Aislinn Clancy, the Ontario Greens Deputy Leader, has voiced strong opposition to Premier Ford’s forthcoming legislation aimed at dismantling homeless encampments. She argues that effective solutions to homelessness require investments in affordable housing, preventing illegal evictions, and increasing social assistance rates, rather than merely displacing vulnerable individuals. Clancy highlights the recent Auditor General’s report, which criticized the government’s lack of planning in shutting down critical support sites, advocating instead for harm reduction and comprehensive addiction care.
