Ottawa police's response to the Freedom Convoy showed Canada what locals have known for years: cops favour the powerful. @SampheBrule looks at Ottawa's #defund campaign—and the potential for next fall’s municipal election to be a game-changer. breachmedia.ca/what-better-ti…

Preparing for an job interview is labour and candidates may even have to take time off work to attend an interview. I'm pleased to share that @FoodShareTO will now be compensating folks ($75) for their interviews (approx. 1 hr) to join our team. 1/2

I lobbied for 1 single porta-pottie for Hintonburg at the onset of covid because so many businesses had to stop allowing the public to access theirs. And they denied my request due to budgetary constraints. Cool cool

I've been to many protests in #Ottawa and never have I seen the @OttawaPolice post a graphic like this on their social media before any of them Seems like the only "safe space" they're interested in providing is one for the same system that upholds their power: White supremacy.

"Kayla has also created a documentary titled, “My Dad, Ian: How the Covid-19 Pandemic Affected the Pre-existing Opioid Epidemic in Canada,” which can be found on Youtube." youtu.be/vlSLBfO6q4Q 5/5

I created this video for @CPEP at the end of 2021 & am excited to be sharing it. “Kayla Hagerty is a beloved CPEP member, community organizer, researcher, and talented literary artist who has come to know the profound violence of the carceral state on a very personal level.” 1/5

@OttawaPolice once again making it clear they don’t answer to their community. @dianedeans @rawlsonking @MeehanCarolAnne

@CPEPgroup along with our friends from the #KeepSouheilHome campaign are fighting against criminalization & incarceration, as well as the illegalization of our comrade through the immigration system. Read more about how you can contribute to this struggle: springmag.ca/keepsouheilhom…

What would it look like to actually #defundthepolice? Halifax community advocates just released the most ambitious blueprint in Canada to divest police budgets and reinvest in community services. Co-author @tariajadi says we can “imagine public safety beyond enforcement.”

Your friends at the Parkdale Food Centre request the pleasure of your company this Friday, October 8th at Parkdale Park from 6 PM to 8 PM! Join us to celebrate the grand opening of our Good Food Grocery Program at 5 Hamilton Avenue North.

In normal times the offer of free public transit for a month by the city’s mayor might be something for the city’s denizens to celebrate. But with the #LRT’s most recent (derailment) debacle some may consider @JimWatsonOttawa’s pledge an act of desperation and even distraction.

How about October and November AND December and then just #FreeTransit?

This is 100% FREE for all students and families thanks to an amazing partner who I’ll announce tomorrow. It will be restocked every week and featured a hygiene and clothing closet too. 67% of the children live in poverty - the principal has told me this is life for his students.
