THREAD This likely won't make the news, but the Feds quietly released their new homelessness strategy Reaching Home today.

This is the biggest change in federal #homelessness policy in over 30 years.

The best part is - it is already working #cdnpoli

newswire.ca/news-releases/…
2/ Reaching Home represents a paradigm shift in federal policy that will transform how communities respond to homelessness. Key changes include a focus on real-time person-specific data, coordinated access systems and a homelessness reduction outcome canada.ca/en/employment-…
3/ Reaching Home is already working. For example Kawartha Lakes Haliburton has already reduced chronic homelessness 50% and is on track for functional zero using strategies in Reaching Home caeh.ca/bright-spot-ka…
4/ Two other Built for Zero communities have achieved measurable reductions in chronic homelessness. Today we recognized Guelph Wellington as reducing chronic homelessness after they reduced 10% and held that reduction for 3 months mailchi.mp/caeh/bfz-c-upd…
5/ Reaching Home also has a running start. Through Built for Zero Canada we're working with 1/2 of Reaching Home funded communities. 11 already have quality real time data, 11 have Coordinated Access Systems and 3 are reducing chronic homelessness bfzcanada.ca
END/ My only complaint with Reaching Home is the goal - a 50% reduction in chronic homelessness is too modest IMO. We can and will do better. But today is a big day. Reaching Home will work and it is a huge big step forward toward ending homelessness in Canada #cdnpoli

THREAD The mass homelessness we're seeing in Toronto & Canada is without question a disaster. It's a disaster on the same scale - or bigger - then most of the biggest natural disasters in Canadian history. So what would happen if we treated it as such? bit.ly/2Qts7dW 1/
1st let's look at the scale of #homelessness. It happens to at least 235,000 Canadians per year, 35,000 every night and costs $7 BILLION per year. It kills an unknown number of people & reduces life expectancy for thousands. homelessmemorials.com/memorial/ 2/
The scale of #homelessness is the same our our worst natural disasaters. bit.ly/2S1ESJJ We have to respond accordingly. Municipal disaster response processes provide a model for ending #homelessness. What does that look like & how could it apply? 3/

You this is politics but man must always have honor & respect for himself as a professional!
Earlier today DAWISU posted this video below.
Have it & enjoy it! Watch closely.
Then proceed to my next post!!!
I have never insulted DAWISU or call him names but today makes it the second time he is directly involving himself in an amateur unprofessional propaganda the first was the Dollar Videos!
Let’s assume RMK said it for a second!

But He went through the stress of picking an old unrelated video, blurring it, & doctoring audio file to match an Unmatched LIP SYNC.
Listen for yourself, I will post it all!

Today is a significant day for the Niger Delta. Commencement of Handover of sites to qualified contractors in first phase of remediation of 21 lots across the 4 LGAs of Ogoniland. Handover will be followed by mobilization of equipment & personnel to sites for the actual clean-up.
Of course some will ask ‘Why now?’ Answer: If you’ve followed the Clean Up news you’ll realize that the procurement process (by which these contractors were selected) has been ongoing for a while.
Has taken time cos:
1. Remediation is major work
2. Procurement is time-consuming
[When I say remediation is major work I mean to say the ‘Clean Up’ is not ‘environmental sanitation’. It’s a complex technical endeavor

NB. Alongside Remediation work, there will be work along the lines of provision of potable water, livelihood training & health impact studies.]

THREAD: The new tax law is a raw deal for the middle class. 83% of the benefits go to the 1%, and it blows a $1.5 trillion hole in the deficit. But don't just take my word for it, here's 42 examples of how the #TaxScam hurts working families as well as a vision for #ABetterDeal:
A plurality—42%–think the tax cuts favor the wealthy most of all. Only 29.6% say they favor the working and middle class. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-tax…
