Shownotes

In this weekly roundup, hosts Jessa McLean and Santiago Helou Quintero cover:

Search the Landfill:

Camp Morgan is a place of resistance - a blockage of the road leading to the private landfill where Police and community members expect to find the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran. The authorities have failed the families and have refused to search the landfill or even stop continued dumping in that location.

Hosts cover the anti-Indigenous racism prevalent in this stories as well as the stories of resistance at the blockade and the use of injunctions to stop peaceful protests.

129 Peter Street

In an attempt to limit access to the shelter system, the City of Toronto defied their own sanctuary City policy and started turning away asylum seekers. This lead to a large number of people sleeping on the sidewalk outside of 129 Peter Street in an attempt to access services.

We talk about the inadequate shelter system, attitudes towards migrants and the unhoused community and the various efforts of mutual aid in response.
