BREAKING NEWS: SHJN has written an Open Letter, in consultation with various community organizations and individuals to demand that the @cityoftoronto step up and actually choose CARE for *all* Torontonians ! tinyurl.com/SHJN-open-lett… #HousingEmergency #TorontoNeedsCare #TOpoli
If you live in the East End of Hamilton and want to fight for change, come to tonight's chapter meeting to learn where to start!
I am both so sad and so enraged that anti-Black racism takes too many brilliant and loving people in so many ways long before our spirits are supposed to part from this Earth. Fuck every last person who engages, denies or stays silent.
to say we need to “take care of those here” before we let in others is rooted in scarcity mindset, which is large connected to whiteness. we don’t have a resource problem; we have an issue in the distribution of resources, and the constant prioritizing of profit over people.
"I went into City Hall invited them out for a coffee and donut. They said they'd come but they haven't come out yet. Seeing these people I don't want them evicted I know what it's like to be homeless" @AndreaHorwath come out of City Hall and talk to them #HamOnt #onpoli #CNDPoli
In #HamOnt we have people living in encampments, council divided over a choice between affordable housing and a parking lot and the average house price being way out of reach for the majority. @TheSpec brings us Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. And they say journalism is dead.

When responding to this encampment the City is directed by the following: - ensure everyone living in emcampments has access to clean water, sanitation, food, heating, accessibility, Healthcare and harm reduction. Have these services been coordinated? I'd like to see proof

In the Conservative/Liberal privatized healthcare system, you pay with your credit card & your OHIP card. Dr. abandons 1600 patients to move to a private clinic that charges $5,000/yr to access OHIP covered services. #onpoli #onthealth @OntarioHealthC
Hundreds of Toronto patients were left scrambling after a family doctor closed her practice and moved to a private health clinic that charges $5,000 annually. “This isn’t about just one doctor and thousands of patients abandoned. It’s about the erosion of our healthcare system.”
Dr. Menezes and I are bringing our policy motions forward at the Board’s next meeting, where we expect they’ll pass. Not sure why they would be treated any differently on February 29 than February 15, but happy for them to move forward all the same.
Don’t like the motions? Not happy with the approach? Easy solution = write motions of your own and put them on the table. Or, even easier, amend the motions on the table to make them better - collaborate with those willing to put in the work.
The thing that’s particularly troubling about this - no other member of the Board suggested a single cent in savings of any kind. Not one. They also didn’t put forward any motions to ask the Chief to look at future savings. In fact, they voted down those recommendations.
“Alok Mukherjee, former chair of the Toronto Police Services Board from 2005 to 2015, said board members do have the power to suggest specific savings to the police service the way Kroetsch and Menezes tried to do.” #HamOnt
NEW: In a sit-down interview, Horwath explained why she opposed asking #HamOnt police to cut specific items from its $214.8 million budget. We also spoke to experts to determine what power the police board has to make cuts. cbc.ca/news/canada/ha…
frustrating to watch this play out. instead of arguing in favour of specific police line items, @AndreaHorwath and her block are saying, in so many words, that it's inappropriate for the board to even have oversight. some democracy🪑
