"On Thursday, dozens of renters at 55 Triller Ave. poured into their property manager’s office to deliver a list of demands signed by over 100 residents. The letter called on the company to withdraw the AGI application"
Tenants at 71, 75, and 79 Thorncliffe prove what matters: working-class power wins where state and non-profit “fixes” fail. In a neighbourhood targeted by developers and politicians, they set the standard. Tenants take note: no landlord is too big to fail. Congrats @tparktenants
From Sunday to Tuesday there were recurring power outages at 71 Thorncliffe Park. Tenants could not cool our apartments during the heat wave. Today, the power is shut down for a previously planned outage.
These issues didn’t exist before Starlight and PSP Investments took over.

Starlight Investments boasts about “The Starlight Impact” and claims to have a positive impact on communities. During our protest last week, tenants spoke about the real Starlight impact and how our lives have become more difficult since Starlight took over our buildings. 🧵
Tenants from 71, 75 & 79 Thorncliffe Park protested today at Starlight Investments’ head office, marking two years since we kicked off our rent strike in protest of Starlight and PSP Investments’ above guideline rent increases.
We will not allow them to push us out of our homes.
Yesterday, Thorncliffe Park Tenants protested at a Canadian Club Toronto event that was sponsored by landlord PSP Investments subsidiary Northcrest Developments.
While PSP’s worried about building their brand in Toronto, Thorncliffe tenants are worried about losing their homes.
Politician negotiates MOU with landlord. Advises tenants to sign, as “it’s the best they’re going to get.” Says she will still vote no for the proposal. Organized tenants see through it and stop progressive politician from trying to have it both ways.

CBC Ottawa decides to run with a story on one tenant’s struggle to charge an EV while an organized struggle of far greater consequence took its message to Ottawa’s richest neighbourhood.
Co-founder and CEO of Smart Living Tamer Abaza has remained hidden from BBT for 2 years. So they went to house, but he continued to hide and refused to answer his door.

10% of Toronto residents relying on food banks. Usage up 90% from 2019, up 38% from last year. Over 50% of new users are employed full time, nearly 20% of all users are working. 1/3rd are children.
This morning we tabled at the Parkdale food bank for @ParkdaleLegal. A volunteer told us when she started in 2012 they served 3000 people a month, now it is 14,000. Most who approached reported facing high rents and evictions, users and volunteers alike.

With the city's proposed renovictions bylaw getting so much attention and people taking victory laps, we wanted to share some reflections on renovictions in Toronto and the bylaw. 🧵
The tactics landlords use to try to suppress tenant organizing may change, but the most effective response will always remain: more organizing.
Direct collective action is what works: that’s why they’re trying so desperately to shut it down.
