JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

In Terrace yesterday, Prime Minister Mark Carney sidestepped questions about US ownership and First Nations opposition to the Ksi Lisims LNG export terminal, which has been added to a list of projects the feds plan to expedite. My latest for @thetyee.ca. thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

There is no "Three Strike Rule" on human rights, and I remind City Council that the provisions of the Waterloo ruling re: encampments don't extend to just any offer of shelter — it must be *truly* accessible shelter.

This is what Brad should be worried about with two young kids. Not people trying to survive outside.

We'll be in front of his other office today, the day the speed cameras go dark. Would love to have you join us for a few laps of our marathon!

Dear Brad Brad. Your conflation of perceived safety of your kids and the existence of unhoused ppl in parks, reeks of conservative fear mongering. The people you SHOULD be most concerned about in terms of safety are all those ppl forced to live outside bc our systems have failed to keep them housed

I don't want to live in a world where we quibble about the ages of abused children.

In my brief block by block encounters with crossing guards I see how drivers menace them, inching towards. What a whole shift must be like. The Premier and other politicians, Toronto Police, other forces, have taken the lid of all this. A death drive amid other bs rhetoric of public safety.

Councillor Gord Perks calls Bradford's speech "performative." "Isn't it interesting that the same person who gets up and thumps the table and talks about all the harms caused by people who have lost their homes, being in encampments, has voted against building shelters," Perks says.

And Zionists

I don’t ever want to hear the quote “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” Fragile mediocre white men are the most dangerous beings to ever walk the earth. Ford will continue to punish Toronto as long as we let him stay in power.

"You cannot in good faith stand up on Monday and say, 'Stop building shelters!' And then stand up on Thursday and say, 'Get everybody out of the encampments.' It is REPREHENSIBLE to do that," says Councillor Gord Perks of Brad Bradford's motion.

This!!!!!!!!

This conflation of homelessness and safety has to stop. The people who are most UNSAFE are the ones LIVING OUTSIDE BRAD!!!! This continued narrative that encampments = unsafe people specifically for kids, is deplorable.

I was at Dufferin Grove yesterday. It’s empty Brad. Not a tent in sight. But you’re from the Beaches so what would you know?

A win! But it took thousands—including petition signatories, tour participants, emailers, Matlow’s staff, the mayor’s staff, the councillors themselves, and some I surely forgot—to keep momentum and morph this into consensus. Thank you all.

New Toronto Initiative is suing the City bc of an incoming Senior’s shelter. Bradford from Beaches keeps mtg with them & amplifying. NTI aligns themselves with provincial Cons. Province cuts funding to COHB, Con leaning groups fight shelters, Bradford wants to speed up encampment removal. 🫠

I am so curious. Where does Bradford want these people to go? He openly supports NTI a group in South Etobicoke currently fly suing the City of Toronto over an incoming Senior’s shelter and they’ve even named Coun. Morley and private citizen in their lawsuit.

Beyond the obvious horrors that Epstein embodied…wtf was up with his refusal to capitalize and use proper punctuation in emails? Wasn’t he a teacher? Oh. Ew. Ewwwwwww.

And on bringing pictures to class and voting NO on any and all motions that work to move our city forward.

I can’t beg anymore than I have been 🆘 PLEASE find it in your heart to help keep a Mom’s hydro connected and help feed some families People on disability, working poor & some seniors DO NOT get enough to pay rent, bills and Groceries They need Mutual Aid to survive 👇

I think men are gonna get that crash course because women have always known how grim men truly are. Ask ask a middle school girl right now what it’s like to be around cis-men.

Look it’s my right to live convenience free!!!!

And the ‘community’ groups he aligns himself with are using the same excuse to prevent shelters from being built. Of note: none of them are putting pressure on the Ford govt who r in the process of cutting rent subsidies that help ppl move from shelters into housing.

As someone who lives in an area that has to have the highest % of cannabis stores in a square km, what concerns ppl about these stores? Sure I’d love a bakery or deli instead of a dozen cannabis stores but they don’t cause harm just being there. Please enlighten me, someone.

