Catching up on last night's messages to the #KeepYourRentHamilton hotline. Talking w/ tenants from across Hamilton who are outright unable to afford rent &/or worried about money going into May and June, and deciding to keep their rent.
#KeepYourRentHamilton #HamOnt - a thread. Being a Landlord is not a job. Owning and renting out property is an investment. In fact, up until a few weeks ago, it was one of the most lucrative investments in Canadian investment history. 1/
There's a war in #HamOnt. It's Landlords & Developers -vs- the Working Class. Linda stood and fought for her community, facing a billion dollar R.E.I.T. Now they tryna punish her w/ eviction. RALLY AT THE LTB FOR LINDA! FRI MAR 29 9am! KING ST, J-SQUARE! ✊
@J_Scott_ & how many big money Ontario Proud backers are funding YOUR org @RentersRightsON (the shady 'tenants rights' / Landlord front you work for)? Or do you plan to just keep ducking that question to keep your 'progressive' social media persona in tact? #onpoli
@J_Scott_ Frustrating how you share these hot ‘progressive’ takes about the working class / affordability etc.. while being sole employee of @RentersRightsON - a landlord lobby, repping the interests of those displacing 10s of thousands of ON’s poorest families #onpoli
@LooniePolitics "trusted independent news source" requires a refresher on the ethics of publishing paid-for content as news. This is trash. Paid for by community-wrecking scumbag landlords of Ontario. Shame on you. And shame on your faux-progressive toadie staff. #cdnpoli
@J_Scott_ Scott (@RentersRightsON) 2018: "Rent strikes are not a legally recognized option for a tenant to take against a landlord" The 63 march was illegal. Would you have taken money to criticize the march like you do now.. getting paid to attack tenant organizing?
@J_Scott_ @LooniePolitics Your latest in @LooniePolitics is a smoke screen for the provinces’ landlord lobby. Is your publisher ok with you presenting this as news without disclosing this MASSIVE GLARING conflict of interest? #cdnpoli
@LooniePolitics How is this PR drivel news? How are you a ‘trusted independent news source’ when you publish this garbage without disclosing your staff’s conflict of interest? @J_Scott_ = @RentersRightsON .. a known Landlord lobby front. Do you fact check? #cdnpoli
@J_Scott_ @LooniePolitics @J_Scott_ : My latest in @LooniePolitics is an open letter bought & paid for by a billion dollar landlord lobby that wants to scrub their greedy image, during the worst housing crisis Cdn history. Check out @RentersRightsON. I am the sole employee. #cdnpoli
@J_Scott_ @LooniePolitics You out here bashing Ford and Trump all day.. meanwhile, giving PR cover to THE MOST GREEDY SUPER-CAPITALIST FORCES IN OUR PROVINCE. Your politics are empty. Like your soul.
@LooniePolitics Why are you publishing this Landlord PR-flack's whitewash as "news"? Are all your writers bought n paid for by billion dollar lobby groups? Or just @J_Scott_ , sole employee of landlord lobby front @RentersRightsON? Shame on you! This is garbage #cdnpoli
@J_Scott_ @LooniePolitics Please be sure to outline who funds the "Renters Rights & Information Association" you are the sole employee of.. and how your Landlord bosses are using a PR flack (you) to squash working class tenant organizing and whitewash their community-wrecking greed
Landlords are paying former Liberal Party PR person @J_Scott_ to run a website aimed at discouraging tenants from organizing together and instead rely on advice from the LTB

All of these tenants have begun doing the important work: connecting w. their neighbours, building contact lists, & working on a collective communication/response for their landlord(s). They know they are stronger together #KeepYourRentHamilton
Spoke with a woman on OW. She got by month to month from a pair of PT jobs, both of which have stopped. If she pays rent, she'll have less than $100/month to live on. She is keeping her rent. #KeepYourRentHamilton

We say – food, family, friends and medicine before Landlords! If you can’t pay rent, don’t. And if you CAN pay rent, don’t. Stand in solidarity with renters across Ontario that have nothing left to give. Shut it down #KeepYourRent 10/10
w/ widespread economic uncertainty, prices rising on food & basics, & thousands of tenants unsure if they'll have a job in the coming weeks – why are we asking tenants to ‘take 1 for the team’ so Landlords can remain insulated from economic reality? 9/
Hamilton renters are HURTING. Many could not pay rent on Apr.1. Many MANY more will be unable to pay on May.1. Many just handed over what little they have to their landlord, and are now scouring ‘emergency funding’ sites to feed their families. 8/
CMHC data showed - rent in the lower city of Hamilton rose as high as 42%, from 2012-2017. Then, In 2018, Hamilton had the highest average rent increase in Canada, with an additional 24%. 7/
An October 2019 Ipsos poll showed - Nearly half (48%) of Canadians are $200 or less away from financial insolvency (+4), a proportion that already includes 29% who cannot meet their debt obligations and are insolvent at month-end. 6/
While every other industry/sector adjusts to the new COVID reality - the Canadian housing market expects to not miss a beat, and demands that the buck stop with (checks notes) RENTERS. The most financially precarious of all Canadians 5/
Around the world, rents are frozen & cancelled. But here it’s PAY UP – as working class folks are told to sacrifice their safety, security and well-being in order to the carry the housing market safely through the greatest economic downturn of a generation 4/
Fast forward to COVID-19. EVERY OTHER INVESTMENT SECTOR of the world’s economy has taken a massive beating. Investors and companies are scrambling to stabilize their businesses and make adjustments to weather the crisis. 3/
Turns out (over)charging working class people for a basic box they can call home - in the midst of the worst affordable housing crisis in our nation's history – can make ALOTTA money for investors. 2/
