Another example of London is not paying enough for planners. Cornwall is hiring a Planning Supervisor for $104-117k per year, while London is still trying to hire at $61-89k for functionally the same role. Cornwall: atlas.workland.com/work/37639/sup… London: careers.london.ca/job/London-Sen…

Government are in the midst of a housing and affordability crisis. Rather than fix it, they wanna scapegoat drug users. Whether it's street sweeps, decampments or bans on public drug use, this is all about that old desire to ban poor people from sight.

Hey London, Ontario (#LdnOnt) - and residents of cities & towns across Canada 🇨🇦 - always remember to vote for people who share your values! It’s hard to read the relentless & dehumanizing tweets of London city councillor Susan Stevenson (@StevensonLDN) about people living in…
There's a lucrative attention economy built around stoking fear of marginalized people. Zivo, Stevenson and others of their ilk try to use it to gain influence and power. As a community, we must find ways to counter these fear merchants, and rebuild some sense of hope.

I'm re-reading #budget2024 and this is maybe the most offensive paragraph in any budget I've ever read. Why?
@StevensonLDN Please come walk with me. I've lived here since '94. I'm absolutely in favour of scaling up new, evidence-based harm reduction measures instead of clinging to the policy mistakes that got us here. I walk on Dundas & the Municipal Lots E*V*E*R*Y D*A*Y and have worked here. Come.
Years of bad policy created this crisis. Now that we're piloting evidence-based solutions, this Councillor rejects them and wants to dig in on the policy choices that caused the problem. And she wants *you* to feel angry about it, even though she could fix it now. #LdnOnt

I'm not confident that London will win out in the talent competition for the best planners available.
I'd be interested in also tracking planner compensation in each of these cities, and how that may affect long-term trajectories? For example, London is currently recruiting two Senior Planners at $54-88k per year. Clarington is hiring three Senior Planners at $94-114k per year.
The irony is that this move will not win the BC NDP any more votes. Capitulating to the right never wins - people just vote for the right anyway. It looks desperate. The premier looks like a disappointed high school principal, “this behaviour will not be tolerated”
I’m gutted to see decrim gutted. We struggled for 30 years. Spent the last three working intensively. Drug prohibition has had over a century to prove whether it works. We had about 18 months
Government are in the midst of a housing and affordability crisis. Rather than fix it, they wanna scapegoat drug users. Whether it's street sweeps, decampments or bans on public drug use, this is all about that old desire to ban poor people from sight.
Decrim has never prevented cops from telling drug users to move along, or to stop someone from using in a private business or in a hospital. The idea that cops can't stop someone smoking rock in a donut shop is ridiculous.
A "blanket ban on public use" without more housing & OPSs will drive people back into the alleys, where they will overdose alone and die. Bringing us out of the allies and back into society was the whole point of decrim.
Today, BC gov announced they're making public drug use illegal. Public use has not increased because of decrim. People use outside for lack of alternatives. We've been calling for more OPSs, treatment & housing for 25 yrs. If we'd been listened to, there'd be no issue today.
@ZivoAdam The BC NDP hasn't ended decriminalization, but aside from that minor detail, great reporting as always.
@ZivoAdam Did u actually watch EBY? Nothing has ended. It is still ok to carry 2.5 grams. Previously, this could be confiscated or you could be arrested. Eby just clarified that you can't use drug in spaces that are considered public. Most of those using outside are "home challenged."
The idea that the very presence of drug users is dangerous to families is hurtful. We are not monsters. Many of us who came up a code. We'd holler "kids on the block" when families are around as a cue to stop using, dealing etc. Drug users want to be good neighbours.

And, we’ve been saying this for a number of years but it seems to not resonate w/ Canadians. Colonialism didn’t end w/ residential schools. Residential schools were but one tool in the toolbox. Canada & society still perpetuates colonial practices on Indigenous populations.
Indigenous people in canada are murdered and incarcerated at higher rates because dehumanization of Indigenous people by the state and settler colonial society remains continuous
