Yesterday, Bryan Passifiume of the Toronto Sun published an article about our work that contained factual errors. Despite SPT repeatedly reaching out, these mistakes have yet to be fixed. Mr. Passifiume is entitled to his opinion, but we ask that he not publish misinformation.
As opioid overdoses continue to ravage Ontario, Toronto neighbourhoods with supervised consumption sites have seen dramatic decreases in drug fatalities, a new study shows. https://t.co/w2DgBi0JBX
In 14 years of covering city budgets I don’t recall police or any city-funded agency using taxpayer-funded channels to lobby the public & politicians like this. Somebody at city hall longer than me said you’d have to go back to Chief Fantino’s days
Transit riders have already lost 469,333 hours of our time since the #Scarborough RT derailed. Every day that construction is delayed, we lose another 20 minutes.
We're collecting signatures on our Invoice for Lost Time and delivering it to the budget committee this afternoon.
Joining @ttcriders today, @tebrons and I call on the Feds to show up for Toronto, paying their fare for public transit (trains for Xmas!), shelters and housing benefits that get unhoused folks into housing. @DailyBreadTO@TOpoli#cdnpoli
"It is time for Ottawa to pay their fair share for Toronto, particularly for public transit, shelters & housing benefits that are critical to addressing growing poverty." write @ItsJinHuh of @planningtoronto & @tebrons of @DailyBreadTO. #ToPoli#NewDeal

@ttcriders - TTC riders at Donlands Station asking local residents and transit users to call their MPs! We need federal commitment to matching funds for replacement Line 2 subway cars NOW. Province has stepped up - why not Feds? @canada? #TTC#TOPoli
This updated financial plan is about more than just getting more money in the City’s bank account. It’s about realizing a vision for Toronto where all our communities, businesses & residents can thrive. We encourage the Mayor and City Councillors to vote to adopt this plan!
Make no mistake NO immigrant is entering Ontario asking to live on the Greenbelt🤨
Premier @fordnation do NOT use immigrants as your scapegoat!
No one is drinkin' ur Kool-aid
Your govt lies to the public and gifts sweetheart deals to your rich buddies.

"A group of 10 civil society organizations, including TTCriders, a group that represents the subway system’s riders, is calling on the CRTC to ensure that Rogers does not delay access for other carriers." #TTC#TOpoli

In a shameful & buried Friday aft media statement:

Three of @cityoftoronto's four warming centres are now closed to new admissions. Austerity means that we will not ensure that unhoused people have a safe, warm place to escape the elements, and that we'll instead let them live and sleep on unmaintained, slush-filled streets.
