disability diet from other mp s to live on 47 a week for food and you said it was a publicity stunt . Well sir iam not a publicity stunt. Iam not asking for thousands of dollars but iam asking to be treated with respect and at the poverty level not 1000 below it every month while CERB was paying able bodied people 2000 as a min to get by on. disability dose not go away at a certain dollar amount just so you know
How can a person get a job when they dont have a safe place to sleep or a toilet or warmth? Doug try stopping the carbs!! This has got to be the stupidest thing grimace has ever said!!
Its well known that if your living in a tent don't have a permanent address your wasting your time applying for a job, Gee one would think the Premiere would know at least that?
No, it is not a waste of time applying for a job because this is how I was able to get a permanent full-time job lately. Stop drinking and smoking, take the money you use to drink and smoke and pay for a mail box.
I did not have a permanent address, I rented a mail box at the post-office that I payed with my credit card, applied anyway for a full-time job and I got the job that pays with benefits etc. If you live in a tent, you should not have any problem to get housing because you are in and urgent situation.
His comments are bad. Does he not notice how many working family are being kick out of their apartment building because greedy landlord want to hick the price up 2700 to 4000 how can a low income family afford the rent if they already have several jobs n they r allowing this. Canadians already have lot of homeless who doesnt want to work many have lost their jobs. Talk about what's important housing n jobs. How many canadians have been layoff since covid n continue do so.... they have allowed to many immigrants to work for low wages but canadians living for years that have paid their taxes have struggle now. Who can live off 17 dollars an hours no one can pay rent. Rent control needs to be in place are these politicians not really seeing this ......where are the solutions how many family need to be in credit debts. It's crazy that they are fincianing others things but the important things are not bring resolved. EI rejecting support who paid for years. So how can people leave ....now not enough shelters are available for homeless because they got no place to sleep. So the winter will come soon😮😮😮😮😮🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 The level of crime has gone up. Look all the area In eglinton where people have leave in peace are being kick out because these cooperation r buying the lands n are being greedy so where r these people n how are they helping the low income n avoiding people to be homeless. 😮😮😮😮😮😮 Pray 🙏 some one will stand up.....promises n nothing has been resolved. Action is need. Stop kicking people n affecting their mental stability 😮😮😮😮😮
So, he's telling us: He's ignorant since we have working homeless and you can't get a job without a house/shower/adrs. He doesn't care about those down on their luck. He's a spoiled whiny baby who's been handed everything. Please Ontario, vote him out.
Ngl if you aren't in Ontario why are you so concerned about which party that wins? Your post is entirely sound but you're spending too much time on something that doesn't affect you imo.
If they were healthy, do you think they'd be homeless?! Mentally and physically healthy people do not just accept living in tents. As well, when a person is living in a tent, how do you expect them to shower for a job? And where are they going to keep and iron work clothes?! And let's not mention the lack of work skills that some of these people have... OMG; soooo out of touch with the people that are homeless (or even just poor).
everyone is already dead & maybe if you closed the canadian border since 05 at the very latest we wouldn't have any of these problems we have now . - over population - housing crisis - Traffic due to population/Never ending construction
I don't work for Kanada since Covid took my job,worked since I came out of High school.I am 59 and now I sit back and watch Kanada invite foreign workers taking jobs and places to live.
He's absolutely heinous. Typical conservative, zero empathy for people who may not be able to work. People who are unhoused, or rather a large amount of them, are seniors, are people with disabilities, are people with mental health issues, are people who have been chronically homeless, it's not easy to pick oneself up after being homeless, no place to shower and get cleaned up for job interviews or even cleaned up for work, no clean clothes, extremely tired and mentally drained. Conservatives just continue to fail to understand the basic condition of humanity and continue to fail to show empathy for the simplest of human well being.
Ford is not Conservative. I’m Conservative, have always voted Conservative and I’ve always seen the non Conservative side of him. This is going to flash back in his face. Ignorant words.
Spoken like a true Conservative instead of the axe the tax fellow. Maybe this premiere should take his own advice, or double check his expense account.
