More to the story

☆

“Great report about Edmonton’s most notorious slum landlord. But, I feel that there is so, so much more to this story. He was the owner of Dwayne’s Home, which was funded in part by the city to “solve” homelessness, in turn he sold drugs after NA meetings, charged individuals on AISH their entire cheque with the promise of providing 3 squares, shelter, clothing and education, but instead were lucky if they received one cold meal a day and a room shared with 3 others. Women weren’t allowed, but as someone who walked by daily, he was turning women out of Dwayne’s Home… He also owned slum buildings that were next to the new arena (or so I’ve heard), some super sketchy deal went went down between Shah, Katz and the city of Edmonton or at least it’s rumoured… I’d like to hear more about this story!”

Very interesting…. Follow-up??

“Very interesting podcast! It’s a shame there weren’t any follow-up episodes updating on later developments as a friend of mine had to fill me in on some juicy details and developments that came out later and would’ve added a lot more colour to the series.”
