@facegetcake @JonBell888 @pmprometheus_ @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai They should simply give a medal made out of some unobtainable material if you or your organization makes a billion dollars & then that’s it you’ve won the game. You don’t need any more. 😩

@TenantsUnionTO @JonBell888 @pmprometheus_ @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Absolutely! That's why we need unions. This insane idea that landlords, and corporations in general, need to increase profits every year is bananas

Toronto organizers just formed the biggest tenant union in the city’s history. @saima_desai reports from the launch of @TenantsUnionTO, as they organize to tilt the scales of housing power.

@Jenna_bee__ @JonBell888 @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai We’re sorry to hear that, please email us at info@tenantunion.ca

Mine pretends to be transitional housing so that it cn screw us harder, transitional, i've been here 16 years and just heard transitional last year. Some have been here 20 years and still there is a "housing worker" the buiilding bully rats to, and not for doing anything wrong, just because they can because they pretend to be transitional. No one has a case plan, we never heard of it.

@JonBell888 @pmprometheus_ @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Well many people might not be able to afford higher education anymore & higher education doesn’t guarantee a job let alone a higher pay. Minimum wage shouldn’t mean it’s not a livable wage 👻

@TenantsUnionTO @pmprometheus_ @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai I didn't like the "wages" I was making as a grocery store employee so....I went back to school at night, improved myself and got a better job. That's what responsible people do. We are so lucky to live in such a prosperous country where anyone can work hard and better themselves.

@Jenna_bee__ @JonBell888 @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai There’s lots of factors including low wages & ODSP rates, insufficient supply of affordable housing, not enough coop & social housing, no real rent control & so on 😭

@JonBell888 @TenantsUnionTO @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Well, aren't you lucky. I paid my rent on time too, but rent has gone up 167% thanks to bad liberal policy, people are getting priced out, not because they are bad, but because they are not as rich as Jon.

@JonBell888 @pmprometheus_ @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai We can definitively verify & say there certainly are human rights that are enshrined in this country. In our experiences it’s usually the landlords behaving likes pests but we’re glad you’ve not personally faced such landlords because we’d not hope anyone faces such landlords 😈

@TenantsUnionTO @pmprometheus_ @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai When everything is "a basic human right", nothing is valued anymore. There are no human rights. You get out of life what you put into it. You want to behave like trash, that's what you get. Those are the only 'tenants' having problems.

@TheBreachMedia @saima_desai @TenantsUnionTO Thanks for the continued great independent reporting.

@SidewalkSeedli1 @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Don't be a landlord. Problem solved? 😇

@TheBreachMedia @saima_desai @TenantsUnionTO Don't rent. Problem solved.

@JonBell888 @Jenna_bee__ @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Have you even dealt with landlords that consider tenants as risk free income & a way to pay off their mortgages? 🫵

@Jenna_bee__ @TenantsUnionTO @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai No one is treated like "garbage" unless they choose to behave like "garbage". Try treating others with the same dignity and respect you expect to be treated with.

@Thumprr01 @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Some landlords can definitely be parasites 😭

@TheBreachMedia @saima_desai @TenantsUnionTO The professional victims, parasites & takers unite.

@JonBell888 @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Landlords don't respect the signed lease &/or the RTA, many such cases 😇

@TenantsUnionTO @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Landlords have a right to live as per the signed lease, to be free from harassment, have the rent paid on time, have their properties kept clean, and so on.

@facegetcake @JonBell888 @pmprometheus_ @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Even rental prices are unreasonably high especially if you earn minimum wage or are on fixed income 😭

@JonBell888 @TenantsUnionTO @pmprometheus_ @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Lol don't rent??? Have you seen housing prices?

@JonBell888 @pmprometheus_ @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Simpler fix: Decommodify housing 😈

@TenantsUnionTO @pmprometheus_ @TheBreachMedia @saima_desai Simple fix: don't rent.
