📢 Minister Colton Leblanc's stance on fixed-term leases fuels class warfare! The narrative? Landlords' "right" to profit trumps tenant rights. 🏠💰 But where's the balance? Dignity and health vs. profit - there's no contest. #Nspoli #HousingJustice #TenantRights #DignityFirst

Ensuring that everyone has a housing secure future is critical for our health and our community’s well-being. The increased use of fixed-term leases during a housing crisis has had a harmful impact on the 100s of thousand Nova Scotians who rent.

@CCPANS Poverty rates are much higher for children under six, racialised children, immigrant children, children of lone mother-led families and for Indigenous children living on First Nation reserves. Time for bold actions and investments to end child poverty – kids can't wait! #nspoli
