In a time of snitch lines<\/a>, and shuttered park space<\/a>, we dive into what we’re prioritizing in this pandemic, and what, and especially who, is ignored.<\/p>\n

We talk to Spacing<\/em> co-founder and Toronto Star columnist Shawn Micallef<\/a> about what happens to the public realm, now we’re in lockdown.<\/p>\n

Former Toronto Police Services Board Chair Alok Mukherjee<\/a>, co-author of “Excessive Force: Toronto’s fight to reform city policing,” critiques the new, extraordinary policing measures we’re seeing.<\/p>\n

And harm-reduction worker and Toronto Overdose Prevention Society<\/a> co-organizer Zo\u00eb Dodd<\/a> talks about what the City has done (or failed to) for people in the shelter system, substance users, and other vulnerable communities.<\/p>\n

Plus, Glyn goes on a brief rant about all the cities making space for pedestrians to social distance that aren’t Toronto.<\/p>\n
