A Futile Attempt At Intimidation

Well my friends today I received a harsh letter from a Elizabeth Repchuck of Gain HR on behalf of Urban Native Homes Inc. requesting I stop posting comments on this blog site in regards to Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou Housing Complex. Just so everybody knows the company Gain HR is not a law firm nor is Elizabeth Repchuck a lawyer.

This site “Native Housing” was originally created as a form to semi privately vent my frustrations and to express my compliments and complaints about the place I reside. Before this site was created I’ve sent many complaint and concern e-mails to the Director of Urban Native Homes Inc. and never got a response back.

Up yours Elizabeth Repchuck! I’m exercising my right under the Constitutional law of Canada “The Freedom of Expression Act” Section 2(b) of the Charter states that "Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: ... freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression.

If your client can’t handle hard criticism and sarcastic humor then tell them not to enter my site because my Native Housing blog will continue on. I would also suggest you and your client read all my posts dated back to July 24/2010 and do some brainstorming on how to improve the atmosphere at this place.
To show that I’m a reasonable man I’ll comply with your request, for a limited time I will not name and shame the fuck ups.
Oh and one last thing Elizabeth...after reading your letter I've decided to post the Native Housing link on Twitter and Facebook. I don't know if your client will shake your hand or slap you for your efforts.

Have a great weekend everybody and don't accept junk mail from Fedex. :)

Poor Working Environment

My unit is located near the KMHC office, along with a friendly wave or hello I see the junior staff going about their business in a cheerful manner with the exception of one employee. You would think KMHC has a pleasant working environment but that is not the case. March 2016 is when Urban Native Homes head office was forced to move from their former spacious location to the cramp basement level of KMHC. There were approx. 8-10 staff members at the time. Then the Urban Native Homes financial scandal broke out and soon after the current UNH acting director’s illicit past became public knowledge, everyone was worried will they have a job. Fearful meetings going on in the community room, the rumor mill was in full rotation while I just stood back and observed the panic. Check your search engine it states this building location is Urban Native Homes head office yet that is not correct. There is no real head office, the organization has s...

The Passing of Dean King

There's not many original KMHC tenants left that I know, last week I got word tenant Dean King passed away, we were not related and I remember when he moved in the building we got along well, we hung out often and he shared stories about his life and family. Eventually I notice he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the drawer and I started drifting away thus ended our friendship. Dean didn't have the usual addictions most male aboriginals endure he didn't drink or do drugs the problem was his mental state which I believe began after an auto accident years before. After I moved out of KMHC I'd often see him standing in line at the food bank in Gore Park in downtown Hamilton or hanging out with street friend Galina in Jackson Square food court. He didn't have many friends and other KMHC tenants just tolerated and accepted his strange behavior. He'd walk the streets looking disheveled and lost. When I received the news Dean died I didn't feel sad I felt surpri...

Sandy Holland

On February 27th 2025 I heard the passing of tenant Elder Sandy Holland. I knew she was in bad health and said to her friend she's ready to go. I met her years ago when she moved to KMHC she seem a bit daffy yet in a nice way, never spoke mean about others but had strong opinions about UNH staff. We would meet at UNH dinner functions and meetings and always offered me hug. She never got personal sharing her life stories with me which I can respect. RIP
