…immigration numbers of low skilled labor, who are net takers…

Neither of these are true.

so where is that money going to come from

From the article:

…the $56.7 billion in cuts across the federal government is balanced by an almost identical $58.8 billion boost in the Department of National Defence’s budget… Carney has pledged to spend a staggering $470 billion over the next decade under the Defence Industrial Strategy.

No, we’re not an NDP propaganda site.

We did do an interview series on leadership candidates though, but we’ve never endorsed any of them or the party.

The Leveller leans left, meaning it challenges power and privilege and sides with people over private property.

Late reply, but this topic is on bail.

Hi, this is provincial. The Ontario Progressive Conservative Party is in power here.

The Palestinian community, which the article is about, doesn’t enact embargoes. The community and Palestinian solidarity activists call on governments to enact an arms embargo. We just reported on how the municipal government would not allow a flag raising, but have also reported on a local university’s investment into Israeli weapons companies.

A second debate was uploaded by Rogers TV just after we published today. This one includes more of the Ottawa-Centre candidates, but the Progressive Conservative one didn’t show up again.

A second debate has appeared! Shortly after publishing the article on the Glebe Community Association’s debate, Rogers TV uploaded one. This one includes additional candidates, but the Progressive Conservative one didn’t show up again.

Watching the candidate’s debate, I keep thinking about how they stuck them all elbow-to-elbow at the tiniest table. It would have been even more squished if the Progressive Conservative candidate actually showed up.

Oh no! Thanks for pointing that out. It now links to the full article we published here: https://leveller.ca/2024/10/addressing-menopause-care-gaps-for-women-in-canadas-healthcare-system/

Hi, Leveller staff here!

You’re right the article didn’t go into the plans. Some details have been omitted since the Bank Block discussion has been going on for a few months, and this article focused on the rallies that took place last week. Plans were proposed as far back as December 28, 2022, and there’s been a few articles by other newsmedia, including The Fulcrum, CTV, OBJ, CBC, and CHUO.

The editorial we published at the same time as this article mentions “Smart Living plans to demolish the entire block and build a 9-storey building with around 263 units which will not be affordable.” During the rally, a few tenants and supporters spoke that not only will these units not be affordable, they’ll be significantly smaller. One of the site plans submitted to the city does look like 240 units will be single bedrooms or bachelors.

The tenants received a relocation and assistance plan, which includes 1. being given listings of rental units in the neighbourhood, 2. an allowance for moving, and 3. assistance with referrals, translations and tenants’ needs as requested. What tenants spoke about in the media and at rallies before, is that there are no affordable rental units to move to as this is a pattern among developers and landlords in Ottawa and throughout Ontario.
