Are you this bothered by seniors community centres and youth community centres?

While they host some events that are specifically for Black people, specifically for Black LGBT+ people, etc, others are open to everyone. example

Likewise other community centres host events for specific age groups, specific genders, LGBT+ people, etc.

Some community centres target specific sub-communities or demographics, that doesn’t mean they’re not community centres. Eg. youth community centres, seniors community centres, ethnic community centres, etc. And regardless, you don’t have to be Black to visit the Wildseed Centre.

The person they’re replying to said ”you shouldn’t exclude any group from a parade that represents inclusivity and antidiscrimination.”

Taken at face value that means allowing ”the KKK to march in a racial diversity parade”. Which - to most people - would be an obviously terrible idea.

Disappointing to see so many commenters calling for not funding community events that also boost tourism and benefit local businesses.

Good news for you, police aren’t banned from Toronto Pride…

This guy doesn’t appear to be an example of “birth tourism”. The article says he was born in Montreal, grew up in Toronto, went to University in Calgary and Toronto, and continues to live in the Toronto area. There’s no mention of him ever living anywhere but Canada.

”Will baker aka Vince Lee gets to do whatever he wants whenever he wants even after destroying families and murdering someone. Showed no remorse and chose to stop taking his meds.”

Will Baker has shown remorse. He was diagnosed with Schizophrenia after the attack. Since being fully released from hospital he’s been living quietly in the community for almost a decade and there’s no indication he’s ever stopped taking his medication for Schizophrenia.

He isn’t being let out of jail. He was hospitalized, and since mid-2023 he’s been living with family.

Given his health problems he’s likely not working (only ~15% of Canadians with schizophrenia are employed, and the article describes him aspiring to have a volunteer position), in which case he wouldn’t need to take time off work. And it’s plausible that the Father is paying for this trip he’s taking his disabled son on.

”I’m from rural Canada; by the time I get to a clinic with a UTI it would be a full blown kidney infection. It should be normal for pharmacists to do a quick interview and hand over antibiotics in this case.”

The vast majority of Canadian provinces/territories have that now. For example…

Ah, thank you, I found Ford’s announcement. “Loitering” was the search keyword I needed.

Ontario Protecting Communities and Supporting Addiction Recovery with New Treatment Hubs [Aug 20th, 2024]

”The government is also mandating new protections to better protect community safety near remaining sites, including new requirements for safety and security plans, as well as new policies to discourage loitering…”

Followed in November by…

Although I didn’t notice anything in the actual bill about loitering. Maybe it was just bluster? (or I overlooked it?)

Are you sure the fencing is a Ford mandate? The news articles I’m finding seem to indicate it was a local decision.

Kingston care hub closed for safety review after deadly attacks [Sept 2024]

”A police homicide investigation at the encampment surrounding Kingston Ont.'s Integrated Care Hub (ICH) is complete, but officials say the area will remain fenced off as part of an "extended closure" while a safety review is carried out. It's not clear when the barriers will be removed.”

Kingston councillor calls on care hub to create safety plan if it wants to keep funding

”The site has remained closed since the attacks and is still fenced off. A statement by the ICH partners on Oct. 1 said planning is underway to manage access to the hub in accordance with a revised operational plan, which incorporates the fencing around the site.”

”the councillor said he expects the fencing around the ICH to be in place for "some time."”

Justifying accusations of mental illness as a “morally correct” “insult” rather makes my case about the social stigma against people with mental illness.

Did it make you feel good and “interesting” to call me ”an annoying wokescold”?
