#BREAKING: Dozens of police, security, drones & helicopters have surrounded people living in encampments at Trinity Bellwoods Park to evict them.
Imagine if the resources spent on evictions were instead spent on housing.
Shame on the City of Toronto!

I promise you there are many people who witnessed what happened yesterday & for the first time fully understood this dynamic. That’s as far as they are today & that will be reflected in the public dialogue. It reflects a shifting of the collective consciousness

Yesterday was an act of domestic terrorism.
The Proud Boys helped execute it.
Their founder is Canadian.
They operate in Canada, right now.
And, I am calling for them to be designated as a terrorist organization, immediately.

Hey @tobi - What would it take from those of us who use @Shopify for our stores and those of us who shop at stores powered by Shopify to get you to take action? Platforms like Shopify are complicit in Trump’s racism and bigotry. And you don’t have to be.

Canadians should do everything possible to preserve their democracy and uphold the integrity of their institutions. Don't make the same mistakes the US did, including assuming the worst cant happen! Autocracy can happen anywhere and the Trump/Brexit gang has their eyes on Canada