We all need to work... Three minimum wage paying jobs where the boss works the piss out of you, you're so tired at night you forgo eating just to sleep so at the end of a month there's just enough to pay the freakin rent, Doug. How about legislating a better wage. Instead of $17.20 slated for Oct 1. People need a living $25.00 wage just to keep from going under. Before the pandemic people were treading water. It's 2024 and we're now literally drowning in bills: rent, hydro, food, phone, insurance, fuel. Nevermind education for kids, a vacation or newish car. Ain't happening dude. Get some reality big guy. You obviously don't know what it's really like out here... cheers.
The fact that you used the term "unhoused" tells people all they need to know about your bias and ideology. We have a housing crisis due to said ideology; maybe you should acknowledge that. But you go on the attack them moment someone points out the problems. Our shelters are full of people that are claiming asylum, and our federal government now wants to spending MILLIONS buying hotels for these same people but will not lift a finger to help regular Canadians. Why don't you point that out? Oh, I forgot, it does not fit the narrative you are pushing. The homeless problem is a result of failed left-wing ideology, and that needs to be addressed.
I'm sure the premier, who's had a silver spoon in his mouth his entire life, knows all there is to know about the difficulties of being at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder. For a start, he might consider how his own brother would have ended up without his privileged start in life. We all know people in our lives that would be in big, big trouble if they didn't have huge support from their families and friends behind them. Anyone with a learning disability, a physical disability, a drinking problem... so many are a slight change in circumstance away from being absolutely fucked and far away in life. The more we get squeezed, the more of us drop off the map and become homeless. It's not rocket science. Why anyone would think Ford would be on top of this issue is beyond me. He'll do nothing but use it for sound bytes like the above, and then complain later when nothing changes.
Having money obviously doesn’t equate to being Intelligent. As you can plainly see with Ford. Why he’s in the position he’s in baffles me. What’s up with Ontarion’s voting for this narc. Yahoo
You know what's interesting is that there are homeless people that do have jobs... Yes... they just can't find a place to live with the existing barriers... No affordable housing availability, ridiculous prices for rent, (even in very tiny accommodations and rough neighborhoods,) very few people would choose to live in tents in Canada. Winter, it's a thing and it's very cold out there. Also, no one in their right mind is going to have their children living in tents if there were options. The tunnel vision of entitlement. 🤦
We need to do like Europe... You either are in a treatment program, in a shelter or in jail. No sleeping in parks because "they have rights" under Section 7.
@@buzz4208 Yeah and how much is it costing in police, bylaw, EMS, Fire, Public Health etc. all having to attend the sites constantly because of the problems these folks are creating? The city I'm in spent $120M in 1 year alone. That far outweighs the $11/month
Premier Ford, you need to take your own advice. Spend less time at your cottage, and more time in parliament. You are not there 80% of the time, and just extended the summer closure by a month! YOU need to work more.
Hey Doug, how about naming one job someone can get without a house or home address, phone to be reached on, clean clothes, proper nourishment and mental health issues?
I would love to see these mystery employers who do not require a home address on the application, will overlook a person's state of appearance at the interview due to lack of water and facilities for hygiene, who will overlook days off during the first few weeks of employment before they receive pay for the person whose tent and belongings are stolen while at this miraculous 'new job' forcing them to have to seek emergency shelter in the interim or sleep rough on the street. Even if they get an interview with no address on the application (unlikely), past the interview where they are disadvantaged by hygiene/ professional appearance etc. , and by some miracle get hired? We have folk working several jobs who still cannot pay rent and even if they do? Have to get their food from Food banks. THIS SITUATION WAS CREATED BY A FORD GOVERNMENT. One that wants to give you beer in corner stores while people - even working people- struggle to pay rent and get food. He has not put rent control back, no purpose built affordable rentals. He is not just ignorant, he is evil. Out of touch failure of a human being and Premier. Shameful.
@@gigischuster3078 And this is why I can never go home again. Boston’s just as terrible if not worse. Actually, one year, they out did New York in rent prices.
