加拿大立志十年消除无家可归：卡尼在温尼伯宣布178亿加元十年投入，温尼伯先获2000套住房
加拿大总理卡尼（Mark Carney）11月6日在马尼托巴省温尼伯宣布，联邦政府将着手在十年内消除无家可归现象。卡尼说，几十年来各级政府与社区一直在应对这场危机，但努力常常资源不足、协调不佳、难以持续；他选择在预算公布次日先到温尼伯，是因为当地已有现成计划。
按刚公布的联邦预算，渥太华将自明年起四年内投入112亿加元、十年内投入178亿加元应对无家可归问题，预算估计全国约有6.5万人无家可归。温尼伯先行获得至少10亿加元新资金，用于兴建2000套住房及一座心理健康与成瘾治疗中心；马尼托巴省每年配套8400万加元支持联邦所建项目。
发布会在温尼伯市中心一处原哈德逊湾百货旧址举行，该址正由南方酋长组织改造为集住房与服务于一体的原住民社区枢纽。

Canada Aims to End Homelessness in 10 Years: Carney Puts C$17.8 Billion Over a Decade, Winnipeg Gets 2,000 Homes First
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on November 6 that the federal government will set out to eliminate homelessness within 10 years. Carney said governments and communities have tried for decades to address the crisis, but efforts were too often inadequately resourced, poorly co-ordinated and not sustained, and that he chose Manitoba as his first stop after the budget because a plan is already in place there.
Under the federal budget released the previous day, Ottawa will spend C$11.2 billion over four years starting next year and C$17.8 billion over 10 years to tackle homelessness, which the budget estimates affects about 65,000 Canadians. Winnipeg receives at least C$1 billion in new money first, toward 2,000 new housing units and a Centre for Mental Health and Addictions, with Manitoba committing C$84 million a year to support what Ottawa builds.
The announcement was held at Wehwehneh Bahgahkinahgohn, the former Hudson's Bay store in downtown Winnipeg being transformed by the Southern Chiefs' Organization into an Indigenous hub of housing and services.
