There needs to be a serious investigation into @fordnation and the DeGasperis family. #onpoli
Want to talk about the OSC again? DeGasperis is getting the land. He's already developed the red parcel. Doug added the "OSC" stop to the Ontario Line right after DeGasperis closed on it. Bait and switch. Doug has ended conservation authorities so he can give away the land.

📢‼️RENT 2 HIGH, NO AGI‼️📢 Did you get a 5.5% raise this year? Did your pension go up that much? Then why is the rent?! Tenants at 25 Richview and neighbouring buildings in Etobicoke came out to say NO to H&R Property Management’s unfair Above Guideline Increase on Sunday. 🧵

One of our members said “I was beaten by security for sleeping inside. I was at the GO Station washroom, and they dragged me through piss."  Please join us on Tuesday, May 26 at 10am, rally against FIFA-related security escalations at Berczy Park 35 Wellington Street.

Replying to @SHJNetwork
They know how unreliable the transit is, so if they need to get to another station, bikes would actually be faster.

Does anyone know why the TTC Special Constables now have bikes? Are they planning to chase people down through the subway tunnels with them? Race after a TTC bus with them? Seriously confused here. #TTC

This is correct. Today I passed by two encampments in plain site that are using non tent structures. I won’t say more as it would identify them.
Homelessness has increased, however. So a decrease in encampments just means they've moved elsewhere. Slight of hand crisis management.

1. Why is the city still using bunk beds in its shelters??? Bunk beds aren’t accessible and they ensure that people don’t have adequate private space in congregate shelters. 2. It is clear that Seaton House has empty floors. Why is this? Does the city plan to shut down Seaton…

House this year? If so, where will the 400-500 residents go? 3. How will the city work more diligently to ensure there aren’t more fires at shelters? Shelters are supposed to be safe indoor alternatives to tents outside according to city comms.
