A recent email encouraging Canadian Armed Forces members to consider contacting Habitat for Humanity for affordable housing is shedding light on how rising home and rental prices are affecting military personnel.
The government put in place several measures to give military members more flexibility in their work, including remote work options, Anand said.“We have more work to do in this area,” she said. “We will continue to support military members and their families.
Defence Department spokeswoman Jessica Lamirande said members were not being directed to Habitat for Humanity, but rather that it was being presented as an option to those having “significant difficulty” finding housing.
I hope so I have a space I could allow a young member stay with me.
TRUDEAU: And so, my fellow Canadians: Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what your taxes and wallets can do for your country.
Stop yacking and start acting!
Then enough with the lip service and fucking do it!!!
Why only military? How about the rest of Canadians struggling to find housing.
No excuse when we can help refugees from other countries and not our own...especially those who have and continue to risk their lives.
Build more PMQ's and look after each other. Habitat for Humanity is meant for a different civilian network.
As the minister of defense, why doesn't she?
Sustainable employments supports independence/Freedom we support that. Provides an income to fund a home. Also notice all the construction in our city? That’s new housing. Sustainable employment will help fund the expense of building those. Much work to do.
I have an idea. How about the aid for Ukriane's war you redirect to build houses for our military and homeless? Let's face it the aid Canada send to Ukraine won't make any difference but will make a life changing difference for our own citizens that are ready to die for Canada.
Canada needs to revise its archaic laws and government. To adapt to being colonized by a culture that has no morality whatsoever we mist take control and decide what happens on our soil. In this context I am referring to housing speculation being forced to allow occupancy
it is a problem - transferring active serving members to pricy areas of the country - buying a home can be problematic
