Carney takes aim at Poilievre’s ‘American-style’ approach on homelessness

Liberal leader Mark Carney took aim at Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre Wednesday after his newly-released, fully costed party platform vowed to give police and judges more power to dismantle tent cities. Carney said in his view, Poilievre was taking an “American-style” approach to ending homelessness by essentially “criminalizing” it. Carney suggested that creating affordable homes while helping people with mental health and addiction issues will mitigate the crisis.
