Renter's in Canada

Make it make sense. 😠 Every year, Canada loses 46,000 affordable rental units due to weak rent control laws and poor tenant protections from no-fault evictions. Worse perhaps is that federal housing money is going to projects that are literally destroying affordable housing! 💣Mark Carney 's latest announcement is giving $1.8 BILLION💰 to Toronto developers - some of which is going to a redevelopment project by Menkes Developments. Menkes is a real estate company that plans to demolish the affordable rent controlled homes of hundreds of tenants at 55 Brownlow, including Megan Kee from No Demovictions . What will replace these homes? Condos🏢. Add your name to ACORN's online action to send Prime Minister Carney, Housing Minister Gregor Robertson and your MP a message: the federal government MUST put affordability and anti-eviction conditions on federal funding to protect our homes! 👇 Sign here: https://acorncanada.org/take_action/send-mark-carney-a-message-to-protect-our-homes/ #CdnPoli #HousingCanada #RentControl #Demovictions #AffordableHousing
