It is still not safe in shelters for homeless people when it comes to COVID. 60% of ppl in shelters have had one dose, 45% 2. This is much lower than the overall City stats where 85% of ppl over 18 have had one dose, 65% 2. I’d like to know the uptake of the workers in shelters.
Superintendent Joanna Beaven-Desjardins is in charge of the emergency management of the encampments. She is in charge of the police operations. When the City put her in charge, they doubled down on enforcement of encampments in a global pandemic during a housing crisis.

Toronto's Mayor just said that the violence at Lamport Stadium 2 days ago was caused by protestors. But...it is well documented that hundreds of police, horses & security surrounded encampment residents at 6 AM...when NO protestors were present. The gaslighting is unreal!
It's hard to put into words the horror of watching our community members being violently displacement from encampments; tending to tons of injuries from police brutality; and then watching the police and Tory spin their stories
G20, murdering our black & Indigenous kin, policing our kids, beating, crushing the lives of residents, the unhoused as we demand our community be treated with dignity with OUR tax dollars Toronto gives away to corporations, billionaires & elites. Enough. #DefundThePolice #topoli
when people say "there's no community in toronto," lately, i get disappointed. there is community here. they're the ones showing up, endlessly, to defend lamport stadium, alexandria park, etc. if it's not at the function go to your local protest because this city is under fire.
Trinity Bellwoods, Alexandra Park, Lamport Stadium all in @joe_cressy ward. You would think he would be the loudest opposing this operative. Yesterday -crickets. Do we need to do pop up vaccine clinics to have his attention? Ppl supporting encampment residents work those too.
HEY! Officer spray-yourself-in-the-face, you good? Need some baby wipes or soup? It’s ok. It should stop burning sometime today while you’re enjoying your medical leave, courtesy of the community you’re brutalizing’s tax dollars

@StephenPunwasi "These things happen.." When government convinces citizens that the poorest among them is the enemy. When they justify starving disabled people When they won't give enough to last while people who can work, find jobs. When we ignore the truth, sitting right in front of us.
Over the last 48 hours, the City of Toronto conducted 2 paramilitary operations. Sent hundreds of police. Intimidated with horses. Surveilled with drones...Just to remove 43 people living in parks, with nowhere safe to go. Make no mistake: This is warfare on the poor.
Biggest gap in the encampment evictions? @JohnTory makes NO call for emergency federal $$$ to house people. Why? He’s too busy doing press conferences with @JustinTrudeau @HonAhmedHussen @TOAdamVaughan thanking them for $$ for ‘affordable’ hsg that is not rent geared to income.

Trinity Bellwoods, Alexandra Park, Lamport Stadium all in @joe_cressy ward. You would think he would be the loudest opposing this operative. Yesterday -crickets. Do we need to do pop up vaccine clinics to have his attention? Ppl supporting encampment residents work those too.
I personally witnessed and took video of this officer being treated. He was being razzed by his fellow officers. It certainly sounded like they were all laughing about a rookie mistake of pepper spraying yourself.
At least one @TorontoPolice officer has been injured after being sprayed with an unknown substance at the Lamport encampment clearing. Protesters are refusing to leave the park despite trespass notices and cautions. An update on arrests will be provided later today. ^ams
@StephenPunwasi "These things happen.." When government convinces citizens that the poorest among them is the enemy. When they justify starving disabled people When they won't give enough to last while people who can work, find jobs. When we ignore the truth, sitting right in front of us.
Over the last 48 hours, the City of Toronto conducted 2 paramilitary operations. Sent hundreds of police. Intimidated with horses. Surveilled with drones...Just to remove 43 people living in parks, with nowhere safe to go. Make no mistake: This is warfare on the poor.
Biggest gap in the encampment evictions? @JohnTory makes NO call for emergency federal $$$ to house people. Why? He’s too busy doing press conferences with @JustinTrudeau @HonAhmedHussen @TOAdamVaughan thanking them for $$ for ‘affordable’ hsg that is not rent geared to income.
Missing the fact that division 14 unconstitutionally withholding contact with lawyers or updates for those in custody @CityNews @680NEWS - including those who were beaten and are injured
#UPDATE: Police say 26 people were arrested after violent clashes at the Lamport Stadium encampment site. There were 19 charged under the Trespass to Property Act and six others were criminally charged. bddy.me/3eHvwQB
Many Hours too late and KWT!!! And you voted for zero encampments. What did you think was going to happen when you voted for this? People were brutalized by the police and it’s going to happen again and again cause this is not how we solve a housing crisis.
I've been in touch with City staff and stressed that they can't police their way out of homelessness and that they need to grant media access to Lamport. It's also why I have repeatedly asked staff to bring in third-party neutral legal observers.
do not look away — this is the violence in our city and chronic failure on housing as a human right.
I cannot stress enough that we need bodies right ❗️NOW❗️ at Lamport. WE NEED PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE FENCES. THE SITUATION IS MOVING QUICK AND WE NEED BODIES ASAP. KING AND FRASER. This is our chance to protect our neighbours in encampments being displaced and evicted by TO police.
Police arrested 9 people today at Alexander Park for trespassing. These were workers, volunteers, journalists and residents who were arrested. People helping ppl pack to move were forcibly removed. Residents moved out as their belongings destroyed. @cityoftoronto
#BREAKING: The City of Toronto has sent dozens of police, security & horses to remove people experiencing homelessness from encampments at Alexandra Park. The city has once again chosen a militarized response over a human rights response. Stop criminalizing people in poverty!
123 people have died in the shelters since last January. 49 from January to end of May this year. People watched their fellow community members go in to shelters and die. Avg age of death 50. How can the City say it’s safer? People can define what’s safe for themselves.
