“Lease transfers, once an effective tool that kept rents down, were effectively eliminated by CAQ Housing Minister France-Élaine Duranceau. This isn’t surprising given that Duranceau was in the real-estate flipping business.”

Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
