So Toronto Mayor Tory has now "privatized" the criminalization of poverty. With two sole sourced "security" contracts totalling $1m given the mandate to keep poor people from setting up living quarters in parks like Trinity Bellwoods. Shame! OCAP #canlab #nooneisillegal

We spoke directly with Global News Toronto today and answered all the questions drafted up by Isaac Callan yet the piece they ended up running today only contained commentary from the city and TO police. This is not how you run a story on an encampment eviction. globalnews.ca/news/8915077/c…

Cops arrested Jordn, an Indigenous man living in a tiny shelter in Clarence Square Park. Pick up your phones right now to call 52 Division and demand Jordn's immediate release! More info below. Thanks to ESN Parkdale

Thinking the time is ripe for an OCAP successor to enter the stage, and take the fight up a notch Begging the City and Province to act humanely, in accordance with international human rights law hasn't worked well, in the years since OCAP was a force to be reckoned with

For my followers in other countries, this is a common experience at cafes, homes, and ground-level retail shops across the United States. We built all these buildings directly in the way of reckless/speeding drivers, and they’re not happy about it!!

Ontario Coalition Against Poverty OCAP had a profoundly positive and important impact on framing who belongs in our city. Thanks for all your work.

It can't be overstated just how important OCAP was in advocating for social justice in Ontario, especially during the horrific Mike Harris era. #onpoli

“Do you represent us as injured workers? Do you represent our families who hurt when we are hurting? So today, we’re sending a message that we’re not going to back down. It’s about respect for injured workers.” - Andria Babbington TYR Labour Council President, #InjuredWorkersDay

Really?? Best before date is not the cause of food insecurity. The government knows exactly what is causing food insecurity--anything to distract from the real problem. Smh
