AGIs have been systematically used by landlords to circumvent Ontario's rent regulation system & generate substantive profit. @ccpa's new report breaks down the flawed rationale behind AGIs, and the weaknesses in the calculation formula. monitormag.ca/reports/rent-c…
The more the richest 40,000 Canadians (top 0.1%) tantrum about having to declare 66.7% of their capital gains *above* $250K/yr (while the rest of us have to declare 100% of our humble labour income), the stronger these poll numbers are gonna become. Please carry on!! #cdnpoli

@FrancesNunziata After being forced out of his home Alex joined dozens of neighbours rallying in support & solidarity outside the building. Because when our landlords with the help of the law, the LTB, our political representatives all fail us, the only people we can depend on is each other.

This capital gain debate is another distraction. The richest 20% owns 68% of Canada's wealth; the bottom 40% owns 3% (StatCan, Daily, 24-04-17). To change the distribution, we ought to heavily tax land rent - starting with capital gains on principal residences #canpoli
#Budget2024 includes just $2 billion over 5 years in net new climate spending. It's too soon for the federal government to rest on its climate laurels. monitormag.ca/articles/budge…

Notable about new federal Rental Protection Fund: its core funding is only $470 million spread across the entire country (plus $1B in loans). That's less than BC's homegrown version provides for our province alone ($500M). Which is striking given federal govt's deeper pockets

Our piece in @CDN_Dimension on why the capital gains increase is an important way to #TaxTheRich:
Contrary to the claims of right-wing economists, the capital gains tax hike will not kill the middle class and drive out investment. As Muneeb Javaid of @FairTaxCanada writes, this overdue measure will tax the rich to fund crucial public investments. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

Some news. I’m thrilled to share that I have accepted a new job as Chief of Staff at Waterfront Toronto. Values driven, community-based, and in partnership with all three orders of government and the non-profit and private sectors – it's city building at its best. I can’t wait.
I just sent Dream Unlimited a letter of solidarity with my neighbours fighting for fair rent at 33 King and 22 John at @YSWtenants. We need rent control to fix this housing crisis! Send a message:

Another excellent clip from our ED @katrinacecile’s interview with @Travisdhanraj on @CBCNews this week! Contrary to fear-mongering from wealthy lobbyists, this increase is an important way to #TaxTheRich
In which @SethDKlein declares Pierre Poilievre a “handmaiden to planetary arsonists”. 👇🏻🔥
My latest column is out, in which I unmask Poilievre's climate agenda. Here's a 🧵 with some takeaways... Today’s Conservatives not fit to lead in an emergency nationalobserver.com/2024/04/19/opi… via @NatObserver
AGIs have been systematically used by landlords to circumvent Ontario's rent regulation system & generate substantive profit. @ccpa's new report breaks down the flawed rationale behind AGIs, and the weaknesses in the calculation formula. monitormag.ca/reports/rent-c…
The more the richest 40,000 Canadians (top 0.1%) tantrum about having to declare 66.7% of their capital gains *above* $250K/yr (while the rest of us have to declare 100% of our humble labour income), the stronger these poll numbers are gonna become. Please carry on!! #cdnpoli
81% favour higher taxes on wealthier Canadians and large profitable corporations. 71% of CPC voters. d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/broadbent/page…
@FrancesNunziata After being forced out of his home Alex joined dozens of neighbours rallying in support & solidarity outside the building. Because when our landlords with the help of the law, the LTB, our political representatives all fail us, the only people we can depend on is each other.
Housing justice is not about circumventing 22 rules and trumping communities to make space for 10 investor luxury/short-term rentals. If you want to support development for the sake of it-YIMBY style-that’s cool. Just be real about who is to gain from it; it’s not the unhoused.
@ricardo_tranjan Land value tax would solve this
For @ricardo_tranjan A Renters' Bill of Rights should create a minimum set of standards for all provinces to follow, just like bargaining rights for workers: “You could definitely have a big impact in provinces that have few protections, like Alberta.” theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/ca…
In a province without rent caps, Calgary tenants have few options when their landlord jacks up the rent, making renting a precarious choice. With proper “teeth” the proposed Renters’ Bill of Rights could change this. archive.today/nRFEc
Hearing from @YSWtenants that this eviction attempt is ongoing. For @tvo, I recently wrote about this exact building, which is the subject of an ongoing Landlord and Tenant Board proceeding: tvo.org/article/its-ei…
Dream security guard from Logixx bring a SLEDGE HAMMER to kick a father and his family out of his home!
Right on. Although I’d call the budget changes to Capital Gains a step in the right direction.
This capital gain debate is another distraction. The richest 20% owns 68% of Canada's wealth; the bottom 40% owns 3% (StatCan, Daily, 24-04-17). To change the distribution, we ought to heavily tax land rent - starting with capital gains on principal residences #canpoli
@ricardo_tranjan Even some Bank economists have suggested that ending the family home exemption will also cool down the housing market increases Politically it will be a tough sell, but it's what's needed
