I refuse to despair, but I will organize. No one, including John Tory, will break my spirit or my conviction that we can and will do better in Toronto.

All of this legislated immiseration has been violently enforced by the police, receiving exorbitant amounts of funds on Tory’s watch. Worse, Toronto is embarking on a new order of private security firms patrolling what has become a battlefield for those simply fighting to exist.

These are but a few examples of the ruling class’s ongoing consolidation against the working class who built this city and keep it running — who create the value which, in turn, forces us out.

How does allowing the construction of 4,000 sq ft homes on Provincially significant wetlands addressing our housing affordability challenge? (It will make developers who now own such land incredibly wealthy. Perhaps that’s the point)

Speculation is speculation, burn it down. Housing is not a bank account.

Why 'foreign homebuyers tax of 25%' and not also to locals? End housing speculation now! Any 2nd home bought by a local has exactly the same impact on the market as a foreign buyer. 1st home? $0 Tax. 2nd? 20%. 3rd? 30%... Foreign or local. Speculate w stocks & lottery, NOT homes.

This morning: A homeless man sleeping on the sidewalk had his arm amputated by a heavy truck driving into a construction site. People called 911 but were put on hold and told to leave callback numbers. If anyone has a more perfect metaphor for life in Toronto right now, LMK

Car full of donations heading to the Novotel. We continue to be pushed out & we're losing 1 of only 2 case workers next Tuesday. Thanks to everyone who's donated so far. Spread the word & put pressure on Homes First to guarantee real housing for Novotel residents! #TOpoli

So…It’s happening Ontario…In an act of defiance, 55,000 CUPE education workers will be walking off the job this Friday in a province-wide protest. Who else stands in solidarity with them? ✊🏽

A worker on the east end has been calling Central Intake with a gentleman everyday for the last four weeks. This man comes to her workplace daily at 9am & they phone. Four weeks later, he still does not have a bed anywhere. What's the winter plan, City of Toronto 🇨🇦 ?

Last week, folks flooded Gord Tanner's phone demanding real housing. He's been ignoring us so join us as we show up and be heard. We need housing now! WE NEED YOUR SOLIDARITY! Come support our message to Gord & that we will stand up for the rights of poor people in TO! #TOpoli

The rollback of Physician and Hospital Services For Uninsured Persons will be devastating to the many unhoused people who don't have easy access to an OHIP card This isn't the system losing people through the cracks - these are barriers designed to bar people from healthcare

The mother of Gabriel Magalhaes, the 16 year old boy who was stabbed to death at Keele station this weekend, is calling for more help for people in crisis, and investments into mental health and housing she wanted her voice to be heard in this moment 💔 cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

Our full statement on last week's Ombudsman report on 2021's encampment evictions: shorturl.at/oJRX7 What this report has to offer our movement lies in what it reveals about the factors that made the City change course, and how that can inform our struggles ahead.
