@StevensonLDN Let's put this in perspective shall we? London police have a $168-million budget this year, up $37.1 million from 2023, funded solely by London taxpayers. The 2023 police budget was $131.4 million, funded only by property taxes...
@StevensonLDN Susan, dude, read the whole article. You're misrepresenting what is written. Also those social services were largely the same ones in place 15 years ago when I lived in the Sandy Hill neighbourhood.... What's changed are the drugs, not the services.
In McGill's request for an injunction against the Gaza solidarity encampment, they make what should be a deeply embarrassing claim: they've repeated asked the police to attack their students, but the police have urged them to resolve the situation peacefully.
the u of a encampment was so dangerous that i took my six year old there twice where she committed the dangerous and radical crimes of defacing the sidewalk with purple sidewalk chalk, zooming around the quad entirely too fast on her scooter and picking dandelions.
📍University of Alberta
This morning, Edmonton police violently raided the University of Alberta Gaza solidarity encampment, making at least 2 arrests while wielding and swinging batons at students.
@StevensonLDN ... Then why does housing in every case seem to help in these cases? Also, not every unhoused individual is suffering from addition or mental illness. This is incredibly ill informed and reductive.
