@richrlm1 @LFPress @JackAtLFPress Most of the 30% tax hike for this city for 2024-27 are just to cover the costs of giving law enforcement that $672,000,000 budget increase, FYI.

@LFPress @JackAtLFPress Classic triangulation. Lay the problem at the feet of Federal Funding ( last I checked we pay taxes to both) while it’s developing charges, land transfers, municipal taxes and on and on … Give the people a break ffs. Lower fees and charges. I remember 0 tax increases!

London politicians are looking at using federal funding to bolster the city’s additional residential unit program. @JackAtLFPress reports: tinyurl.com/53ddxve5 #ldnont

@StevensonLDN Closing Carepoint makes the community less safe for everyone, but you know that. Would you rather a teenager respond to an OD on the street, or a trained professional inside an overdose prevention site respond? Stop lying to your constituents, Councillor. #ldnont

London, Ontario has a daycare and two high schools near the Carepoint supervised injection site. “It’s horrible” to “have to deal with this in a place where they should be safe”. #LdnOnt

@AM980News Yeah duh, the ON gov’t gave that public revenue away to businesses like Loblaw and Circle K.

Public revenue from alcohol sales drops in Ontario amid LCBO modernization globalnews.ca/news/11747396/…

@DNewcombeCTV Plus almost every other road in this city. How much has @CityofLdnOnt paid out to repair taxpayers’ flat tires & busted axels just in 2025?

@LFPress @JackAtLFPress Every time I see a new tax payer cost - like this $11M - it’ll always be in contrast to the extra $672M budget given to lps. #ldnont

It will cost nearly $11M to replace the soon-to-be decommissioned steam heating system at four civic buildings in downtown London. @JackAtLFPress has more: tinyurl.com/5xjsvdtz #ldnont

London politicians reject exploring a program that would cut stormwater and sewage emissions into the Thames River but could also cost homebuyers up to $10,000. @JackAtLFPress reports: tinyurl.com/ynvxmufd

@LFPress @BrianWatLFPress The cops support the “war on drugs”, you don’t say lol

The OACP is backing the Ontario government's shifting approach toward drug abuse and expressing concern about supervised drug use sites, which Queen's Park has announced it will no longer fund. @BrianWatLFPress reports: tinyurl.com/yvc89p55 #onpoli

@StevensonLDN Correct, this is the result of gov’t policy - it’s by design - so I know you’re not surprised at the results, Councillor. Maybe if we all got a 36% pay/support increase, things would be different. #ldnont

Sound familiar #ldnont? It’s really difficult for most residents to understand why City’s continue to follow the same policies - and act surprised at the results Even amidst increasing concern about financial challenges and safety Very little change thespec.com/news/hamilton-….

@StevensonLDN No politician is trustworthy. #ldnont city council should be ashamed to vote themselves a 36% pay increase, as just one example. #iwantmytaxdollarsback

What policies ensure #LdnOnt’s Council directions happen? “While [Langford, BC] council directed that a reserve be established in 2007, there is no record that such a fund was in fact set up,” said a report presented to council March 16” Read more at: goldstreamgazette.com/2026/03/20/evi…

@StevensonLDN Gatekeeping housing from folks who aren’t sober is social murder, Councillor. But you know that. #ldnont

“It’s such a failed system. Even if we do get them into treatment, there’s nothing when they get out” #LdnOnt needs to focus on Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care where people have access to affordable, safe, sober housing in our city. instagram.com/reel/DWEc7piDh…

@corruptario In #ldnont @MayorMorgan announced a “homebuyer incentive program” where taxpayers cover 50% of costs upfront for developers. And surely when they don’t sell, tax payers will also “buy them back” - not for RGI housing, but for more profit gouging. De-commodify housing now.

Bailing out the "developers" again. With your money.

@JackAtLFPress @LFPress @MayorMorgan @CityofLdnOnt No answer to this? Where is the nearly $900,000 in rent going? @StevensonLDN #ldnont

@JackAtLFPress @LFPress @MayorMorgan @CityofLdnOnt Thank you; what does “help support site operations” mean? Is the total operating cost $7M plus their monthly rent? Or is it $7M and then the rent goes against that cost?

