To be clear, I got a security guard fired for harassing an encampment that was already being targeted by assholes, such as the pair who fired PAINT BALL GUNS at them in the middle of the night, and whose residents just experienced an encampment fire.
The security company has not returned.
Mr. WhatAreYaGonnaDoAboutIt just gave me the tools to do it with.
Until there are better systems in place, sometimes you just have to work with what you're given.

Last night's disruption at the Landlord Awards Ceremony (ridiculous fucking idea) at the MTCC, was masterful.
Landlords don't "create" housing.
They steal it.Imagine a bunch of parasites patting themselves on the backs for doing that.

Incandescent.
The City pretended to be negotiating with the residents of the encampment at Dufferin Grove Park, only to execute one of the worst clearings yet, this morning.Have some things to say later.
Right now it's just support mode.#Toronto #PoliceDontKeepUsSafe #HousingIsAHumanRight #HousingForAll #HousingNow

Today in Jesus fucking Christ I hope your house burns to the ground:
The housed residents around this encampment apparently came up with a suggestion to CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES in this park so that the unhoused people had no shade and would have to leave.
Up early doing #CommunityDefence which doesn't involve arson.
Edited because voice-text and too tired to proofread. Expect some very specific ranting later today.

Also, if you're near Dufferin Grove Park, the City is up to its malicious mischief again.
Cat-snatching motherfuckers.

Motherfuckers.
❝
The Safer Municipalities Act will, if passed, put protecting the safety of all residents first by helping clear public spaces and end the public use of illegal drugs.“We have heard loud and clear from the people of Ontario: They want their parks and public spaces to be protected and safe for everyone to enjoy,” said Rob Flack, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “Municipal leaders have asked for more tools and support to end encampments and public illegal drug use, and we will do whatever is necessary to help municipalities get the job done and help those facing addiction and mental health challenges."

Sad to be missing out on this, but bordering on burnout and still getting my body (my Achilles tendons, specifically) back used to marching in summer shoes. We have OH reps on site though, as we ramp up for another summer of state violence.
So it's a Saturday of gardening and recovery for me.
Also, maybe a little prepping for hijinks.
There are always hijinks in the works.#HousingIsAHumanRight #HousingForAll #HousingNow #Toronto #TorontoActivists

The fact they're doing this METRES AWAY FROM THE LITERAL HOMELESS MEMORIAL is disgusting as shit.
In about 15 mins I have to dip briefly for a protest (there are 2 other LOs here rn), but the residents have approved the callout for more bodies on the ground for the pending clearing that the motherfuckers absolutely confirmed is happening.
Unfriendly reminder that at St Stephen's, the motherfuckers waited us out and didn't do THAT clearing until night.
Apparently, the City needs the park empty to "repair the grass and fix the paving stones".
Fuck everything.

And back in the city in time for... an encampment clearing.
Imagine making $107,000/year ripping down people's meagre shelters and stealing their few belongings. That's the lowest salary among these assholes.
Also, Kyle (in the blue, running away) would like it known that he is "uncomfortable" with people filming him as he lies to encampment residents about the likelihood of being housed, and threatening them.
And yeah, they have the public order unit chilling on standby.

Stay tuned for a tale of disenfranchisement.
As I just reminded the group:
The system isn't "broken". It was built this way.We need to remember that when we "fail" to jump through "enough" of the needless hoops to accomplish what we are NOT MEANT TO ACCOMPLISH.
in fact, we are MEANT TO NOT ACCOMPLISH thise tasks.
It is arcane, cruel, and INTENTIONAL.You didn't fail to achieve that thing.
They absolutely did not intend for you to achieve it. -
Meanwhile, in #Canada...
From 2023: #TwoSpirit organization funded to build first transitional housing project in #HalifaxNovaScotia
Sara Gouda - CKDU - Halifax • NS | 06-04-2023
"The #WabanakiTwoSpiritAlliance has received government funding to build and manage the first two-spirit transitional housing project in Halifax.
"'It is the first housing to be built for two-spirit people, but I can tell you, it won't be the last,' said Tuma Young, two-spirit Mi'kmaw lawyer from #Membertou and co-founder of the Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance.
"Two-spirit, a term coined back in the late 1980s, is used to describe #LGBTQ+ plus members who are #Indigenous.
"'The priority is for Two-spirit people. I'm not at liberty to say how much funding we received because the details are still being worked out. We are building a transitional home that's between six and eight units,' said Young.
"The new housing development is part of Canada's National Housing Strategy. Young said that ensuring housing is a major issue due to policy issues, jurisdictional issues, and funding issues.
"The new project will take about six months to a year to develop and operate, and Young said that the alliance is still looking for land to build its units on.
"'As the organization's other co-founder mentioned, the irony doesn't escape me that we're asking for land.'
"Young hopes they will be able to build their first transitional project for Two-spirit people in Halifax, but if no land is available, the project would be in nearby areas such as Dartmouth, Sackville, Hammonds Plains or Eastern Passage.
"'Housing is such a major issue, we're also looking at some #SeniorHousing for LGBTQ+ folks. I'm also looking towards the future of housing and how we can get housing in reserves where I know a lot of two-spirited people without access because they were never even placed on the housing allocation list,' said Young.
"Young said that housing options often go to families, while two-spirit people are often single or don't have children, and that the real culprit is not the allocation of resources but the fact that more resources are required to provide housing for all in need.
"'For example, per community, they may get about 10 houses per year, but the need is actually 400. So with those 10 houses, people have to pick a priority of who will get them. And for a lot of two-spirit people, they will never be able to be on their priority list because there'll always be somebody who will need a house more,' said Young.
"Better ways to delegate resources among the #FirstNations communities would be to collaborate with all three levels of government, to identify housing as a priority and find ways to allocate limited resources, according to Young.
"'When housing is done properly, fairly, equally, and #equitably, then everybody gets a chance at housing,' said Young."

