Colin D'Mello | Global News We are in court for this case, as an intervenor. Zero optimism that the approval authority- the Health Minister- will expedite, approve, and fund new consumption services. Previous CTS applications sat idle for years before being denied.

Court ruled that closing SCS would cause irreparable harm. Yesterday Sylvia Jones and Doug Ford were in the news stating they all smoothly transitioned. This is a LIE. Not one hart Hub is open. Organizations have not received funding to be up and running.

“"As the sites have closed, people have responded to people dead outside. People have responded to people overdosing outside," she said. She apologized for tearing up. "It's extremely emotional, because we have to fight health policy in the courts…” thetrillium.ca/news/health/ju…

Government vs. Government. Bedtime for democracy. Fear of a hostile, vindictive, and petty #ONgov stalls regional letter about #CTS, statutory compliance, and the rule of law.

This is the kind of homelessness policy Doug Ford aims to import from America. Oregon's Deschutes Forest was evicted even though residents living in the forest have nowhere else to go. And if they stay? Imprisonment. Why is Ford importing Trumpian policies that make no sense?

More "War on Drugs" legislation from Doug Ford. Bill 10 makes any landlord — which could include a public/supportive housing provider — potentially guilty of an offence if residents sell drugs in their units. Providers could be fined up to $1 million. ola.org/en/legislative…

We all knew it would be a disaster. A government that bases decisions on a handful of angry neighbours never satisfied until people disappear and not on evidence is determined to fail communities in need. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

My op-ed for Toronto Star: when it comes to encampments, Doug Ford is looking south of the border when he should be looking west. Ontario is importing failed American policies to punish homelessness, while Manitoba is doing what works: housing people. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

In Waterloo region, ~ 40 homeless men in a 26 bed shelter were even more homeless (!!) when it closed May 1. There is, literally, nowhere to sleep etc. except outside. Bill 6 will jail and/or fine them for existing. That’s Ontario’s plan. Boo.