Mr Ford is not in touch with the reality of renting. It's quite possible to work full time and not earn nearly enough to rent. Infact, you might just make enough to make payments on the small car you need to get to work and food.
He's going to take care of the unhealthy?Then why are they living 50% + under the poverty line? Living in slums, relying on food banks & rescued food that they wait 2-4 hours in line outdoors regardless of weather conditions to acquire. Electricity that they can't afford, essentials of living are out of reach, soap, shoes, clothing, hair maintenance all unaffordable. Vitamins & essential supplements not possible. Being out in public & socializing is full of anxiety and shame because of their lack of financial support. This applies to Disabled & Seniors as well. All of this perpetuates illness and exacerbates the disability because the person CANNOT work. Disability is not a choice, in Ontario its a sentence to life of misery and shame.
My rent is 2789 in a townhouse in a low income neighborhood tell me again how it’s laziness no you’re right it’s laziness it’s laziness of are governments that’s the lazy ones
Has he found many homeless that are healthy? If you are homeless there is stress and depression at the very least! Him making such statements helps drive it, because he encourage resentment, hate or bias to the public. Lowering the self esteem of someone homeless, struggling, is going to cause more struggle to overcome. There is also other possible factors when facing homelessness ( its not just about lazy or physical ability) such as addiction, mental health, lack of AFFORDABLE housing set to an individual making minimum wage (because thats what is meant affordable) Also, getting and maintaining a job does have requirements as well that clearly he hasn't considered. What an immature perspective he has as the leader of Ontario. I guess him thinking booze and no rent increase limits were a good idea tied into this perspective he has. Wonder if he heard that alot growing up " your lazy, get a job"
I think an investigation into why are they homeless are in order ? Unless he knows something we don't, then it's important to find out the why and how people are homeless in the greatest country in the world. Rent for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment shouldn’t be more than $1000. Most people don't even make that on ODSP or welfare. Getting a job, yes, would help, but most don't pay over $30 a hr, and yes, that's basically what you need to live in ontario now. It's not all Ford's fault. it's the federal government with high payroll tax and carbon tax. The government needs to do better.

Most people living in tents work for a living but can't afford a damn apartment cuz you won't do nothing Doug Ford
Literally, does he not understand you can work full time and you would not be able to pay for a studio apartment they are 1900 plus without utilities or internet or food. So you either to live in a studio with two people or have family help.
And some seniors are being kicked out of the places because some landlords want to "renovate" the apartment and they do that so they can charge more for the apartment. Then the seniors who got booted won't be able to afford it so they are out in the cold. And some will be out in the cold this winter inexcusable what is happening in our country.
What a terrible government doing that to seniors or letting that happen to them
@@MissX905thats the landlords right. Seniors should have purchased their own home while the getting was good.

Most are drug addicted and can’t function at even a basic job

@@MissX905 I totally agree, the rents are way too high and takes all your pay just for the rent at $2000/month. It has become ridiculous and my gosh our parents were lucky in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. They were able to buy a house for less than $50.000.
Guess you should have put money away and not bought into socialist pipe dreams.
WOW! How about RENT CONTROL? IF you can AFFORD to live anywhere, where do you go? Some people can't work at high-end jobs......PAY is not the same as the RENT. Easy for FORD to say, he doesn't have that problem..........SAD!
Maybe he shouldn’t have removed rent control caps. Rent has skyrocketed and it’s absolutely disturbing that he’s telling people to find housing that doesn’t exist affordably. People just are giving up for a reason.
problem with rent control caps is that builders and people who invest in rental stock.... stop doing that making the issue worse and worse over time. the issue is a federal one with out of line immigration and more red tape than in any other country. 1/5 of the cost to build are taxes and fees that builders have to pass on. it's a dumpster fire in ottawa.
Then why do I have a house?
Rent control leads to rental shortages.
@@MikeyPaper And not having rent control leads to unafforadble housing. The Conservatives promised it would make housing cheaper, but there was absolutely no mathematical reasoning behind that blatant lie.
Rent Control should not only exist everywhere, it should persist between tenants, and if private builders won't build rental, then the province should do it. Conservatrives will never do anything to help with housing affordability so they should never, ever, even once, be elected again.

