Paying more attention to the health and social benefits of libraries is overdue. Libraries aren't just repositories for books,📚 they're essential social infrastructure, by @picardonhealth theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl… via @GlobeDebate @CANURB #sdoh

So sad to hear that Metroland will be shutting down the printed versions of 70+ Ontario weekly papers. This is a policy failure, and we all saw it coming from miles away.

The international students thing is such a scandal. We've decided to fund higher ed by selling kids overseas better odds at permanent residency, creating a huge, precarious workforce in the process. I wrote about it 2 years ago, and it's only gotten worse. thewalrus.ca/the-shadowy-bu…

In a field of 17 candidates, I came 8th. And for the second time in three years, I beat UKIP and Piers Corbyn in a democratic election. If that’s not a sign of hope, nothing is.

You want it, we got it: more municipal politics coverage is coming your way from The Local. Tune in for our bi-weekly column on Olivia Chow's first months as mayor, and the biggest issues and decisions at city hall.

The Local is launching a city hall column! Every 2 weeks for the first 100 days of Olivia Chow’s tenure as Toronto mayor, @neville_park will bring you insight from the city council floor, spotlighting key issues and motions. This week: shelters & housing. thelocal.to/olivia-chow-to…

“Instead, policymakers at all levels are allowing corporations to get away with their own opportunism, siphoning more of workers hard earned cash for their own bank accounts.”

#Opinion: Interest rates can’t fix housing costs and they won’t take one bite out of food inflation. So why is the Bank of Canada continuing down this path? trib.al/XsfGCjm

The Neighbourhood Land Trust has been snapping up buildings across Toronto, taking them off the market and into the community. Over 200 units later, they say they’re ready to do much more. thelocal.to/neighbourhood-…

Good Morning #Toronto, I hope everyone is going out to vote, and encouraging their communities to go out and vote - we have an opportunity here, a chance to dismantle and rebuild the system to finally work for us too. Find a poll near you, bring ID & vote. #TOpoli #TorontoMayor

#Toronto, This election let's vote for us, let's stop looking for saviours, and take matters into our own hands. Every candidate down to Olivia Chow, cannot tell you what the day to day life of a poor person in this city is like. My lived experience makes a difference. #TOpoli

Semi-regular reminder that I’m always looking for pitches for @TheLocal_TO. We write about social issues in Toronto—housing, health care, labour, education, etc. We love long-form features, personal essays, data stories, weird experiments. I'm [email protected]
