@StevensonLDN How is it that you’ve been formally found in breach of conduct as a city councillor and yet are the director of police governance for the province? How many tax-payer funded expense accounts do you have, Councillor? #ldnont#asafercitynow
@StevensonLDN@LFPress@CityofLdnOnt Any update, Councillor? If you vote no to the 519 Pursuit budget tomorrow, what happens to this man? Without 519 Pursuit, is the city going to let him starve and die alone in a tent? Surely even you can’t abide by that? #ldnont
@StevensonLDN@LFPress@CityofLdnOnt Any update, Councillor? Is this man still living outside? Is he still alive? What actions have you taken to secure support and/or housing for him? #ldnont
@StevensonLDN So, you were councillor for that ward for almost 4 years and this is the first time you’ve talked to anyone at the Ark?!There isn’t anything to think about - you either vote to keep feeding the poorest people in our community, or you force them to starve or steal food. #ldnont
@StevensonLDN So, you want to stop feeding the poorest folks in our communities, Councillor? Then what? It’s *almost* like spending $1-Billion on lps didn’t help and in fact made things worse. Why is the $25M in a foundation and not paying people’s rent? Why did you defund shelters? #ldnont
@LFPress@JackAtLFPress I can’t believe how much we pay these people to sit around and accomplish literally nothing that is helpful. Very expensive, and violent, political theatre.
@StevensonLDN There are more than three decades of research that shows how harm reduction saves lives AND tax dollars, but you know that. What you’re advocating for is the Social Murder Model, Councillor - shame on you. #ldnont
And in #ldnont most folks don’t even get a ride to a shelter, they get discharged to the closest bus stop from the hospital - including paraplegics. But we have a 4-year, $1-Billion police budget.
Think this doesn't happen in Canada? Where do you think people who get discharged from hospital go? I can't tell you the number of times a cab has dumped someone with medical conditions we aren't able to support in front of a full shelter.

@laurby This is happening across the country: city councils defunding shelters & social services in order to increase law enforcement budgets, including hundreds of millions to build cop cities.
@DNewcombeCTV To call a thin blue line flag a “police-style patch” is actually a telling choice here: it is a symbol of racism / fascism. I’d love to see the budget comparison for social services outreach teams vs these CiR teams @StevensonLDN@JoshMorganLDN. #ldnont
@CTVLondon Imagine how much #ldnont could change if we only paid municipal politicians the minimum hourly wage, made them survive eating from the food bank, made them take the LTC to work, and stopped them voting themselves a 36% pay increase. #ldnont#iwantmytaxdollarsback
@EquityNetworkD Apparently most people agree that non-terminal folks should be offered above-“poverty” level social supports instead of euthanasia, but when asked if they also support increasing social services budgets to meet said needs, they say: no, RIP.