There are thousands of hard working people in Canada who can't find affordable housing. Bring in rent control and affordable housing. People are paying unreal rent payments that are mortgage payments, yet are deemed unqualified for mortgages. Housing in Canada is unreasonable and unfair. The younger generation are destined not to be able to buy their own home. I feel bad for them.
If you can’t afford to live here,,,, leave , there’s other places to live
My daughter and son are in there early 20s. Son cannot find fulltime work, daughter is in the trades, and does renos, can't find work in our area after being laid off. Neither can afford $2000 in rent plus groceries, car, insurance etc., My daughter has a compressed left renal vein, possibly another compression as well, and can't see one of the very few vascular surgeons even familiar with vascular compressions for 6-12 months. Sure let more people in the country, our economy is crumbling, jobs prospects are getting worse, everything is incredibly expensive, and those who need important care, can't get it, have to wait extreme lengthy times, and see rude ignorant doctors along the way, like the general surgeon who told my daughter to get down on all 4s, like a dog, to eat, if she had pain.
Rent control is not really the answer many studies in other countries show once the government starts rent control the amount of people willing to rent houses/ landlords stop purchasing housing and it lowers the inventory in the market in places like Argentina that’s what the have done and now they have a thriving housing and rent situation, I think your second option of affordable housing is a better option plus it will cause landlords to have some competition and then rent prices will drop as other landlords will fight to attract tenants
But if you work, you have right to take morgage.

Ford did not allow uncontrolled immigration into Canada, Trudeau did. That is the root of the problem with shelter costs. Youth unemployment is running at 14 % because all the new immigrants got the jobs.
Where did the librats and ndp build affordable housing?

This man has no understanding of the challenges faced by persons that have no place to call home. Aside from the fact that rent control was actually eliminated under the previous 1990's Mike Harris Conservative government, no subsequent government fixed that, and Ford doubled down by eliminating the annual rent control guideline for units built and occupied after 2018 - there are a host of other issues when it comes to trying to end homelessness. When he says "if you are unhealthy, we will take care of you" he is completely ignoring the concurrent disorders and mental health challenges faced by many persons that are chronically unhoused - these are serious issues that need intensive and ongoing funding and it isn't happening.

All businesses and companies in Canada need to treat employees better, and pay more. No one wants to work 45+ hours a week, and after pay you can barely afford food.
So they bring in foreign workers, who work for half the amount and no benefits, who then take the jobs from the Canadians who want better.
Make it make sense. 🤷♂️
Making a suggestion that employers should just pay more is asinine.
@DeltaH-9 That's how economies work... that's why our economy is falling apart. Back when the economy boomed through 1940-1990, people made alot more money than they do now, because money went further because it was worth more technically.
As time has gone by businesses, employers haven't adjusted what they are paying employees. But inflation continues and the amount employees make has become less and less in the face of rising costs.
This is how inflation works, man... this is how the economy becomes this bad. The employees aren't getting a big enough slice of the pie to return the money back into the system in a large enough amount to profit all these companies. So companies are raising prices because they are selling less product, because young people don't make enough money to return large amounts back into the system... feeding the companies selling the products.
@kyloren3693 Then find a place that pays well for the skills you bring to the table. No one working in fast food or retail deserves the same amount of money as someone who has an education or technical skills
@DeltaH-9 That's a ridiculous ask for a generation put into massive debts through school debts and costs of living being insane. Most young people these days are near 15, 000 to 20 000 in debt by the end of going to school. And with that much debt, you think anyone who doesn't get a fair wage can ever escape that sort of debt?
So basically, you're saying generations of people can't have a decent living wage because they didn't find an amazing job after school? And those people deserve to never make it out of debts? Because there aren't enough decent paying jobs out there?
Yeah, think about it... and you might understand why it seems like American and Canadians don't want to work. Because they can't make enough in Canada at an average job to make a decent living.
So instead of treating Canadians better... the government goes, "OH, since you feel that way well, just forget all our young Canadians that are in debt and need jobs... and we'll gove them to foreigners to do for half the wages and no benefits."
