Canada is the world's leading producer of lentils - which are a good source of protein, iron, & fibre. They're cheap, can be used in a wide range of recipes and are shelf stable for a year if stored properly.

I just hope what isn't lost in all of this is that Ronald Reagan was a piece of shit

Meanwhile social welfare benefits barely cover rent. Disabled people will be forced into homelessness in droves.

In the middle of the greatest housing crisis in my lifetime, Doug Ford has decided to screw over millions of renters.

You thought homelessness was a problem NOW? Just wait.

HEY #Ontario Even if you don't rent, this WILL impact YOU & your loved ones. Ppl working at your local clinics, hospitals, your children's schools rent their homes. They deserve more housing security- NOT LESS.

Lets not make it ALL HOMES as bad as renting ones built after 2018. #HousingCrisis

Consider calling too. :) The Tory playbook is to hide like a bunch of weasels in hopes people won't bother trying

Another thing worth noting: nearly a quarter of Doug Ford's MPPs are Landlords. ismympalandlord.ca/en/on #onpoli #HamOnt

Not sure, a bit hard to determine from a quick search, "Rob Cooper" might as well be "John Smith"

Ford has had seniors on fixed incomes evicted from their homes from his removal of rent control in 2018. This is gonna be even worse

According to what I’ve been able to find, 30%-50% of the Canadian population rents. Changes to rental guidelines affects millions of people. Write your MPP.

… or if you ever have been a renter, or ever may be a renter again… or have family who was, is, or will be… this is a major change to the social contract in Ontario that cannot be ignored.

Which also effectively means eviction at will. How many people could swing a 400% rent hike?

The timing for Ford to pull this is perfect. People are distracted by the Jays in the World Series (just listen to Metro Morning today) and the firehose of shit in Washington.

Don’t let this fall through the cracks.

Yeah the basic job description of a PC or Liberal MP/MPP is to be a silent cardboard cutout

These proposed changes will just mean an even deeper housing crisis and more homelessness in every community across the province, just as Doug Ford's changes to rent control did after 2018 - overwhelmed shelters, homeless encampments in parks and deaths on the street.

If you're a renter in Ontario, you should know Doug Ford is trying to make it easier for your landlord to raise your rent or end your tenancy. #HamOnt #OnPoli

Doug Ford Moves to End Rent Control
Doug Ford announced proposed changes to the LTB that would strip away key tenant protections, fast-track evictions, and open the door to ending rent control as we know it in Ontario.
