please let this exact scene be playing out in real life

@JessicaKFoster Me too

I didn't want to take my tree down yet so I just de-Christmased it. It is now a winter tree and provides me with January whimsy. All the rules are made up. I'm an adult.

The COVID-19 pandemic drew many people to parks and other outdoor recreational spaces—it also exposed the deep divide between community members who were housed and their unhoused neighbours. Writers @grove_AnnaK and Jesse Upton Crowe explore: thewalrus.ca/covid-19-showe…

How do we get an @OC_Transpo bus down here to serve as a temporary warm spot to stay? Or tiny homes? We have a father and daughter in immediate need, a few single men and a couple of young ladies that need some respite. We have parking. @_MarkSutcliffe #freezing #housingcrisis

We need more of this. Even some of this in Ottawa.

@9_granny @NCC_CCN And the @NCC_CCN won’t confirm either. Wonder why? 😞

@highjinxottawa @NCC_CCN Councillor from College Ward unable to secure a location or identifiable information on this dismantling.

We’ve had 3 senior men’s encampments destroyed today by the @NCC_CCN without notice. All of their belongings were removed and trashed. In this cold. In this struggle. Our Neighbours were there 7 years and now feel so hopeless. Disgusting. #unhoused #wtf #coldhearted #helpushelp

@9_granny You are welcome to follow up with us directly or move over to our other platforms. This indeed happened, whether the NCC wants to confirm it or not. It’s important to discuss the injustice unhoused Neighbours face daily. #wecandobetter

@highjinxottawa Please provide this information on this platform. The Unsheltered task force needs more information.

We have a lengthy update regarding the four residents and Neighbours whom were removed from NCC land last week. Please see it on Facebook or Instagram. #housingcrisis #ottawa #nobullshithere

@peggy_blair Thank you for amplifying this for these men.

A realtor friend just advised me that the NCC just closed down an encampment and threw out all the belongings of the people who were living there. It's like -10 out. WTAF?? Who made that decision?She's off to buy some sleeping bags to deliver to HighJinx.

I was told today a man was found frozen to death in Ottawa this morning. In our nation’s capital, in one of the richest countries in the world, we continue to lose people every year to the winter by denying housing for all in favour of more costly/cruel approaches.
