Not that it affects me personally but I just learned that some TCHC houses/buildings are restricted to only members of certain religion(s). So much for diversity and integration, eh.

TCHC has been segregationist for many years resulting in welfare housing with people of similar, ethnicities and religions all together. The TCHC finds this policy advantageous for many reasons such as compatability, tolerence and nearby community social services for specific groups. The upside to this unwritten policy outweighs the negatives.
 
And here I thought religion was a no go, as far as governmental decision making,...but I guess the idiots at TCHC are excluded,...!!!

No Christmas trees in government buildings,...but for another specific privileged religion,...that's different.

Time to get used to the new realities of living in a Canada that is quickly being given over to a religious group that knows how to squawk, complain & file human rights charges against anyone not of their faith. Read today's Toronto Sun (comments page) about the legislation being pushed thru the Quebec National Assembly.
 
 
A reporter asked one of the councillors if a private landlord can "pick and choose" his tenants and he dodged the question.

I was under the impression that TCHC wanted to create "mixed neighborhoods" to avoid creating ghettos.
 
They wanted a SPECIFIC type of Muslim too, which is strange. So being a Shia, Sufi, or Ismaili wouldn't qualify you either.
 
I never lived in housing but living among and going to school with Jamaicans isn't very pleasant.
Maybe segregation is making a comeback. Segregated housing only for Muslims. Segregated schools (called "Afrocentric Schools) only for blacks.
 
anybody can attend the tdsb afrocentric school. non black students are not interested in going.
 
ummm..the building in the news is not a TCHC building...it is a non profit formed by the religious group from back in a time where churches and other organizations were being encouraged to participate in the building of non profit housing. The underlying problem remains the lack of affordable housing for all...and the lack of a national housing strategy. And yes, I am a new democrat.
 
can Habitat for Humanity help?

Did you read my previous comment? They're looking for a SPECIFIC group of Muslims for this TCHC unit. It can't be just any Muslim. I'm too lazy to look up the name right now but it starts with an "A".

That is why the city tolerates so many illegal rooming houses (low cost housing) except many are firetraps and there are always fights between tenants.
