Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner has condemned the Ford government’s handling of the housing crisis, highlighting a staggering estimate of 234,000 unhoused individuals in the province. He described the situation as a moral failure and an emergency that requires immediate action. The Greens are urging the government to declare homelessness a public health emergency and to invest in affordable housing, improved mental health and addiction services, and increased social assistance rates to combat poverty.
