Hey everyone! Things have been going well at the Bond table, although we filed to complaints about not having access to hot water when they turn the boiler off on weekends, the two resident elevators that are kept down and the one they keep in good repairs are not allowed to use.

How has policing encampments worked out in the U.S.? Ballooning police budgets, paid for by the public, yet a decline in clearance rates for serious crimes. Doug Ford's Bill 6 will solve less serious crime, and absolutely not solve homelessness. It's Donald J. Trump policy.

"What we're hearing, particularly from service providers, as well as patrons, is that this police presence is deterring people from accessing the life-saving services inside," - Caitlin Shane

we love you Trey and everyone feeling this heavy loss. Trey was a giant and saved so many people's lives. <3

Trump’s proposed funding cuts to overdose prevention services like naloxone are unacceptable. DPA federal policy manager Hanna Sharif-Kazemi spoke to CBS about how cuts put lives at risk and jeopardize the progress we’ve made curbing the overdose crisis. cbsnews.com/news/overdose-…

Fun Fact: Homelessness also costs taxpayers. In fact, it costs less to provide safe housing to end homelessness than it does to manage homelessness indefinitely — particularly through health care and criminal justice costs. The healthiest choice is also the cheapest.

Indigenous sovereignty isn't "unfounded," it's in our constitution. You're just racist

Cons acting like everything is a joke and a game.

I will be making a statement shortly on the next steps I plan to take after this three year legal nightmare and the lawfare from Ms Sa'd and her "colleagues" and collaborators against many activists. Thank you so much to Megan Schwartzenruber, Ben and her team, and to Elisa who

Join us tomorrow to send a message to Ford to commit to housing! Homes not handcuffs

A reminder that Doug Ford's HART Hubs, which do not replicate supervised consumption sites, still have no funding. Ford also has not distributed the COHB — a rent supplement program — this year. He criminalizes homelessness, yet lends zero support. cbc.ca/news/canada/lo…

Politicians like these are floundering, so they gravitate toward the easy politics of opposing social infrastructure — and shelters especially. Why is Brad Bradford✌️ undermining his Council colleagues and City staff to bolster fringe voices instead of doing his job?

Public infrastructure like bike lanes and shelters save lives and improve safety. And despite today's protest from anti-transit, anti-shelter proponents — just 30 of them — they did not stop six new shelter sites from moving forward this afternoon. Good. thestar.com/news/gta/prote…

This is shocking. Since Doug Ford shut down supervised consumption sites, drop-in programs are seeing massive increases in overdoses — including a 288% increase just last month. Overdoses don't go away; they get moved to spaces with fewer supports and resources.

isn't it like, patriotic or something to invest in our public institutions? is that what elbows up is? or is it gutting via rail until the trains are so slow that it takes 3 days to get from here to Montreal (up from the current time of 2 days)?

Trump and lawmakers “act like they’re actually doing something, when they’re actually gutting federal programs and agencies that work to support people with substance use disorder,” said DPA’s Federal Affairs Director Maritza Perez Medina washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

In Aug of 2017, we opened Ontario's first overdose prevention site. We were burning out from having to respond to overdoses without the resources we needed. This emergency should not be downloaded on to drop in workers. The province needs to reopen Supervised Consumption Services

I used to respond to at least one overdose a week, sometimes two or three when I worked in a drop-in centre before supervised consumption sites were opened. They opened *because* we were crawling under bathroom stall doors to save lives. And now we're back to doing it again.

Trump signs order pushing cities and states to remove homeless people from streets. They'll be sent to treatment facilities that he won't fund and don't exist. usatoday.com/story/news/pol… via @usatoday

Trump's "Ending Vagrancy and Restoring Order" directs federal agencies to defund communities that don’t criminalize visible poverty — and reward those that do. It makes housing access contingent on "acceptable" behaviours. It defunds harm reduction. It will be deadly.
