A-Dub 🥝ugh. the city really did clear almost all the unhoused encampment tents from Allan Gardens today that aren't part of the Land Back protest tipis+tents cluster. only one non-LB tent was left standing - the biggest - and, according to a probably believable source, the city workers and cops will be back for that one tomorrow 😞 #Gentrification #HousingEmergency #TorontoTheCruel #Toronto
At the start of Friday 18th October 2024, there were 11 unhoused people living in Allan Gardens park. City crews then spent hours clearing the unhoused encampment; they used heavy machinery to destroy structures.
“No one is receiving housing. 7 people have accepted [shitty city] shelter beds. 2 will simply be displaced to nowhere. I can't stress this enough: in no way has homelessness been 'solved' by this action," said advocate Diana Chan McNally. “The narrative of moving people into 'safer, indoor space' is just spin.”
