“Hopperton and Mills said the formal and informal processes are so ineffective that they discourage inmates from making complaints. They said inmates also fear going to the sergeant due to potential reprisal. “Most people don't complain; they just experience terrible things," 5/

Option 3: rent control Your government could get this done in less than a week. For free. Rent has tripled in my lifetime, your government is choosing to make this crisis worse. Your government is choosing murder.
We have two choices. We can sit back and ignore Ontario's housing crisis or we can build more homes. Our government is choosing to build.
