Sad to hear about this loss. I spoke with Jennefer several times over the years about issues related to Toronto's waterfront and social justice. She was a passionate advocate and her contributions will be missed. <3

Waterloo Region has squandered over $1.9M in legal fees trying to clear a #homeless encampment while it could have used the same money to fund actual solutions that work. Other municipalities have made more responsible choices. maytreecanada.substack.com/p…

📍 The erosion of affordable housing is not affecting every community equally. A 2026 study found concentrated levels of tenant displacement in the lower-income and heavily racialized communities of Scarborough, North York, and Etobicoke. 👉 These findings demonstrate how the financialization of housing can deepen existing inequalities. When affordable rental homes are lost, lower-income, racialized, and immigrant tenants face a greater risk of being pushed out of their communities. 🔗 Read our latest blog to learn more about who is most affected by financialization and tenant displacement: buff.ly/yNIvq8w #FairRentOntario #FinancializationOfHousing #TenantDisplacement #HousingEquity #AffordableHousing #HousingStability @workersac @Campaign2000 @FeedOntario @UnityHealthTO @WNHHNetwork @ISAC_Ontario @OntarioACORN @ACORNCanada @TenantsUnionTO @ricardo_tranjan @ccpa _ @djnontario @TorontoTenants @nodemovictions @nyhfb

🏘️ How does financialization of housing unfold and drive tenant displacement? It often follows a predictable cycle: 1️⃣ Acquire or Undermaintain A Housing Unit: Large and small corporate landlords purchase existing stocks of affordable rental housing. 2️⃣ Existing Repairs & Maintenance Are Often Neglected: Landlords or property owners may delay or neglect essential repairs and maintenance to avoid the cost of maintaining the property. 3️⃣ Push Sitting Tenants Out: Through renovictions, buyout offers, harassment, or deteriorating living conditions that make staying difficult. 4️⃣ Vacancy Decontrol Kicks In: Once a tenant vacates the unit, the landlord can raise the rent for a new tenant by any amount. 5️⃣ Re-rent & Profit: Unit is relisted at much higher rents, boosting landlord revenue and investor returns. 🔄 The cycle repeats and results in housing becoming less affordable while increasing displacement in communities across Ontario. 🔗 Learn more about the connection between financialization, vacancy decontrol, and housing stability in our latest blog: buff.ly/yNIvq8w #FRO #FinancializationOfHousing #VacancyDecontrol #HousingStability #AffordableHousing @workersac @Campaign2000 @FeedOntario @UnityHealthTO @WNHHNetwork @ISAC_Ontario @OntarioACORN @ACORNCanada @TenantsUnionTO @ricardo_tranjan @ccpa @djnontario @TorontoTenants @nodemovictions @nyhfb

To no one's surprise, rents for working class tenants are not going down with the increase in supply. There is no "filtering". @CMHC_ca will continue to parrot the supply arguments, while working class tenants will continue to face displacement from our homes – at Vaughan, Ontario

Canada is falling short on economic & social rights We have the resources of a human-rights leader. The latest intern'l data shows we're failing. Our problem isn't that the standard is beyond our reach. It’s that we're choosing to fall short. #canpoli policyoptions.irpp.org/2026/…

The pixelation of poverty There was a time when govts at least claimed responsibility for ensuring the most vulnerable people in society had enough income to survive. Today that commitment has become increasingly difficult to find. #CdnPoli #ONpoli open.substack.com/pub/maytre…
