A Win... for Toronto, and for the Unhoused.#DunnHouse
Welcome to Dunn House — a prescription for change that has been years in the making. Housing is health. And this is the power of partnership. 51 UHN patients with no fixed address comprised over 4,000 emergency department visits in the past year. This is driven by the pathologies of poverty. For the 51 individuals moving in, this is more than housing—it's good health care. With primary care, Indigenous-led support, harm reduction and addiction treatment services, we’re redefining compassionate care for people experiencing homelessness. The work isn't done until tenants are settled in—and won’t feel real until I’m seeing patients in the clinic room right onsite. While a month in hospital costs over $30,000, supportive housing costs just $4,000, promoting human dignity and sound health economics. Grateful to our entire team, all partners and the advocacy of the Parkdale community for making this possible. This is just the beginning of showing the world that housing is healthcare.

Homelessness is a crisis — not a crime. Forcing people out of encampments with police won’t solve the problem. All Ontario's party leaders must commit to an urgent, compassionate, housing response. #HomesNotHandcuffs homesnothandcuffs.ca/ontario…

the cerulean one? turquoise? the one without clouds?
That other platform, the one where the sky is bluer, has really sprung to life in the aftermath of that event precipitated by the guy who owns this one and his friend. People are actually civil there. A lot of them used to be the best voices here. Still a very small community

A bomb threat briefly closed the government-services center in Pennsylvania’s Chester County, causing evacuations from two polling places. The county has gone to court to get an extension to keep both polling places open until 10 P.M. nyer.cm/OvsArec

That’s a very persuasive and hopeful endorsement of Harris from Mr. Musk
BREAKING: Elon Musk says Kamala Harris will Shut down X and bring back Twitter if she wins the Election
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While Musk did say this, as shown in the video posted as a reply to this post, Harris has not made this claim. The claim that she did so is based on a misleading clip from a 2019 interview where she speaks on Donald Trump’s Twitter account. poynter.org/fact-checking/…

I spoke to @CP24 about @fordnation's potential use of the notwithstanding clause to remove homeless people's Charter-protected rights — all so that governments are no longer obligated to provide housing, or even shelter beds. Let's stop it from happening: change.org/OntarioEncampment…

Somewhere in this city, a cyclist is going about their business who'll die in a terrible collision because Doug Ford thinks his campaign to remove bike lanes will make a great wedge issue in the next election, writes editor @JohnLorinc. spacing.ca/toronto/2024/11/0… #ONpoli #TOpoli

JUST IN: The Elon Musk hearing in Philadelphia, over his potentially illegal $1m giveaway to voters, has been moved up to tomorrow.... AND the judge says "all parties must be present." Musk is a named defendant in the case, so that includes him. TBD if he'll actually be there.