@DeltaH-9 Yeah, adjusting all wages to the economy as inflation happens and the dollar falls and rises, is a nuts concept right? And giving people reasonable living wages is just insane right? Lol funny stance man.
That's exactly the attitude that's gotten us here.
Meanwhile minimum wage workers get replaced with robots/self serve operations, they get terrible wages, they struggle to afford food, and you wonder why entire generations are saying... naw were good... we'd rather watch the economy grind itself down while we wait for better. 🤷♂️
Your attitude definitely isn't going to encourage young students in massive debts to flock to job sites, for their minimum wage, which you admit is subhuman.... 🤷♂️
We need more jobs I cannot compete with the hundreds of newcomers at each interview. :/
We now have what is called "working homeless" that means people who have full time jobs but still cant afford housing. They are living in tents even with full time work!
Ford doesnt know what he's talking about. Go to any tent camp in the city and they are filled with people who have 2 or 3 jobs. Rent is just too high.
Especially those who are single, paying $1700/mth is too much, I can imagine if the rent is $2000/mth.
Remember: Doug Ford has a high school diploma. He dropped out of college. He got a job at his father's company (hm, how did he swing that?). He then took over his father's company (Good for him! That's some real bootstrap pulling if I've ever seen it!). His father left him a majority share of the business when he passed. I could add more.
The moral of the story is: Doug Ford did technically work to get where he is today, but his path to success was almost paved for him, and he is now using his experience (which is relevant to a very, very, VERY small minority) to give his province out-of-touch, abhorrently misguided advice. The future is looking bright everyone!

He's a spoiled whiny baby who's been handed everything.
Please Ontario, vote him out.
Ngl if you aren't in Ontario why are you so concerned about which party that wins?
Your post is entirely sound but you're spending too much time on something that doesn't affect you imo.
Where are thenworking homeless? Need a shower? Go to the YMCA. You don't need an address to get a job.
💯
What a callous, insensitive remark. We need to vote him out
If they were healthy, do you think they'd be homeless?! Mentally and physically healthy people do not just accept living in tents. As well, when a person is living in a tent, how do you expect them to shower for a job? And where are they going to keep and iron work clothes?! And let's not mention the lack of work skills that some of these people have... OMG; soooo out of touch with the people that are homeless (or even just poor).
everyone is already dead & maybe if you closed the canadian border since 05 at the very latest we wouldn't have any of these problems we have now .
- over population
- housing crisis
- Traffic due to population/Never ending construction
Most people in tents are just drinking and doing drugs , they don’t want to pay rent, it cuts into their fun time.
The sad truth.
I don't work for Kanada since Covid took my job,worked since I came out of High school.I am 59 and now I sit back and watch Kanada invite foreign workers taking jobs and places to live.
its Canada not ......Kanada...........get it ....? .......we have a prime minister not a president.........
Sounds like Ford forgot that you need a fixed address to apply for a job
He's absolutely heinous. Typical conservative, zero empathy for people who may not be able to work. People who are unhoused, or rather a large amount of them, are seniors, are people with disabilities, are people with mental health issues, are people who have been chronically homeless, it's not easy to pick oneself up after being homeless, no place to shower and get cleaned up for job interviews or even cleaned up for work, no clean clothes, extremely tired and mentally drained. Conservatives just continue to fail to understand the basic condition of humanity and continue to fail to show empathy for the simplest of human well being.
Ford is not Conservative. I’m Conservative, have always voted Conservative and I’ve always seen the non Conservative side of him. This is going to flash back in his face. Ignorant words.
If Doug is conservative...what is Dildeau and Dickmeat. The true conservative is Pierre Poilievre.
I am a Conservative who knows Doug Ford needs to go.
Same
Spoken like a true Conservative instead of the axe the tax fellow. Maybe this premiere should take his own advice, or double check his expense account.
How about you make houses affordable? It’s double the price of the USA!
No "healthy" person would choose to be homeless. Yikes.
Yep, some do.
