I think something like that is happening - available rooms are being prioritized for evacuees with medical or accessibility needs, as the article says.

The issue with proactively evicting people is...those people have to go somewhere, too.

"I ask all levels of government, please come together, work together, ask that these hotels and these accommodations make space for our people. We are in a state of emergency, you can give that directive."

I find this a little confusing - are they to "ask" the hotels to make space, or are they to "direct" them? Those are two very different things.

And if it's the latter...is there a legal way to do so? This is an honest question, I have no idea what the answer is.

I certainly agree that it needs government oversight and attention. A ministry, though...I'm not convinced, and inclined to think the worst when "we'll use AI to fix the government" was a consistent taking point during the campaign.

But it was rightly pointed out that AI is only part of the name. I'd just as soon it not be there, but we'll see what happens.

Ugh.

It was a BQ riding, not CPC.
