I was proud to be thrown out of the Ontario Legislature today as the Ford government shamefully passed #Bill60.

We won't be silent while this government makes more Ontarians homeless.

It was an absolute honour to speak at today's rally and demand housing for all in the face of legislation that will force more and more Ontarians into encampments. Housing is a human right!

Last week, City Council voted to make changes their encampment protocol that violate human rights.

So this morning, I introduced a letter at the Housing Rights Advisory Committee (HRAC) to challenge Council's unilateral authority to revise encampment policy: secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

#Bill60 will likely be passed this week, and it will grow homelessness across Ontario — something our food banks, shelters, and municipalities do not have the resources to address.

When you wonder why encampments are growing in your community, remember Bill 60.

My remarks today at the OLA:

Homelessness will dramatically increase in Toronto over the winter, primarily because of provincial and federal funding cuts. Because of this, Toronto's Warming Centres will not be able to meet the need.

My interview this morning with CBC Metro Morning.

How many encampment residents have been displaced to nowhere since the IDP was enacted? My motion, which was passed, asked for this data and more, which is central to improving the IDP and upholding the human right to housing — even if, sadly, it cannot help anyone today. /5

Our Rally to Rescind Bill 6 was heard loud and clear, with support from the NDP, Greens, and Liberals. But Doug Ford expedited the Bill's passing today bc of a new rule that bans protestors from entering the legislature for 24 hrs after a protest. He kept us out to pass Bill 6!