We all need to work... Three minimum wage paying jobs where the boss works the piss out of you, you're so tired at night you forgo eating just to sleep so at the end of a month there's just enough to pay the freakin rent, Doug. How about legislating a better wage. Instead of $17.20 slated for Oct 1. People need a living $25.00 wage just to keep from going under. Before the pandemic people were treading water. It's 2024 and we're now literally drowning in bills: rent, hydro, food, phone, insurance, fuel. Nevermind education for kids, a vacation or newish car. Ain't happening dude. Get some reality big guy. You obviously don't know what it's really like out here... cheers.
Easy for him to say. We cant all be like him and be given a job by his dad and make side income with all his corruption
the government needs to address the homeless issue they created
The fact that you used the term "unhoused" tells people all they need to know about your bias and ideology. We have a housing crisis due to said ideology; maybe you should acknowledge that. But you go on the attack them moment someone points out the problems. Our shelters are full of people that are claiming asylum, and our federal government now wants to spending MILLIONS buying hotels for these same people but will not lift a finger to help regular Canadians. Why don't you point that out? Oh, I forgot, it does not fit the narrative you are pushing. The homeless problem is a result of failed left-wing ideology, and that needs to be addressed.
💯 👏
Thats ignorant for a Premier to say that. There might not be so many homeless people in Canada if there wasn't so many immigrants
Companies won’t hire them. That’s the problem.
Yes, Canadians aren't working hard enough. Riiiiiiiiight.
I'm sure the premier, who's had a silver spoon in his mouth his entire life, knows all there is to know about the difficulties of being at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder. For a start, he might consider how his own brother would have ended up without his privileged start in life. We all know people in our lives that would be in big, big trouble if they didn't have huge support from their families and friends behind them. Anyone with a learning disability, a physical disability, a drinking problem... so many are a slight change in circumstance away from being absolutely fucked and far away in life.
The more we get squeezed, the more of us drop off the map and become homeless. It's not rocket science. Why anyone would think Ford would be on top of this issue is beyond me. He'll do nothing but use it for sound bytes like the above, and then complain later when nothing changes.
Having money obviously doesn’t equate to being Intelligent. As you can plainly see with Ford.
Why he’s in the position he’s in baffles me.
What’s up with Ontarion’s voting for this narc. Yahoo
💯
But you can buy a beer at the gas station....
This is almost laughable
I understand that people should work but why work when you can barely afford anything. F- paying for immigration and F- socialism.
Okay so....... Resume for avg homeless.
2022-2024: lived in tent.
Duties included, starting fires, shitting outdoors, running from security, shop lifting
2023-2024: Toronto South Detention center.
Duties included: wearing shackles and handcuffs, spending multiple hours in transport, sitting silently in court, saying yes sir, yes ma'am.
You know what's interesting is that there are homeless people that do have jobs...
Yes... they just can't find a place to live with the existing barriers... No affordable housing availability, ridiculous prices for rent, (even in very tiny accommodations and rough neighborhoods,) very few people would choose to live in tents in Canada. Winter, it's a thing and it's very cold out there.
Also, no one in their right mind is going to have their children living in tents if there were options.
The tunnel vision of entitlement. 🤦
We need to do like Europe... You either are in a treatment program, in a shelter or in jail. No sleeping in parks because "they have rights" under Section 7.
Oh, for a second there I thought you were talking about Doug Ford.😐
11,000$ pr month for each person you've going to jail!!!! I know that you want pay more taxes!!!!!😮😮😮
@@buzz4208 Yeah and how much is it costing in police, bylaw, EMS, Fire, Public Health etc. all having to attend the sites constantly because of the problems these folks are creating? The city I'm in spent $120M in 1 year alone. That far outweighs the $11/month
Premier Ford, you need to take your own advice. Spend less time at your cottage, and more time in parliament. You are not there 80% of the time, and just extended the summer closure by a month! YOU need to work more.
Talking like a real man raised like he was very Privileged
Hey Doug, how about naming one job someone can get without a house or home address, phone to be reached on, clean clothes, proper nourishment and mental health issues?
