Toronto Tenant UnionWhat do we do now that Bill 60 is taking effect? Do we go back home afraid about the roof over our heads? Do we go back to accepting neglectful landlords and endless rent increases?
Instead, let's take action. Let's get organized. We know we are stronger together. Join the Toronto Tenant Union at our orientation!
📆 DATE: May 2nd, 2026
🕓 TIME: 4 PM
📍 WHERE: York South-Weston Community Hub, 2575 Eglinton Ave W, Toronto ON M6M 1T3

We’ll share food, get to know some of the other people who have collectively knocked 10,000 doors to fight Bill 60, and discuss how YOU can get involved in ongoing tenant organizing.
Come learn about what we can do together to build tenant power with our neighbours and force real change in Toronto!
After the orientation please stick around as we'll host a family friendly movie screening at 6 pm.

Voters head to polls in 3 federal byelections that could deliver majority Liberal government | CBC News
Voters in two Ontario ridings and one in Quebec will head to the polls on Monday for a slate of crucial federal byelections that could deliver the Liberals a majority government — cementing their hold on power for the next few years.
I can't decide if the Liberal party is the party of big business and lower regulation and the status quo but everything also allowing women and minorities to play too, or the party of the central Canadian professional class. (Where the Conservative party would be for all of the first but more for white Canadians, or the party of the Calgary and western Canadian professional class.)
Also the usual criticism of the Liberal party for never growing their own leaders but reaching out to recruit whoever they need at the time. If you want to be a Liberal prime minister don't start by being a Liberal back-bencher.
She reminds me of Tom Wappel who was always a Liberal.
In Mr. Nenshi's revealing reaction to the election of Avi Lewis to lead the NDP, he defends the oil industry arguing that it provides "good jobs". In fact the opposite is true. (https://afl.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Exporting-Profits-Report-October-2025.pdf) The fallacy behind this myth needs to be understood. (contd.)

Amazing how "exceptional times" involve doing all the things certain demographics want to do in very unexceptional times. Namely reducing environmental regulations to speed fast-tracking resource extraction projects with government loans to dubious mining industry figures.
I love living in a country with no more ambition than to be a branch plant.
