The City of Toronto will have private security guards patrol a handful of parks 24/7 to try and prevent large encampments like last summer.

A tender soliciting security firms for the job went up last week.

My latest scoop here http://cbc.ca/1.6449169 #TOpoli

More $ for public washrooms was voted down by mayor & his councillors. This shit is no problem tho. https://twitter.com/balkissoon/status/1524522883413852162

"Last summer the city spent nearly $2 million on enforcing evictions and cleaning up encampments at Trinity Bellwoods, Alexandra and Lamport Stadium"

"Toronto to deter encampments by contracting private security guards to patrol some parks 24/7..."It's not a reasonable or sustainable solution," @lorrainelamchop told CBC News." #TOpoli

Is anybody surprised anymore at these margins?

City Council loves to talk about wanting to do more, but every time there's a motion to actually act... there are a handful of Councillors in favour of helping the marginalized, and there are suburban Councillors. https://twitter.com/BenSpurr/status/1524412567506112513

Perks' motion to condemn the province for its "lack of action" on homelessness does not carry, 5 to 14.
