York Region Housing Plan - Fed - Ex

Newmarket's new woman's shelter

The Tea Brewhaha Party has announced its plan for affordable housing using York Region as its potential test model to roll it out in should they get a candidate elected.

With York Region about to finish building its newest women's shelter, this one hopes to shelter homeless single women from across Ontario, the Party brass wondered where the women would go after their two week stays were up, given the lack of affordable housing for singles in York Region with a 12 - 18 year waiting list for social housing, and the least amount of apartments / home owners ratios in the entire country?

"Our plan includes labeling the person in a certain category such as Aboriginal or Muslim or Italian and then having the person shipped to any housing anywhere in Ontario set up specifically for their type", spokesperson and candidate Tomasino Paessano relayed yesterday, adding,

" Hey, you want housing, you gets what you gets. We tink it's fair and den people can live in harmony with dere own types."

Told this seemed segregational and possibly racist or a human rights violation Paezzano replied,

To be run by Salvation Army Church

What are you talking about? This is the existing model we have now. We're just offering to pay the costs to gets em dere. Why should an aboriginal be in a shelter here when we can ships em to an existing available home on a reserve, or a Muslim have to use a shelter run by Christians whens we can heave em housed wit der own kind."

Footnote: York Region / Ontario does indeed have assisted social housing wherein you must be a certain "type" to get in including the aforementioned " communities".
