Greedy landlords caused the housing affordability crisis — now they want you to feel sorry for them.
“Rents in Montreal are now so high that landlords are reportedly ‘struggling to find tenants’ — failing to acknowledge that their incessant price-gouging is the root cause.”

“Soraya Martinez Ferrada breathlessly defended Airbnbs as 'mom-and-pop operations' run by snowbirds just trying to earn an extra buck. As if we don't know that the real issue with Airbnbs is large-scale operators destroying our rental market by removing hundreds of units at a time.”

I ran for office for Montreal's nightlife community — and against landlords, Airbnb apologists and NIMBY creeps
I ran as a Transition Montréal candidate in the 2025 Montreal election, and all I got was 100 leftover campaign tshirts I can't sell.

“Canada’s left-leaning political parties and politicians must recognize that the only ones holding them back are themselves. There’s now officially no excuse — bold campaigns will win the day. As for Montreal, we can never sit out an election again: just like the rent, the stakes are too damn high.”