I’m already seeing what this will look like in Ontario. Multiple emails to the TDSB supervisors and ministry of Ed with no answers to my questions about the sudden change to admissions for Specialized Programs. Supervisor response by some unnamed person directs me to the school board…

This gov’t keeps saying “parent voice” this and “parent voice” that. I intend to continue making my parent voice very loud. I hope you’ll join me. #onted #onpoli

Yeah, it's the rent. Between 2019-2024, retail rents in Toronto spiked by 142%. Data - betterwayalliance.ca/the-fixed-co...

Than share the complexity because all I hear is “gasp what about the children?! There will be vape and cannabis shops on every corner!”

That’s because you’ve created suburbanite hell in your ward sir. It used to be a ward where we could walk to plaza’s that had delis, bakeries, candy shops and more. When you remove all those options and allow box store after box store what do you expect?

Oh sir you really have some confidence about those imaginary patties. 😂

Holyday has no clue. He assumes everyone has multiple SUVs to drive to big box stores & Cost Co. His ward has successfully killed off all small retail for subdivisions.

This is what wastes time and $$ and it’s so often by Councillors who align with conservatives. Recent closures of SCS & lawsuits against shelters are all based on a minority of the population who just have a lot of free time & $$

Why is Holyday against almost everything?!? Seriously this man needs to be called out. Would love for someone to pull his voting records for as long as he’s been a councillor and see how many times he’s voted NO. Seems like a great job for AI.

Both the Director of Education and the CFO of the Ottawa Carleton District School Board have been pushed out by Ford’s crony supervisor! 👀 OCDSB director of education Pino Buffone departs ottawacitizen.com/news/ocdsb-p... #topoli #onpoli #onted

Of course the entire school board supervision thing is about the Ford government selling land to their friends! The new grift is afoot! ‘I feel like they’re hiding something’: Secrecy at TDSB’s real estate arm worries trustees www.torontotoday.ca/local/educat... #topoli #onpoli #onted

Thank you to City Council for voting to stand up for renters against the impacts of #Bill60, including by reviewing legal options to fight the Bill. Today's vote is an important affirmation of our rights as tenants and the clear link between evictions and homelessness.

“Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the ̶h̶o̶m̶e̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶ hockey community?!” — Councillor Stephen Holyday #TOpoli

This is a ridiculous vote. What a spend of taxpayer $$

Brad Brad and Holyday always sticking their NOses where they don’t belong.

"Councillor Bradford and Councillor Holyday, I represent my constituents and my youth. Obviously, you don't!" thunders Nunziata. The Weston Lions Arena is in her ward. She points out that it was never a city-run facility, and they charged significant money for ice access.

Wow Nunziata!! I’m speechless 😂

If hockey is a pillar for family life in Toronto then these councillors better be fighting for more affordability bc hockey is a sport for the wealthy & privileged. Also last time I checked it’s toxic AF so maybe let’s work on that before we make it a pillar for families. www.tsn.ca/hockey-canad...

This is what the NIMBYs like ‘No-Integrity TO’, ‘Niagara Neighbours for the privileged’ & ‘New Toronto Initiative for gated communities’ need to better understand. Your beef is with the province not the city. The city is just trying to plug the holes in a sinking ship that the province keeps bombing

Mr No at it again. 🫠

Wait. Wait. Canada is cutting thousands and thousands of public servants because AI will be transformational.

So many people currently using ‘safety of kids’ to justify dehumanizing the homeless and conflating homelessness with addiction. Meanwhile in a local Toys R Us they’re selling your kids Teddy Bears in goddamn body bags. People need to wake the F up to where the real dangers are lurking.

Exactly!!! Why do councillors and media keep giving air time to these privileged suburbanites? Plenty of us organize in larger numbers to fight for more support for all but busy lives, kids, jobs, and our own challenges make it hard to dedicate 24/7.
