This restaurant owner says he’s tired of waiting — he’s spending millions to help Toronto’s homeless

[shockedcanadian]

A rare selfless Canadian.

The economy here is going to collapse. From the RCMP on down, anyone with an I.Q of 75 knows who to blame..

100,000 homeless in Ontario alone!

For the past seven years, whenever David Brown stepped outside of his red-brick burger joint in the Upper Beaches, his eyes would lift just above the black-and-red Fearless Meat sign to where the housing would go.
His restaurant, tucked into a narrow indoor space but spilling out onto a wide patio, has become known to the community for its towering Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, free soft-serve cones for kids and for giving out burgers to homeless people during the pandemic.

But ever since the 72-year-old butcher bought the building in 2016 — back when it was an antique store — he’s known exactly what he wanted to do with it: build affordable housing.
“The system right now is failing our most vulnerable people,” Brown says. “If people in the shelter system are given the right supports and assistance, they could transition successfully out of it … and that’s what this is designed to do.”
The project, long in the making for Brown, would include 100 self-contained affordable rental apartments in a nine-storey residential tower built atop the existing building and a neighbouring property he purchased in 2021, for a total height of 10 storeys.

Britain and Canada are still linked.

They both have evil corrupt poltiicians that are literally employees of the Arab nation.
Just like the Oligarchy Democrats are employees of the Chinese nation.

And I will say this for the billionth time, until I die or until it happens in my lifetime...............
CORRUPT GOVERNMENT WILL NOT END UNTIL THE PEOPLE RISE UP IN ARMS AND TAKE BACK WHAT IS THEIRS, AND DESTROY ALL THE OLIGARCHY AND THEIR MINIONS!!!!

I had the impression you were against socialism, that you are a champion of private ownership. No?

He is a private citizen and can help who he pleases.

We already have socialism around the globe, it's about degrees of governments role in peopels lives. People need a hand up and an investment can return great benefits to society at large in addition to G-ds Commands of us to fellow humans. Of course I support that and always have.

A covert police state that destroys its citizens, tampers in corporations and citizens rights which NONE of them fought for? Also decimating our reputation and innovation while forcing our best talent out of the nation is the enemy of the nation, plain and simple.

That is the socialism I have been warning Americans about.
