Someone needs to explain to me how defunding the state so that developers pocket even more money is going to fix the housing crisis.

I sure do.

It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally AGAINST downtown bike-lanes, later became one of their most vigourous supporters, because of EVIDENCE that bike-lanes are better for downtown business than any street parking they replace.

@visegrad24 Most of you cannot even control your anger on Twitter when you read something that you don't like, yet you want a mother that has just lost her son unjustly to act like Buddha 😂

It was an honour to be a part of @Gruesomebrat's incredible run for office. Truly an awe-inspiring campaign that used activism and protest to help raise the consciousness of both our supporters and detractors.

@TO_nuisance, you are a legend, and everyone else on the campaign. 🫡

There are no queer friendly cops. #Pride means abolish the police, abolish prisons, and queer liberation.

Today is not the finish line, though. The real work still lies before us, as our community must hold whoever is elected today accountable to their promises, no matter how vague.

Winter is coming, and the @cityoftoronto has already signaled that there is no money in @JohnTory's final austerity budget to maintain Warming Centres through the coldest part of the year.

Between shelter closures, already record-breaking turn-away stats from Central Intake...

[Gru4Mayor (Archived) @Gru4Mayor]

How fucked is it that ppl w/ lived experience of homelessness are screaming that "winter is coming, and a plan is needed" every fucking year, as early as May and June, and the @cityoftoronto eventually gets around to discussing the possibility of winter planning in November...

... & state violence against unhoused constituents that politicians like Moise, @JonBurnside_DVE, @marksaunders_TO, & @anabailaoTO have supported or voted for, this yr is going to see record #'s of those same constituents die, which is likely why SSHA refuses to share the stats

[Gru @Gruesomebrat]

While I fully agree with Lynn and @FellowTravellrs that kindness, respect, and love go a long way for our neighbours who have lost housing... @CityCynthia's assertion that there are an "estimated 10,000 unhoused Torontonians" is... well...

[Gru4Mayor (Archived) @Gru4Mayor]

If Tanner is accurate here, 200 turnaways/night from the shelter system, another 50% increase in that number since the last data release, is deeply concerning.

As is the fact that his division has so far refused to abide by Council's request for quarterly reporting of deaths.

Given that May's Central Intake data has yet to come out, this past week's City Council session provides our best view of how bad the situation is.

Particularly, Gord Tanner's answer to @BravoDavenport's question here... long story short, it ain't good
