Oh, look, it **is** possible for reporters to talk to currently homeless, unsheltered individuals...
'I'll die. I know I will': Homeless struggling to survive deep freeze. Reporter visits encampment to see how people are getting through these frigid nights; 'there’s no surviving out here, not unless you build a house,' says man.

12 Ontario Mayors are formally requesting that @fordnation invoke the notwithstanding clause to suspend encampment residents' Charter-protected rights so that they can be removed from encampments. The letter cites the Grants Pass Supreme Court decision in the U.S., which allows

Police pushed the crowd off the sidewalk into active traffic, pepper sprayed liberally, punched or elbowed multiple women in the face, tackled and arrested someone they had pushed into another officer, and lots more, according to videos and interviews.

Another $3.5billion for Israel so more weapons can be bought to bomb Gaza. How ‘progressive’.
🇵🇸 #Palestine - 🇮🇱 #Israel: The #UnitedStates has released $3.5 billion for the IDF to spend on American weapons and equipment as part of the US’s Foreign Military Financing program. The money will reportedly be drawn from the $14.1 billion funding bill for Israel passed in

I work in a homeless drop-in centre with absolutely no city funding, including for the 2,000+ meals we serve every month. Meanwhile, city funds are being wasted on extraneous purposes — AirPods for police — that help absolutely no one. Infuriating.

Nothing to see here. Just NATO’s 2nd largest army and its proxy forces burning food as a weapon of war. #DefendRojava
Harvest time had begun in Northern and Eastern Syria. As every year, the Turkish state and its mercenaries set fire to cultivated areas in many areas. Mercenary groups affiliated with the Turkish state set fire to the fields in the border areas in the rural areas of Manbij

I just checked the website for this building and the largest two bedroom with a price listed is 895 sq ft for almost $3300 a month Does being a low or middle income Canadian mean you can put $40K a year into a tiny rental?
We’re building more homes, faster, right across the country — and it was great to visit one new example in Victoria, BC, with beautiful new apartments for low and middle income Canadians. Check it out!

The expectation that the private sector will deliver #AffordableHousing with the “right” economic incentives falls flat every time. Here’s a new development in TO’s inner suburbs where @cityoftoronto invested $6.5M through its Open Doors program for “affordable” seniors’ housing:

Breaking: In just the first 3 months of Israel's war in Gaza, Canada approved a whopping $28.5M in military exports to Israel. @melaniejoly has been deliberately misleading the public in claiming that Canada hasn’t sent weapons to Israel since Oct. 7 https://t.co/OjOuV4swuU

Ontario just circumvented democracy and subverted every applicable piece of legislation in order to gift precious public lands, with an irreplaceable waterfront ecosystem, to a cookie-cutter German luxury spa with mysterious, possibly dubious sources of capital funding.
