Great walk March 1 with TFN’s Clara. We saw scaup, goldeneyes, mute swans, a tree swallow and both ring-billed and herring gulls.

Great walk March 1 with TFN’s Clara. We saw scaup, goldeneyes, mute swans, a tree swallow and both ring-billed and herring gulls.
BTW we have tons of stats. TPH collects them + Toronto Homeless Memorial stats. This posting is about the non communication by provincial coroner and TPS in a suspicious death. We don’t even know if this person was homeless.
Greg C might be able to give you some clues he’s putting together.
⚰️I find it so disturbing after all these years, including multiple inquests, there is no proactive effort by coroner’s office or @TPSOperations to provide commun’n alerts to the public and/or to seek help in identification. #Media ‼️shake this down! @ONsafety @SHJNetwork
There should be a city media statement….3
‼️toronto There are reliable reports of an individual found deceased, frozen near the 519 a few days ago. Of course outreach workers have heard about this through their contacts. Apparently an autopsy is being performed….2
So young.
Last night with #toronto warming surge sites open the number of ppl in the warming centres jumped from 244 to 301. This am @cityoftoronto closed the surge sites. 👎🥶
Dear Auston Mathews,
Were you one of the lugs on TEAM USA who laughed at the Women's Team?
We will know if you show up at the White House to kiss Trump's ring.
If you do, don't bother coming back to Toronto.
We like real sportsmen. Not MAGA Americans.
Ask Gretzky for advice.

I actually think AI might do a better job than City Hall. My ‘Alexa’ just went ‘ding’ and sent me a weather warning. Winds gusting to 50K. Windchill -16C tonight. 🥶
Yet @cityoftoronto closed 3 surge #warmingcentres despite historic high use when they are open.

No one is stick handling this at City Hall to make it work. #intentionalincompetence
Toronto Star front page. Headline ‘Plight of the homeless a national disaster’. Picture of an Indigenous man under an overpass.
Globe and Mail story. Thunder Bay declares humanitarian crisis.
28 years of neglect by all 3 levels of gov’t. In #ThunderBay @redcrosscanada.bsky.social waits for a phone call and city officials will write a report. Meanwhile shelter rights denied. People, disproportionately Indigenous, will continue to die.
Email indicating #toronto warming centres open 3 pm today.
Phew. ❄️ This is a welcome change of practice. Normally they would open 5 pm tomorrow and only if criteria met.
Toronto STAR article. 'Unlicensed agency supplied workers for city's shelters.'
”The city of Toronto had contracts with OCS worth about $40 million through to the end of 2027." except it was not a real security company.

The sharpest column I’ve read in recent months in the Star on any subject. 👍
My friend wrote this book and it’s just nuts that it seems to be out of print. 🇨🇦 #flagday

Please, here is how you can help. Cathy
City email saying it is closing all warming centres.
Environment Canada graph showing temp prediction of -1C, wind chill -19C and risk of freezing drizzle in evening.
Finally, it happened. #toronto closes ALL remaining warming centres. 👎
Why? Because they consider it warm enough.
City does not respect the right to shelter or the science of health impacts of #homelessness.
@MayorOliviaChow @BravoDavenport
PS ⚠️ windchill -19C + freezing drizzle risk
My take on this: “The city #toronto does not ensure adequate safe shelter year long so it should have taken greater care to protect the Better Living Centre as an emergency shelter venue instead of office space for the #FIFA circus.”

Why is Toronto’s provision of shelter weather based in the first place?
Great interviews with @HavenTorontoCA @lorrainelamchop @c_shadowspaces

Shelter chaos. Again.
Environment Canada graph showing -8C temp and risk of frostbite.
#Toronto closes 3 ‘surge’ warming centres that shelter roughly 100 people because weather will ‘warm’ to above -15C. #righttoshelter Should not be temp based.
@MayorOliviaChow @BravoDavenport
Trump’s behaviours of brutal, harmful actions and communications are escalating. He needs a psych assessment and should be impeached.
Glad you are ok! Wish you speedy healing.
