The consumption site was chosen based on evidence - the 2nd highest rate of overdoses in the city
The closure of the site has caused chaos and destruction for residents-including those who live with addictions - and businesses

Proud to join renters and activists as we fight back against Ford's attack on tenant rights.
Bill 60 would:
🚨 Make it easier for tenants to be evicted
🚨 Make it harder to fight back against bad landlords
🚨 Limit appeals against evictions

Bill 60 guts tenant protections and opens the door to ending rent control.
We’ll fight alongside renters, housing advocates, and everyone who believes a home should be a human right—not a playground for profit.

In 2018 Doug Ford promised he wouldn't touch rent control.
He lied.
Now he has the audacity to blame renters for his failure to build housing and make life affordable for the people of Ontario.

Above Guideline Rent Increases (AGIs) are being consistently exploited by corporate landlords to raise rents for tenants in rent-controlled units.
It's time we ban them.

Jo Masterson, @catmckenney.bsky.social and I had a wild time judging dozens of dogs in costume with a turnout of probably 250 people at the Parkdale Market's Howl-O-Ween. The get-ups were amazing and the enthusiasm in the park incredible.

Back in the legislature today—and ready to hold Doug Ford accountable for his jobs disaster. 800,000 people out of work are counting on results and I'm here to make sure they get them.

#BREAKING: 800,000 Ontarians are out of work while Labour Minister Piccini partied in Paris with a lobbyist whose company got millions from his ministry — money he admitted to hand-picking.
As the legislature returns today, I’ve asked the Integrity Commissioner to investigate.
