Show Notes

On this episode of The 905 Round-Up:

Roland and Joel look at the long journey to raise the #prideflag at #HCDSB schools, and the perils of live-tweeting 5-hour long board meetings.

Then Roland reviews the leaked proposals from the Housing Affordability Task Force as reported on by TVO. Could this be the progressive policy to transform Ontario's housing market? Will the Ford government follow suit on it?

Lastly, Joel and Roland talk about the cruelty of #HamONT forcing away the homeless from getting warm at City Hall. Taking away options without providing new ones only exacerbates the problem in Hamilton and the 905 at large.
