Important writing from @Diana_C_McNally on the increasingly young deaths of homeless women in Toronto. The median age of women who died on the street last year was 36 — seven years younger than the year prior. For unhoused men, that median age is 50.

About five years ago, a B.C. government inquiry into 'dirty money' forecasted $40B was laundered in Ontario between 2011 and 2015. No one did anything about this.
