Mayor Olivia Chow is introducing fare capping for TTC riders in her upcoming budget. Instead of having to decide whether it makes sense to buy a monthly pass in advance, rides will automatically be free after 47 trips starting next Sept.

Beyond violating separation of powers and the Charter, Bill 75 will keep poor people in jail, longer. Ford is already pushing people into encampments, which he's also criminalized. Bill 75 will also impact poor people demonstrating against this government. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Ontario has rammed this bill through the Legislature that: - massively increases the balance of power in tenant law towards landlords. - will lower notice for tenants and speed up the LTB—for landlords.

Add your voice! Stop Bills C-2 and C-12! The bills expand surveillance, criminalization, and exclusion - pushing people out of care and into harm. www.hivlegalnetwork.ca/site/bills-c...

Join us on National Housing Day (Sat., Nov. 22) for a rally from the offices of landlord lobbyists FRPO to Queen's Park! FRPO are working with the Ford government to make us homeless. Being neutral on legislation like #Bill60 that makes it easier for Ontarians to become homeless is not an option.

Doug Ford’s new housing bill has been sold as efficiency reform, yet it prioritizes landlords over tenants. Long-term renters will face faster evictions, fewer protections, and higher rents while corporate landlords consolidate even more control of an already deeply financialized market.

We can have a sober national conversation about how much immigration is suitable to meet our social and economic goals. But scapegoating immigrants for the state of housing and health care obscures the real causes of these crises and stokes resentment against vulnerable members of our communities.

Bill 60 is a vicious, one-sided tenancy legislation. It will cause widespread suffering and loss of life. Anyone who stays neutral is complicit. In this @thestar.com article, I focus on why mayors should fight it. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Bill 60 an attack on tenants! www.thegrindmag.ca/despite-reve...

Friends, there have been waves of landlord and government propaganda for us to consider our fight to #StopBill60 over. But it is not even close. Read on about what is actually in Bill 60 for us to still beat back. 1/4

Bill 60 still: - Limits a tenant’s ability to raise new issues at an LTB arrears hearing unless the tenant paid 50% of the rent arrears claimed in the landlord's application. - Provides the AG with authority to limit how a final decision or order of the LTB can be reviewed. 3/4

Bill 60 still: - Allows landlords who have provided 120 days notice for an Landlord’s Own Use eviction, to not to have to provide compensation to the tenants or offer another unit. - Shortens the Arrears Eviction Notice Period from 14 to 7 days—making evictions even faster. 4/4

Canada’s deficit is projected to rise by $17B, yet ordinary folks face cuts to essential services while the ultra-rich and corporations avoid billions in taxes. Closing loopholes and taxing offshore wealth could fully fund health care, housing, and education—proving the crisis is a political choice.
