I cannot stress enough that homelessness is caused by policy levers primarily at the provincial level. And @AMOPolicy's new report shows it: homelessness in Ontario rose 8% last year, with 85,000 people becoming homeless. 20,000 were youth and children. globalnews.ca/news/11611244/…
This is vitally important. In 2023, a legal precedent was set in Waterloo that an encampment cannot be evicted without offering appropriate and truly accessible shelter to an encampment resident. The City of Barrie is violating the law, and this eviction notice is illegal.
Illegal eviction "Notice". The Ontario Emergency Management & Civil Protection Act is subordinate to the Canadian Charter of Rights, under which the caselaw requires that the city not evict unless first offered truly accessible accommodation. Not offered here. @AlexFromBarrie…
This is such a clear, well-articulated, trenchant thread in support of providing unhoused people with HOMES, not merely a "roof over their heads" or dangerous, violent shelters.
Importantly, but untested, is that if people's trauma is directly in relation to their experiences in the shelter system, then reasonably no offer of shelter can be considered "truly accessible." Housing can be the only adequate remedy in this situation. /2
Parks aren't just for families — they're public spaces in which human rights should thrive. At the same time, we can't enact a truly human rights-compliant approach to encampments without intergovernmental resources in support of human rights, i.e. housing cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
As shocking as it is that children are participating in the assault and murder of homeless people, it isn't the first time in Toronto. Violent rhetoric against homeless people begets real-life violence — what are we instilling in young minds? Devastating. thestar.com/news/gta/man-1…

'Without an adequate system in place, people will continue to fall through the cracks,' says RNAO chief executive officer
Repeat, ad nauseum: homelessness is a solvable social issue. But until we treat it as such, governments — like that of Barrie — will continue to frame it as both criminal and intractable. We will continue to hate homeless people instead of homelessness. thestar.com/news/ontario/b…

After the City of Barrie declared an emergency on homelessness, one former Councillor is speaking out. @KeenanAylwin tells @MooreintheAM that "true safety comes from support and housing," but unfortunately all 3 levels of government have gotten out of providing affording housing.
“I see the mayor blaming people who are experiencing homelessness... that’s a political strategy to pit people against each other, to blame some of the most vulnerable people in our community for what is really a policy failure on all levels.”

Ford wants to take over trustee boards. He devised of undemocratic 'Strong Mayor' powers to undermine municipal Councils. He cut @cityoftoronto's Council in half mid-election. His goal is to consolidate power in his hands and undermine our local democracies. Full stop.
ICYMI - Minister Calandra said the quiet part out loud, sharing that the PCs are looking to eliminate ALL trustees. Calandra has taken over 5 of Ontario's biggest boards and now wants to have control over every single board 🙄 But don't let this distract from the truth: the PCs…
This is dire, @fordnation: The unemployment rate has risen to 7.8% in Ontario. Over 700,000 Ontarians are unemployed. Ontario has lost 56,600 full-time positions, primarily in the private sector (-30,100). ... and our economic growth is predicted to slow to just 0.6% in 2025.
Today the @infoFAO released a report that provides an overview of the latest trends in the Ontario economy. #onpoli #ontariobudget Link to report: bit.ly/4mQzZ3Z
An important update for all of Ontario re: homelessness: the Superior Court has ruled in favour of encampment residents in Waterloo Region. The Region is restrained from enforcing a by-law to clear an encampment until the constitutionality of the by-law can be determined.
👍The Court has granted an injunction for the 100Vic Encampment Case! The Region is restrained from enforcing its Site-Specific By-law until the constitutionality of the bylaw can be determined following the hearing in November. Read the decision at: wrcls.ca/3878-2
In June 2023, Toronto saw 1,000s of refugees — almost all of them African — stranded on our streets. Our local Liberal MPs refused to fund their fare share for their shelter until February 2024 — eight months later. If refugee funding gets cut, mass homelessness will result.
#StarExclusive: Olivia Chow says Mark Carney’s government is set to “walk away” from its duty to house refugee claimants, warning that a new federal funding formula would leave Toronto $100 million short on shelter costs for asylum seekers this year. trib.al/N42DBzT
Rogers made $5.2 BILLION last quarter. They own the Leafs, the Raptors, and luxury boxes. But when 25 Fraser Valley techs ask for fair wages? They say no. This isn’t just a contract fight — it’s people vs. profit. 1/2 #FairPayNow #USW1944 #Solidarity

Flight attendants at Air Canada have shown workers acting in solidarity can defy a crackdown on their rights—and strike for a better deal, including ending unpaid work. As Carney prepares major cuts and attacks on public sector workers, it’s a model for bold labour action.
CUPE flight attendants defied a Section 107 back-to-work order, forced #AirCanada back to the bargaining table, and successfully bargained a tentative agreement. A new page of Canadian labour history has been written today. cbc.ca/player/play/vi… #cndpoli #canlab
