According to the Globe and Mail, Stepehn Harper will announce next week that the government is going to spend 15 Billion over the next 5 years to buy new boats, planes, trucks and helicopters for the army. If we can spend that much money for the army, why we can't we spend the same amount of money on affordable housing?

15 Billion could probably build 100 000 houses, and probably Twice as many apartments/condos. Also, imagine how many jobs that would create?

hope you all went to protest in viger. how did it go?

It's supposed to be 20 C today. Perfect day to hang out in the park and soak up some rays.

Have a great day everyone. Enjoy the sun.

It's snowed about 2 feet so far in Montreal, and it hasn't let up yet. The city looks to be pretty quiet. I think everyone's hiding out. I hope everyone's found a good place to hide out during this storm.

On a day like today, I wish events like Etat Urgence (ATSA) in Berri Square could be set up all winter. On a day like today, a tent and some hot food could save lives.

How can we make it happen? Any ideas?
