In all, we (Ruth Talbot, Asia Fields, Maya Miller & myself) spoke with more than 300 people about these actions and reported from 11 cities. We hope you'll take some time to read: projects.propublica.org/homeless-encam…

This! AMO's 444 Ontario municipalities are calling on Doug Ford to address encampments through meaningful solutions, like investing in deeply affordable housing. *Not* by using the notwithstanding clause to remove homeless people's Charter rights. amo.on.ca/policy/health-…

50M is peanuts for affordable housing. So ridiculously small it's clearly designed to just be there to bury the lede on the criminalization of homelessness.

It's always been bonkers that #ldnont, a so-called 'leader' on homelessness issues, doesn't have 24H warming centres in the dead of winter. But this year, it's especially cruel. I know we all want long-term solutions, but can we all agree we'd like everyone to survive til then?

Evidence shows that the majority of cold-related injuries happen at temperatures ABOVE -15C: maphealth.ca/homeless-cold-… The sheer attendance shows the need for this emergency warming centre. #LDNont should keep it open until temperatures are consistently above zero, at minimum.
