Kensington-Bellwoods Community Legal Services

In 2024, @fordnation appointed two of his former staffers to Ontario’s Judicial Appointments Advisory Committee (JAAC), which shortlists candidates for appointment as provincial judges. He's already politicizing the provincial judiciary process. This is one step further.

... and don't be fooled: this isn't about addressing crime. In ON, 80% of inmates haven't gone to trial. 56% of criminal cases are ending with charges being tossed. People — including innocent people — are being punished without a conviction AND victims aren't getting justice.

The decision to defund #SupervisedConsumptionSites across Ontario puts lives at risk. We see every day how these services provide safety, dignity, and connection to care. Closing them doesn’t end substance use - it removes support. @FredVictorTO @SRiverdaleCHC

Despite months of pushback from faith leaders, civil liberties organizations, and legal experts, the government has moved Bill C-9 forward by passing it through the committee and to parliament without meaningfully addressing the substantive concerns raised by Muslim communities and other stakeholders. #cdnpoli toronto.citynews.ca/2026/03/12/ott…

With the passing of Bill 60, @fordnation has given itself broad regulatory powers that allow for the privatization of water and wastewater without legislative debate. I'm old enough to remember Walkerton. Our water — our health — isn't for sale. thetrillium.ca/news/municipal…

The defining characteristic of @fordnation, besides his unending obsession with Toronto and its waterfront, is his systematic overriding of transparency and meaningful consultation. He continually imposes his will on communities and people without evidence or input.

This is a nuclear bomb to Ontario's democracy. @fordnation wants to obfuscate absolutely everything it does.

My latest for @TorontoStar. Increasing surveillance and extending police powers doesn’t solve homelessness or drug use on transit — it merely opens up the broader public to arbitrary punishment, including the potential for jail time and $10,000 fines. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Allan Rock, former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada and former Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations, and Ratna Omidvar @ratnaomi, former Canadian Senator have publicly objected to Bill C-12 in a joint op-ed published in @TheHillTimes “Most Canadians expect the government to fix the immigration system. Long processing delays and growing backlogs have created a widespread perception that the system is under strain. Public concern is legitimate. But reforms must not come at the expense of vulnerable people, nor at the cost of the rule of law that underpins public confidence in government” It is time for the senate to do the same.

My analysis for @ccpa shows that arguments about immigration and "supply shortages" cannot explain housing inflation in Canada. #cdnpoli #housing #financialization policyalternatives.ca/news-research/…
