David Thompson the richest man in Canada makes an appearance behind premier Wab Kinews left. It seems as though there is also significant funding from the private sector as well, in today's announcement on homelessness.

@graand Love that Wab took the reigns of the press conference at one point and made the business case for ending homelessness.
@mike I misspoke slightly. The $1B is an overall budget item with $200M for a mental health and addictions facility and the balance for new housing and to provide services like transitional and permanent supported housing. The term ‘generational changes’ does not seem out of place.

@mike This is huge! The story is that Chipman and Carney have been talking for over a year. One item in the budget is $1B plus for a new mental health and addictions complex in Winnipeg. This has nothing to do with the TNSE Portage Place development. Details TBD but up and running within three years! Just, wow!
