Tell Doug Ford: Rip up Elon Musk's $100M Starlink Contract for OntarioThis would provide more jobs for Ontario workers, keeping money in Canada, and we can cut ties (in one way) with Musk, who continues to gain power and is trying to influence elections, as he flirts with Nazi sympathizers around the globe. In Ford's words, we should not "pay a penny" of our Canadian tax dollars. Whether you support Ford or not, this $100 million contract was a BAD deal to begin with for the pocket books of Canadians. Tell Doug Ford to end the contract, and bring it back to Canada.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jay Walker

Reject Ford’s crackdown on the houseless communityPremier Doug Ford tabled draconian and callous legislation that will criminalize people for not having a home — and he is ready to override the courts to make it happen. This bill will give cities more power to increase policing and forcibly dismantle encampments — when people have nowhere else to go. Community advocates and experts have come out against it: this legislation doesn't get to the root of the issue — it will just land more people in jails, cost millions of dollars and spread encampments to new places. Already some cities have started to speak out against it. If more cities reject Ford’s brutal legislation and demand Ford provide real solutions to the housing crisis, it could force Ford to back down. A wave of local campaigns calling on local mayors and city councils to come out against Ford's draconian legislation could help tip the scale. Sign the petition to your city’s mayor and council demanding they reject Ford’s crackdown on the houseless community.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tracey Mackinnon

Toronto Mayor and Council: Reject Ford’s crackdown on the houseless community: Olivia ChowPremier Doug Ford has tabled draconian and cruel legislation that will further criminalize people for not having a home — and he is ready to override the courts to make it happen. This bill will give cities more power to increase policing and forcibly dismantle encampments — when people have nowhere else to go. This is being introduced as winter sets in, a time when houseless folks face the additional threat of freezing to death. Community advocates and experts have come out against it: this legislation doesn't get to the root of the issue — it will just land more people in jails, cost millions of dollars and spread encampments to new places. Further, it terrorises people who face regular trespasses to their safety from police and state agencies. Raiding and clearing encampments leads to some of the most vulnerable people in our society being physically assaulted, arrested, and having their only belongings destroyed or confiscated. Clearing encampments criminalises what is for many their only means of survival. Ford would also have to violate Canadians’ human rights to enforce this legislation by overriding the courts with the notwithstanding clause. This would override a decision in January 2023 by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. According to the CBC: “Justice M.J. Valente ruled that Waterloo Region could not use a municipal bylaw to evict people living in an encampment in Kitchener because that bylaw was deemed to be in violation of Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” Already some cities have started to speak out against it. If more cities reject Ford’s brutal legislation and demand Ford provide real solutions to the housing crisis, it could force Ford to back down. A wave of local campaigns calling on local mayors and city councils to come out against Ford's draconian legislation could help tip the scale.
