Evictions For The People: The Cost of Sheltering in Place in Canada Pt. 1

Eviction bans have now ended in every province. So with only BC providing a $500 rent relief program, the #CERB ending, and months of high unemployment, it looks like there's a looming eviction crisis coming for renters Canada! We look at how tenant unions went on a #RentStrike, and then protested Doug Ford's eviction accelerator #Bill184, as well who holds the balance of power between renters and landlords in Ontario (for the most part).

Stay tuned for Pt. 2 coming soon!
