The money is only targeting a portion of the city s homelessness problem, set aside specifically for veterans. It s to help support the vet through that process of you ring the doorbell you re at crisis through stabilization, connections and then into your permanent housing, it can be a quick process as quick as 60-90 days or it can be a really complex long process, said Warren Maddox, Executive Director at Fredericton Homeless Shelters Inc.

Colombia: Cali Mayor Booed Out of Attempted Talks with Leftist Rioters
14 May 2021
Representatives of alleged youth protesters booed the mayor of Cali, Colombia, out of scheduled negotiations aimed at ending leftist blockades and violent riots in the city Thursday.
Colombia has entered its third week of violent leftist attacks on police forces, medical personnel, and basic infrastructure prompted by what leftist groups are calling a “national strike” against conservative President Iván Duque. While protesters initially claimed the objective of protests was to oppose a progressive tax increase Duque proposed in late April, the president rapidly backed away from the suggestion after swift condemnation from both leftists and the leaders of his own party, the right-wing Democratic Center. Duque abandoned the tax plan nearly two weeks ago, yet the “national strike” continues.
