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.

The city is making multiple deadly decisions: closing of shelter-hotels, increasing shelter crowding, reducing physical distancing, warming centres that require a referral.....I could go on and on.