Doing encampment support really drives home just how much those who have the least share the most.
Probably shouldn't be eating cake pops for breakfast, but what the hell.

The Case for More Housing: Shaping Sustainable Communities
Our neighborhoods are evolving, and the choices we make today about housing and development will define our community’s future. By embracing forward-thinking policies and higher-density housing, we can address the housing crisis, reduce commutes, and create vibrant, sustainable communities. Imagine neighborhoods where homes are closer to jobs and schools, businesses flourish with increased foot traffic, and public spaces become greener and more accessible. Let’s move beyond division and commit to a shared vision of inclusivity and progress—one that benefits everyone.

Endlessly shitty how many people want to talk ABOUT unhoused people, rather than TO unhoused people.
Also, I wonder if the Antifa Turkey #CAHNspiracy was solved, or if the creepers managed to get enough conflict to get their Xitter cheque this month.

Couldn't have asked for a lovelier day to do some winterizing at an encampment.
Today's project:
Fire deflector.The heat from fire pits is mostly lost because it goes straight up. A simple combination of threaded rods, nuts, and a pizza pan can make a world of difference to those relying on it to LITERALLY STAY ALIVE.
FUCK I HATE CAPITALISM.
This cost me about $22 and 15 minutes with a friend, not $299.
-
This time of year is really difficult to be unhoused, not that it's ever easy.
This is ALL THE RESULT OF POLICY CHOICES.
Anyway, I am blessed enough to have a warm bed to go to, and I am going to try not to go to it while raging at the sheer obstinate, disgusting, selfishness that is capitalism.
*Tip: Reflectix or the generic equivalent (the kind I have to drop off is "Resisto") is very helpful in reducing conductive heat loss when sleeping on the ground.
If you find some on sale, grab a roll and help a human being out.

Some days really just take it out of you.
Been trying to get a replacement tent for someone who lost it all in a fire, only to find out that the person has second snd third degree burns and won't be there tonight as a result.
I really wish the right people (in this context) would spend 5 fucking minutes pondering the shitshow that is society and how precarious it is for MOST OF US.
Honestly.
So much of this could be fixed if only people weren't walking around with blinders on 24/7.I wish I knew how to get people to give up their core need to only "allow" things to be "fixed" as long as nothing actually changes.
-
Urgh.
I promised fun video of tonight's cop nonsense, but something infinitely more pressing came up.
The last tiny house in Toronto has been stolen by City workers.
That's right.
The first deep cold snap of the year and the City's out there stealing people's shelters.More to come.

Edit: It's up to 13 now. Add Guelph.

We are seriously going to have to start eating these motherfuckers soon.

This is 💯 an example of why building more homes is not the answer, if you just let speculators and billionaires buy them up, and let them sit empty.
We do not need to let developers at the greenbelt. We don't even need more condos in downtown Toronto.
We need to stop people from fucking hoarding housing.

Losing the roof over your head could reduce your lifespan by 17 years.That’s the takeaway from a new study published Friday, which warns that the gap between life expectancies for housed versus homeless Torontonians has only been growing, and is especially pronounced for younger generations.
It’s a gap that persists even after accounting for the outsized toll of substance use and other mental health-related challenges within the city’s homeless population, said researcher Lucie Richard with Unity Health’s MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions.
❞Meanwhile, City workers like Belinda Batista, whose job is displacing the unhoused with no actual solutions, live well on the sunshine list for facilitating death. Not an exaggeration.

*Related to my post from yesterday.
#BCNDP's #HousingHub program is coming under #scrutiny after one #TaxpayerSubsidized #RentalBuilding in #Vancouver's #Kitsilano neighbourhood, touted as "affordable", is now listing units for $2,600 per month for a studio & $4,200 per month for a 2 bedroom unit.
The listed #RentalPrices are well above provincial #AffordableHousing thresholds & one #housing #researcher says it's an example of how difficult it is to build #AffordableRental buildings when market prices are so far beyond what average #renters can afford.
The leader of the #BCGreenParty called it an "infuriating" #misuse of #TaxpayerDollars.
The #BCNDPgovernment provided a $31.8 million #LowInterestLoan to Vancouver developer #JamesonDevelopmentCorp. for the 68-unit rental building through the HousingHub program, which is aimed at providing housing to middle-income renters shut out of the real estate market.
#BCPremier #DavidEby, who was the minister -responsible for housing at the time, was quoted in a December 2021 government news release announcing the project.
"Our government is investing in more affordable housing for people who work and live in Vancouver, and throughout B.C." he said.
The building at 1807 Larch St., called the L2, is set to be complete next month & is now advertising units.
According to the building's website, a 400-square foot studio apartment starts at $2,599 a month & a 840-square foot two-bedroom, two-bath unit is listed for $4,299 a month.
