Hands off renters rights! ✊Join tenants from across Ontario for #NationalHousingDay2025 for a march from FRPO’s head office (the main landlord lobby behind Bill 60) at 11AM (67 Yonge Street) to Queens Park (111 Wellesley St E).

A 91yo man being evicted: not even the police would enforce when there is nowhere to go.

Toronto homelessness advocates rally against Ford government increasing policing powers in encampments - The Trillium https://t.co/ZlxJOo9njf

See you there!

@TenantAdvocacy @TorontoStar Oh! Now we know why. Great reporting @_VictoriaGibson - https://t.co/aZWWlFMVtZ

This CBC story highlights Ontario's refusal to commit to not clawing back the #CDB. It is not right to even consider balancing the books using federal funds meant for Ontario's most vulnerable people. #ODSP recipients can't afford to wait any longer. https://t.co/d3vuqCcONf

My op-ed for @TorontoStar: when it comes to encampments, @fordnation is looking south of the border when he should be looking west. Ontario is importing failed American policies to punish homelessness, while Manitoba is doing what works: housing people. https://t.co/lMcveKlmJN

Proud to support this advocacy pushing back against Ontario’s re-introduction of the so-called Safer Municipalities Act. We strongly oppose this legislation. See our @JusticeProgram letter to the government here: https://t.co/qm8268tQTu

5,000 affordable homes at risk: Ford government rolled back mandates for dozens of Toronto properties on election call eve https://t.co/RD7AwAtmgv via @torontostar

This is why our affordable housing crisis will take a generation to address. Provincial political parties need to get serious by ensuring every new development that benefits from being close to transit has a % of affordable housing.

[Neighbourhood Legal Services @NLS_toronto]

@fordnation genuine question: Why is the province overriding municipalities’ affordable housing goals in the face of a housing affordability crisis? https://t.co/Q3yc0ZxfAL
