Leaders Demand Canadian Government Pay its Bill for Refugee Shelter Funding
Monday, September 29, 8:30 AM | City Hall, 100 Queen Street West, Toronto

(TORONTO) — Right now, 3,420 refugees—40% of all clients in Toronto’s shelter system—depend on city shelters. Despite this urgent need, the Canadian  government has slashed Toronto’s funding for refugee shelters by $107 million, a 74% rollback of federal support. Read more here.

Doug Ford announced plans to ban speed cameras—making it easier to speed and putting lives at risk.

Hospitals and police chiefs agree: speed cameras save lives. They reduce speeding, prevent crashes, and protect communities. And because many are in school zones, they keep kids safe on their way to class.

Ford dismisses them as a “cash grab.” But you don’t pay if you don’t speed. So why is he risking kids’ lives just to make it easier for reckless drivers to break the law?
