midtown TO fights back

sightings & discussions related to the City of Toronto's unfathomable decision to house homeless addicts right next to schools, daycares & seniors' residences

@BrackenrichCurt @ksorbs Someone needs prescription eyewear, spell check, and apparently, an ego boost.

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

@JoshMatlow @JohnTory Damn! Sorry we missed you. Please come back around 6am so you can see the addicts still lying about, the needles, the bottles and the mess they make. Yes, the excrement mess, yes, that, as well as the odd mailbox, garbage can or construction pylon toppled.

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

@JoshMatlow We need political figures who are thinkers and can help shape sound civic policy, not feelers who get uncomfortable with the tough issues. Gosh! Grow a pair and get aligned with your constituents.

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

Holy 💩! @JohnTory what's your staff smoking? @dougford pls honour your brother and "stop the gravy train"! @JustinTrudeau Where's our national strategy on drugs and crime? Stop passing the buck to municipalities, camouflaging this as a housing issue.

Some education for party leaders before an upcoming election. Plesse watch! Which of you will spearhead effective change before our cities spiral deeper into the drug crisis? @JustinTrudeau @theJagmeetSingh

@Joyce504941 @OurMidtown @JohnTory @JayeRobinson @JoshMatlow @fordnation There'd be no media, journalism & a pretty empty internet if we didn't take pics of other people. Do your homework on SISs. Do you think they contain users? Of course not, because that would violate their rights. They shoot up & hit the streets en masse. Not a pretty pic!

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

Our kids will be soon be sacrificial lambs on the frontlines, dodging drug users who loiter on school property, while drug deals, prostitution & crime happens for blocks around the shelter, at all hours. How could we possibly have put a shelter next door to 4 schools?@fordnation

[Midtown @OurMidtown]

Kids are going back to school in 2 weeks. Teenagers will be sitting ducks. Talk to your kids about drug use everyone! Make sure they're prepared... #MidtownTOSafety #yongeandeglinton @JohnTory @JayeRobinson @JoshMatlow @fordnation

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

Congrats @ErinOTooleMP. We look forward to hearing more about your platform in the coming days. Please aggressively work on a new strategy for homelessness, drug abuse and mental health. We need to restore safety to streets throughout our country. Shelters and SISs aren't working

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

And...(cue drumroll please @JohnTory) you guessed it, ANOTHER knife incident just minutes ago at the Roehampton shelter!

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

@JohnTory see the update on the Roehampton stabbing? @fordnation should also be interested. Google Colin Defreitas and you'll learn he was charged with murder back in 2008. Back hunting the homeless! Follow NYC & admit your shelter strategy isn't working! https://t.co/2x6BqdM9Zt

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

Another shelter stabbing, this time at the Roehampton. What else do we need to prove out here before politicans correct flawed strategies? @fordnation we have lost faith in municipal leaders with their dumb ass ideas on how to manage this. Where the hell are you on the issue?

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

Why is this so confusing? It's not about being uncompassionate towards the less fortunate or those with mental illness. We all care. It's simply about protecting kids. Politicians need to own their mistakes and correct them. Drug dens have no place near schools. Period.

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

@brandongonez According to city officials who have spoken up about the shelters, we all have nothing to fear so relax, my friend. Fear is an interesting phenomenon though. Gets ya when you least expect it! Careful, almost sounding like a NIMBY who doesn't want anyone around your back yard!?

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

Isn't this the pleasant street life everyone wants to welcome into their hood? We "stupid taxpayers"' are being mocked by shelter residents in intersection of Mt Pleasant and Eg. Nice work @JohnTory. @fordnation you should welcome these folks into your hood in Etobicoke too!

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

@JoshMatlow you have become a stranger to your constituents who rely on you for advocacy. Instead of blocking folks on SM, hiding from the press and shunning a local rally, you should be coaching, guiding and advocating. Shameful conduct! @cityoftoronto @JohnTory @JayeRobinson

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

Midtown's now a ginsu knives commercial "But, wait! There's more!" All in 24hrs:
-Heads up. 15 mins ago at NW Corner of Yonge & Davisville a couple was robbed in front of the subway shop. A male snatched their bag as he pushed the male down & ran off. @JohnTory @JustinTrudeau

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

Just one of the incidents for Tuesday. Mind numbing to think of the costs already racked up for police and fire calls to these shelters multiple times a day and night :(

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

@JohnTory @fordnation @JustinTrudeau you have all failed in moving fast enough with a real strategy for homelessness, mental health & drug addiction. How many tax paying, law-abiding citizens need to be impacted before you will deal with the few who need to be institutionalized?

[midtown TO fights back @savemidtownTO]

@JohnTory @JohnTory your sense of humour really is your best quality! Are you f'ing joking? Cause we don't think parks full of addicts are fun places to enjoy a beautiful summer day in this city. All that effort and tax money to perserve our green spaces, ruined by unmanaged crime!