? Yah...that 850'000 dollar 456 sq ft apartment is right around the corner...
I would love to see these mystery employers who do not require a home address on the application, will overlook a person's state of appearance at the interview due to lack of water and facilities for hygiene, who will overlook days off during the first few weeks of employment before they receive pay for the person whose tent and belongings are stolen while at this miraculous 'new job' forcing them to have to seek emergency shelter in the interim or sleep rough on the street. Even if they get an interview with no address on the application (unlikely), past the interview where they are disadvantaged by hygiene/ professional appearance etc. , and by some miracle get hired? We have folk working several jobs who still cannot pay rent and even if they do? Have to get their food from Food banks. THIS SITUATION WAS CREATED BY A FORD GOVERNMENT. One that wants to give you beer in corner stores while people - even working people- struggle to pay rent and get food. He has not put rent control back, no purpose built affordable rentals. He is not just ignorant, he is evil. Out of touch failure of a human being and Premier. Shameful.
Is he talking about Timbuktu, Michigan?
Ask Doug how far his high-school diploma would get him nowadays.
How much is rent where you live, guy?
Rent $1500 a month in U.S
5500 a month for mortgage with property taxes and utilities after bank raise my interest to 8%

@@gigischuster3078 And this is why I can never go home again. Boston’s just as terrible if not worse. Actually, one year, they out did New York in rent prices.
Mr Ford is not in touch with the reality of renting. It's quite possible to work full time and not earn nearly enough to rent. Infact, you might just make enough to make payments on the small car you need to get to work and food.
He's going to take care of the unhealthy?Then why are they living 50% + under the poverty line? Living in slums, relying on food banks & rescued food that they wait 2-4 hours in line outdoors regardless of weather conditions to acquire. Electricity that they can't afford, essentials of living are out of reach, soap, shoes, clothing, hair maintenance all unaffordable. Vitamins & essential supplements not possible. Being out in public & socializing is full of anxiety and shame because of their lack of financial support. This applies to Disabled & Seniors as well. All of this perpetuates illness and exacerbates the disability because the person CANNOT work. Disability is not a choice, in Ontario its a sentence to life of misery and shame.

I agree but first bring the real estate houses down by half, also decrease the rent by half, also stop immigrants who driving wages down..
My rent is 2789 in a townhouse in a low income neighborhood tell me again how it’s laziness no you’re right it’s laziness it’s laziness of are governments that’s the lazy ones

Has he found many homeless that are healthy? If you are homeless there is stress and depression at the very least! Him making such statements helps drive it, because he encourage resentment, hate or bias to the public. Lowering the self esteem of someone homeless, struggling, is going to cause more struggle to overcome. There is also other possible factors when facing homelessness ( its not just about lazy or physical ability) such as addiction, mental health, lack of AFFORDABLE housing set to an individual making minimum wage (because thats what is meant affordable) Also, getting and maintaining a job does have requirements as well that clearly he hasn't considered. What an immature perspective he has as the leader of Ontario. I guess him thinking booze and no rent increase limits were a good idea tied into this perspective he has. Wonder if he heard that alot growing up " your lazy, get a job"
Says the politician
💯
I think an investigation into why are they homeless are in order ? Unless he knows something we don't, then it's important to find out the why and how people are homeless in the greatest country in the world. Rent for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment shouldn’t be more than $1000. Most people don't even make that on ODSP or welfare. Getting a job, yes, would help, but most don't pay over $30 a hr, and yes, that's basically what you need to live in ontario now. It's not all Ford's fault. it's the federal government with high payroll tax and carbon tax. The government needs to do better.
Like most wealthy people he lives in a bubble. Dude didn't even earn his wealth, it was inherited.
Totally and completely tone deaf. This guy has lost the plot. Get him out ASAP. Even before next election time.
Mmm sounds like “ let them eat cake “ Revolution anyone?
exactly
Doug Ford sure does not understand that there are some people who because of health or mental issue are unable to work and I am not talking about myself because I am working.
FORD NEED TO WAKE UP, AND SEE REALITY
