@ShabbatSlalom @ESNParkdale @MayorOliviaChow @DianneSaxe That doesn’t mean that the influence and pressure those lobbying for a garden aren’t linked to the eviction. The garden itself being more an excuse to evict than the desire to actually use said garden.

Please repost: three people who spoke up for #FreePalestine at @scotiabank #GillerPrize are being detained at @FourSeasons in Toronto. Let them go! Let them go now!

URGENT CALL

A fire at the @stclare_housing-managed supportive housing building at 877 Yonge St. flooded units from the 12th to 2nd floor today.

Residents—some elderly and disabled—are being told to spend the night with soaked belongings, water still leaking from ceilings.

The rollback of Physician and Hospital Services For Uninsured Persons will be devastating to the many unhoused people who don't have easy access to an OHIP card

This isn't the system losing people through the cracks - these are barriers designed to bar people from healthcare

The mother of Gabriel Magalhaes, the 16 year old boy who was stabbed to death at Keele station this weekend, is calling for more help for people in crisis, and investments into mental health and housing

she wanted her voice to be heard in this moment 💔

Our full statement on last week's Ombudsman report on 2021's encampment evictions:

What this report has to offer our movement lies in what it reveals about the factors that made the City change course, and how that can inform our struggles ahead.

Critical for councillors to read before it is on agenda (tomorrow?). @BravoDavenport @gordperks @ausmalik @ChrisMoiseTO @PaulaFletcherTO @LilyChengTO @DianneSaxe @JoshMatlow @cllrainslie etc

A worker on the east end has been calling Central Intake with a gentleman everyday for the last four weeks. This man comes to her workplace daily at 9am & they phone.

Four weeks later, he still does not have a bed anywhere.

What's the winter plan, @cityoftoronto ?

[Voices for Unhoused Liberation @Voices4UL]

Last week, folks flooded Gord Tanner's phone demanding real housing. He's been ignoring us so join us as we show up and be heard. We need housing now!

WE NEED YOUR SOLIDARITY! Come support our message to Gord & that we will stand up for the rights of poor people in TO! #TOpoli

[Praises @Praisesmusic]

@Gruesomebrat I’m so so curious about this. As I can think of only three people housed from bond or Nova. This is what they should be giving us straight info on. And it’s in many ways also to their benefit, so even they could join on petitioning for more permanent housing to be on offer.

[Praises @Praisesmusic]

@Gruesomebrat Absolutely

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

So…It’s happening Ontario…In an act of defiance, 55,000 CUPE education workers will be walking off the job this Friday in a province-wide protest.

Who else stands in solidarity with them? ✊🏽

This morning:

A homeless man sleeping on the sidewalk had his arm amputated by a heavy truck driving into a construction site. People called 911 but were put on hold and told to leave callback numbers.

If anyone has a more perfect metaphor for life in Toronto right now, LMK

[Voices for Unhoused Liberation @Voices4UL]

Car full of donations heading to the Novotel. We continue to be pushed out & we're losing 1 of only 2 case workers next Tuesday.

Thanks to everyone who's donated so far. Spread the word & put pressure on @Homes_First to guarantee real housing for Novotel residents! #TOpoli

How does allowing the construction of 4,000 sq ft homes on Provincially significant wetlands addressing our housing affordability challenge? (It will make developers who now own such land incredibly wealthy. Perhaps that’s the point)

[Gil Penalosa @Penalosa_G]

Why 'foreign homebuyers tax of 25%' and not also to locals? End housing speculation now! Any 2nd home bought by a local has exactly the same impact on the market as a foreign buyer. 1st home? $0 Tax. 2nd? 20%. 3rd? 30%... Foreign or local. Speculate w stocks & lottery, NOT homes.

[Praises @Praisesmusic]

Speculation is speculation, burn it down. Housing is not a bank account.

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

Curbing foreign speculation is just racism and xenophobia disguised as housing policy. All speculation, domestic and foreign, should end. https://t.co/BiyKwl7cdM
