It’s heartbreaking to learn that Alaska reported a 45% rise in toxic drug overdose deaths year-over-year. Conservatives won’t blame Democrats for failed policy, because it’s a Republican State. They can’t blame “safe supply or decrim” because they don’t implement those policies.

If you have a little extra to spare this week, pls consider helping a member of our community, @CJMELondon, retain his housing & receive much-needed medical support. We all need to know we’re not alone when we’re hit with sudden challenges in life: gofund.me/9d2f4196 #ldnont

This tweet provides real insight into Susan's beliefs. For her, it's a battle between the "haves" and the "have nots". She sees people experiencing poverty as an inconvenient mess that needs to be cleaned up. Success in Susan's mind is the old adage: "Out of sight. Out of mind"

$672 million for police to reactively ‘clean up’ encampments? Push them down the road you mean, solving nothing for anyone. This is the vision @CityofLdnOnt?Increased criminalization & harm to folx already marginalized by systems of oppression? Where are they supposed to go?

One thing we don’t highlight enough, is how the average person is one misfortune away from being unhoused and surviving the streets. If we did, we’d be a little more empathetic, and demand more from our elected officials. Especially a certain one in #ldnont.
When people who hate marginalized folks trot out the word "respect" (like respecting property, respecting taxpayers, respecting our awful councillor), they mean that second thing. When compassionate people use the term "respect," they mean the first. This disjunct means so much.
Where did the people go? Evicting people from their tents is NOT a solution to homelessness unless they were all placed in safe/affordable/supportive housing. Were they @CityofLdnOnt ?

The harsh reality is, encampments exist because we don’t have the services required to “fix” issue. By “cleaning” up an encampment means you are just pushing them somewhere else out of sight for now. It’s gross to be bragging about this. #ldnont
Its absolutely inhumane and disgusting to see a sitting city councillor gloat about kicking our unhoused neighbours around again. Its just another example of this councillors want to continue to abuse them. Where should they go that is "acceptable"? they have nowhere.

Another example of London is not paying enough for planners. Cornwall is hiring a Planning Supervisor for $104-117k per year, while London is still trying to hire at $61-89k for functionally the same role. Cornwall: atlas.workland.com/work/37639/sup… London: careers.london.ca/job/London-Sen…

Government are in the midst of a housing and affordability crisis. Rather than fix it, they wanna scapegoat drug users. Whether it's street sweeps, decampments or bans on public drug use, this is all about that old desire to ban poor people from sight.

I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. Re-criminalizing using drugs outside is re-criminalizing drug use for poor people. Drug use was de facto legal for rich people already, before decrim in BC. This restores the status quo.

THANK YOU @CityofLdnOnt @lpsmediaoffice and everyone else who played a role in the encampment clean-ups that happened this Thursday & Friday in the #OEV municipal parking lots and on sidewalks. I received so many messages of gratitude!! You made a difference & brought hope.
These are legitimate questions. I would confidently wager those living in the encampment weren’t miraculously housed with wrap around services and a happily-ever after ending. I’d also confidently wager the same people don’t have a tent in this rain. What are we doing?
Councillor @StevensonLDN can you please comment on: - where were the humans who lived in these tents forcibly re-located to? - were these humans asked for consent in their re-location? Was discussion about the safety of the people living in these tents had with the people…
Fun sleepover with my daughter's mini-me this weekend! Uncanny, it's like watching my daughter grow up all over again, I'm so lucky! This cute unicorn recently celebrated her 8th birthday *mind blown* :-)
