Plante and the City seem to be propagating a false, misleading and dangerous discourse after underresponding and exacerbating the problem since taking office.

From ' own experiences of homelessness/housing precarity there's no shortage of effort spared by those in need to access the services the state promoting it having.

There is however a shortage of effort from service gatekeepers.
When someone experiencing homelessness/being unhoused has to deal with an hour of pouring out their heart to an intake officer just to have it dismissed and be told to completely start over at a different intake, abusive staff that lie about by when your application will be processed and never get back to you, wait lists supposedly so long they won't even add you to a waitlist for the waitlist, it's easy to fall into learned helplessness, and/or no longer want to affiliate with the state.

It's not as if the Plante administration has otherwise been leading the provision of services, safety, and resisting gentrification and displacement. Quite the opposite.

Damn. ' sorry to hear a report today of the passing of Norman "Norm" Laforce a couple of days ago.

' won't pretend to have known him at all well and will defer details and any better accounting to those who may be on here who knew him much better than this any of these user(s) but from this account's little knowledge and experience, able to report at this time: Norm first got involved as a skinhead handing local Nazis their asses while still a streetkid. He remained solidly antifascist and vocally anti-racist up until recently, at the least (though likely for the entirety of his remaining life), and acted as a mentor, and protector for younger generations, liked and respected by anglo-, franco-, and allophones alike.

Memories of him will be ones of respect, and not without some aspiration.

An article from 2014 where Norm and the local branch of the IWW "stormed a mail sorting centre" in solidarity with postal workers whose livelihoods were being threatened:

Ricochet has published their anticipated piece on airbnb in "montreal":

"Unfortunately, our city and our province, which were once defined by affordability, are now falling through the [evictions and unlicensed Airbnbs] trap." -an actual Airbnb-using landlord

So long as the illegitimate, genocidal, colonial state of Canada continues its occupation of Indigenous lands it has no right to dictate who can and can't enter it.
It particularly has responsibility towards those people from countries which it has colonized.

This rally will be a better use of your time than propaganda the media will be showing that day.

Join Solidarity Across Borders in a boisterous springtime protest in Trudeau's home riding to demand that the government immediately put a stop to deportations and detentions, open a regularization programme which gives permanent residence to all undocumented migrants, without exception or discrimination, and give permanent status to all low-waged temporary workers on arrival and cancel the Safe Third Country Agreement.

The long delay in the regularization program promised in 2021, the continuation of deportations and detentions, and the closure of several borders including the Canadian-US border, are pushing people to despair and to take even greater risks. Yet more people will die trying to find a better life.

In the context of multiple global crises, migrants are being scapegoated in Quebec and Canada. But, we did not cause the housing crisis, the health system crisis, the affordability crisis, the climate crisis, nor the crises in our home countries which pushed us to migrate.... On the contrary, we are among the most hard-hit by these crises. We call on everyone on the frontlines of these crises to join hands and fight together for a more just world, where all of our lives count equally.

Canada's immigration system systematically privileges white and wealthy people and routinely denies entry or permanent status to low-wage, often racialized workers from colonized countries. As long as this system stands, more and more people will take risks to cross the borders closed to them and will join the ranks of undocumented migrants in Canada.

This month's critical mass will take place Friday March 31 - meeting at 5pm, departing at 5:30; in both cases from parc ave. monument george etienne-cartier. (Hat tip to @/kayoazul on the birdsite for the info)

If you don't like following laws, this may be a place for you as sometimes more may be broken than even strategic.
Also if you're a curmudgeonly anarchist organizer bitter that your skills aren't more sought after, this is an event that might benefit from your work.

The "Montreal" Autonomous Tenants' Union (Syndicat des locataires autonomes du Montréal (SLAM-MATU)) marched on the offices of Transport "Quebec" to protest plans for eviction of a homeless encampment under a bridge for ostensible construction plans of said bridge.

They'll be having a demonstration at this Ville-Marie expressway underpass on Monday

' glad to see housing eviction defense organizations working to defend the unhoused too ✊

So especially since ' really haven't seen it reported at all other than via CKUT's Prison Radio Show but the québec government is planning the $400 million CAD construction of a new women's prison on the island of so-called Montréal.

Obviously it's something to be resisted: for financial and environmental costs, and the inhumanity of caging people.

Let's learn from our co-conspirators in other locations and our elders through history.
