Heard that Michael Polowin is set to be appointed as a new member of the @OttawaPolice Board. He is well known for conflating criticism of Israel as antisemitism (as can be seen below). He also notably served as the lawyer for Timbercreek during the Heron Gate mass evictions.

#Ottawa "community leader" Michael Polowin once again proving that he's a class act. Proud of the work I've done with folks across this city fighting antisemitism and other forms of hate caused by growing bigotry and white supremacy and will continue to do so.

There's a lot of talk in Winnipeg about body cams, especially in the wake of the WPS killing of Jordan Charlie and the Manitoba RCMP's rollout of them. In this new blog post, we examine the evidence on body cams and present five reasons to oppose them. winnipegpolicecauseharm.org/blog/do-body-c…

I just want people to understand that despite all the right-wing propaganda, literally NO ONE has died of an overdose at a safe consumption site in Canada because they do exactly what they're supposed to do - prevent overdose deaths. Without them, people will die.

One thing I'm left with at the end of @occupyuoft: the failure of media to engage with what actually happened there, and the likely inability now to accurately summarize or thoughtfully reflect on what happened, because there was so little curiosity to begin with

New blog post: Contrary to claims that the new transit security force exists to improve "safety," early data shows some of its top responses involve displacing "sleepers" and "substance abusers," as well as conducting detentions, searches, and seizures winnipegpolicecauseharm.org/blog/transit-s…

this is exactly why every struggle for love, freedom, and justice has to also be an abolitionist struggle: the cops will be called in against you. This is what it means to fund the police

The recent closures of safe injection sites in so-called Ottawa have left a significant gap in harm reduction services, posing a grave risk to PWUD in our community. 1/3

A community member reached out to every service provider mentioned by @PlanteSteph613. This was in response to the pushback Plante received for her harmful suggestions advocating for fear-based "prevention" through voyeurism tours to encampments and safe consumption sites. /1
Stéphanie Plante 🇨🇦🇨🇭@PlanteSteph613

@Sam_McAleese @JustinPicheh @ottawacity There are very caring people who work at OICH, SHCHC, The Mission, Belong Ottawa, the Soul Space collective etc. They are overworked and underpaid. Why not take their suggestion seriously?

Don’t want to send love letters to violence workers? Send @SherriLRollins an email demanding an apology for mocking police violence. Police are violent abusers who kill & gaslight. Conversations about safety cannot be had w/cops, they need to be had about how cops make us unsafe.
