@ShabbatSlalom @ESNParkdale @MayorOliviaChow @DianneSaxe That doesn’t mean that the influence and pressure those lobbying for a garden aren’t linked to the eviction. The garden itself being more an excuse to evict than the desire to actually use said garden.

City of Toronto putting up blocks of cement on the south side of the St Stephens encampment to prevent anyone from sleeping there. @MayorOliviaChow and @DianneSaxe's justification for this eviction, remember, was a "pollinator garden"

URGENT CALL A fire at the @stclare_housing-managed supportive housing building at 877 Yonge St. flooded units from the 12th to 2nd floor today. Residents—some elderly and disabled—are being told to spend the night with soaked belongings, water still leaking from ceilings.

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
Andrew Boozary MD@drandrewb

This is devastatingly cruel.

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.

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, @cityoftoronto ?

@Gruesomebrat I’m so so curious about this. As I can think of only three people housed from bond or Nova. This is what they should be giving us straight info on. And it’s in many ways also to their benefit, so even they could join on petitioning for more permanent housing to be on offer.

I'm less sure now, 1.5hrs later, that any of this can be considered efficient. Of 102 residents cleared from the Novotel, we see 61 moved to other shelters, 32 moved to new transitional shelter beds.** That only leaves 9 former residents housed, in a near-worst-case scenario*

I spent a great amount of effort over the summer setting up an Excel workbook that could take the City's shelter occupancy data and condense it into daily summaries that could be tracked through recent history. Skimming over that workbook this morning, I'm struck by something.
Gru@Gruesomebrat

@Homes_First I missed a day updating this thread but in the past 2 days, 18 Novotel residents have been taken off the rolls. This horrifying efficiency at displacing unhoused Torontonians is something to behold. In just 24 days, since Homes First issued their closure notice, 102 relocations.

Come the end of the month, I think it's safe to assume that many of those 83 "unavailable" beds will suddenly find themselves filled, just as "unavailable" rooms at shelter-hotels found themselves filled as the City evicted encampment residents with brutal police force...

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? ✊🏽

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

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)

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.
