Critics argue that, if these bills are passed, homelessness would be essentially criminalized. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Katie Burkholder-Harris, the Executive Director of the Alliance To End Homelessness. But first, we sift through the CFRA textboard and tackle today’s Question of the Day. If you’re dining out in Quebec, tips must be calculated using the before-tax price, starting today.
