While police get free rein to over a billion public dollars to spend as they see fit — including $337,000 on a podcast — unhoused people are left to freeze and social programs to starve. Toronto needs to re-evaluate its priorities and its budget, stat. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

“This is the voice of a councillor who is not white. Who is not male, who is saying, ‘We could do more today or tomorrow by just thinking what we are going to do, in a month of significance,” Joy Lachica (she/her) ❤️

I'm at city hall. the council chamber has been cleared twice for people disruptions, but this time many haven't left, and neither have most media. here a sample of what people are saying:

Addictions and homelessness advocates say they're excited by the news a proposal has come together for detox, rehab beds for Peterborough, though it can't stop there. thepeterboroughexaminer.com/local-peterbor…

Anybody else shocked???? Nope 👎

All I have ever done or wanted to do is help make a difference. And due to the person who is doing all of this, I am now second guessing every step I’ve taken. I had a volunteer bring down snack bags and other items last night because I’m doing my best but it doesn’t seem enough

Peterborough pest control company sees 150% increase in rat calls over the past two years. thepeterboroughexaminer.com/local-peterbor…

It is with a very deep sadness that I can now say I do not feel safe here anymore. Between people I was working with spreading rumours and making false allegations to now being told people I care for are going to be hurt or that I deserve to be raped again. #unsafe

All we have ever wanted to do, and continue to do, is help in the best way possible. As it stands, due to personal circumstances and nonsense beyond our control, we've taken a step into the background and will be continuing to help but in a silent way.

The supports we have in place aren’t enough. Last night, a pregnant woman was denied entry to a full Overflow and spent the night on the shelter steps, requiring an ambulance this morning. We need accessible shelter and 24/7 support available.

Extremely upsetting but to be transparent: I was sexually assaulted last night and it has affected my ability to do things due to PTSD from previous assaults. I will be continuing my mission and attending my committee training meeting this week but not much else. #endthestigma
