“neutrality takes the side of the oppressor” and “we must respond to violence with non-violence” are related btw

Can never forget the liberal response to defund the police, how they all moved more to the right, supported a President who campaigned on giving more funding to law enforcement and now want to do all this sanctimonious handwringing about that increased funding in practice…

France’s extraordinary election results provide an urgent, valuable lesson. Don’t concede ground to those who sow division and fear. Build a bold Left movement that offers an alternative of inclusion and hope. That is how you defeat the far right.

New report finds that keeping a person homeless in Quebec costs $72,521 per year, including $17,000 in policing expenses. Providing them a home costs less. We've known this for years, but politicians prefer to campaign on more punishment than more care, even if care is cheaper.

I’m helping organize the 2023 Ottawa March for Trans Rights. Putting on an event comes with costs - posters, speaker honoraria, snacks, masks, ASL/LSQ etc. Please consider making a donation via e-transfer to help us out: [email protected] – at Ottawa, Ontario

a stranger at this handed me a sign that said “fuck the patriarchy” god i love trans people 🏳️‍⚧️
5000+ people attended the Montreal Trans March yesterday, denouncing rising hate, demanding trans rights, and rallying for a safer, more equitable future for trans people. Honoured to have spoken at the rally, and helped lead the March through downtown MTL.

This story should have made global headlines, and probably would have if it were happening in an enemy country like Iran or North Korea.

.@stminfo @Val_Plante alors que le service est maintenant réduit—nous le ressentons tous—allez-vous réduire les tarifs? Pourquoi nous payons les mêmes prix pour un service réduit?

"If hiring more police won’t help, then what will? The finding that the number of police is unrelated to crime rates is very threatening. It leaves us all without a security blanket.”
Crime rates have much more to do with social factors than with the numbers of police officers — rates of social inequality, availability of affordable housing, support for families and young children, and so forth. #Opinion by John Sewell trib.al/K5F0Nwh

All five murders this year are linked to mental illness. There's maybe just a tiny difference in the way this is being reported versus the last two years of reporting on gun violence linked to racialized youth.

"There's a lot of money for more police and bike paths, but not enough funding for grassroots organizations that already have a relationship with the community they're serving... As a community we have to decide what's important to us. Do we care about people or we don't?" - John

It’s appalling for the Quebec government to be funding an organization whose main agenda is promoting anti-trans hate. They called me a violent man and refer to gender affirming surgeries as “mutilations”. @francoislegault must cut their funding. montreal.ctvnews.ca/slap-in-…

Pour mieux comprendre l'augmentation historique du budget du @SPVM. Augmenter l’effectif et le budget de la police ne diminue pas la violence, ni même le “crime”. La police le sait et @projetmontreal le sait, mais notre sécurité n'est pas leur objectif. 1/2

We broke down the historic @SPVM budget increase. The police cannot reduce violence, they cannot reduce harm, it is simply not possible for police repression to do that. The @SPVM knows it, @projetmontreal knows it -- but their objective is not to keep us safe. 1/2

Make no mistake: The violence we're seeing on the TTC won't be addressed by having more police present. We need more housing. More mental healthcare. More harm reduction services. More public washrooms. More warming centres. We need a City of Toronto that's more compassionate.
