On November 22, National Housing Day, the federal government released on Facebook its 60 page, six-month consultation report outlining what Canadians said they want to see in a national housing strategy. The process itself was modern and utilized a hashtag (#LetsTalkHousing) social media, a web portal, stakeholder meetings and roundtables to gather their findings. In total approximately 9,000 people participated in the survey or submitted ideas.
I cannot glean one new piece of information from it.
It regurgitated facts that are well known to the government: "Close to 35,000 Canadians will experience some form of homelessness on any given night."
