MONTREAL — After another homeless person died outside in Montreal, the city's mayor on Monday implored the provincial government to do more to help people struggling with homelessness.
"He's not a number — he's the third person to die in the street this year," Plante said, offering her sympathies during a housing announcement in the west-end of Montreal. Pierre Lessard-Blais, borough mayor of Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, called the death"an avoidable and sadly predictable tragedy," adding that it demonstrates the need for a provincewide plan to address homelessness.
Lessard-Blais said Legault and the province's social services minister have both claimed that the worst of the homeless crisis is over, but the borough mayor disagreed, noting Sunday's death was a"reminder of the reality."