City hall’s push to bring 60 micro-shelters for London’s homeless to a southeast farm field is moving ahead, with a draft site plan now in hand and a security firm selected to run it. @JackAtLFPress reports: tinyurl.com/6d2unday #ldnont

@CHCHNews @theemilyhwang HART Hubs don’t even offer needle exchange - these closures will fuel the healthcare crisis, and more people will contract HIV, HepC and/or die.

The government of Ontario announced this week it will cease funding for safe consumption sites that are in the same communities as their homeless and addiction recovery treatment hubs, also known as HART hubs. @theemilyhwang has the details. chch.com/chch-news/niag…

@deero_s @LFPress @JackAtLFPress Actually these sites have saved more than 22,000 lives, and that’s just in Ontario.

@LFPress @JackAtLFPress SHUT THEM ALL DOWN IMMEDIATELY........THEY DONT SAVE LIVES THEY MAKE THEM SUFFER MORE !..... .FUCKING MORONS

The looming end of provincial funding for London's supervised drug-use site, raises huge concerns for advocates of services like Carepoint. Join our live Q&A with @JackAtLFPress today at noon: tinyurl.com/yjap8h6y #ldnont

@fer87252150 @LFPress @JackAtLFPress Closeting supervised consumption sites makes the whole city an unsupervised consumption site - more public substance use, more HIV and HepC, and more fatal overdoses. These politicians are lying to you.

@LFPress @JackAtLFPress This is the greatest news for London in forever. So excited. Maybe we can drive down a street without the fear of hitting all these strung out drug addicts. And maybe all the losers that aren’t from London but are here for the free drugs will leave!

@LFPress Yes, it’s called healthcare. #ldnont #healthcareovercops

LETTERS: Should taxpayers continue supplying addicts with drug paraphernalia and illicit drugs to keep them from getting hepatitis and other diseases? lfpress.com/opinion/letter… #ldnont

@AM980News And then close supervised consumption sites; still no charges for the housed cops & politicians who do illegal drugs tho.

New provincial offence for public drug use gives officers ‘more options,’ police say globalnews.ca/news/11736600/…

@StevensonLDN Stop lying about harm reduction, Councillor. When the province “invested almost $550 million to support 28 HART Hubs across Ontario” and #ldnont city council gave an extra $672,000,000 to one, local law enforcement, we see exactly what your priorities are - it’s not saving lives.

These are excerpts of only my comments, you can find the full article online. This is a very important part of a much bigger and much needed discussion in #LdnOnt. When will our City abandon the failed and radicalized Harm Reduction Model for the provincially endorsed Recovery Model? More and more Londoners are saying “enough is enough” when it comes to the prevalence of illegal drug use. Our City faces the increasingly devastating impacts on businesses, neighbourhood parks, overall public safety and the lives of those living and working in our social housing and shelter system. Not to mention the taxpayers who cannot afford the soaring financial costs of constant damages, loss and enforcement - all seemingly without meaningful results (as we seem to just be chasing our tail)….

@JulesWinn010 It’s not cynicism, it’s a fact.

@BerniceC @somethingcl3ver @StevensonLDN I struggle with cynicism too. Big pharma profits off hydromorphone and methadone thanks to policy-driven demand from safer supply programs, while politicians get votes with the "compassionate" framing that convinces people it's helping. It's not helping. Time for change.

All $$ for supervised consumption sites in Ontario will end June 13, 2026 This is welcome news for Londoners who live, work or own property near our site (Carepoint 446 York St) It’s time for #LdnOnt to focus on recovery!!! It’s time for much needed change! #Hope #Recovery Funding will be redirected to 28 new HART hubs, which will focus on treatment and rehabilitation but will not provide supervised consumption, needle exchange, or "safe supply" services. The final step in this government's transition away from harm reduction services toward an abstinence-based treatment model known as Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) hubs.
