    Good? 140$ per night for a hotel room is roughly what I would have expected, it’s not like this government (or the Conservatives) would ever consider building and operating their own housing, so this is the only option…

    I imagine the problem here is that we need more government workers hired to process asylum seekers, but once again would we expect the Conservative government (the one that has been on and off criticising the number federal workers we have) to actually hire more people to fix that?

    I’m so tired of reading these low effort “news” pieces

      Conservatives would really prefer to force Holiday Inn to house asylum seekers for 10$/day because they apparently hate the free market. Their words - not mine.
