Power has been fully restored (Returned at about 1:45am) #ONStorm

73% of Canadians believe non-profit housing is a solution to the housing crisis. 4% of Canada’s housing is non-market. In the Netherlands it’s over 30%. What we lack is political support and funding. Time to demand leaders step up. They're dragging their feet for profit.

A rights-based housing policy means prioritizing people over profits. Climate change is costing lives and homes. Climate resilience needs to be built into housing policy, and Federal housing platforms. Fund eco-retrofits and guarantee right of return! buff.ly/PqkVdEE

You can build all the homes you want, but if they’re luxury condos it won’t help low-income families, workers, or seniors. Market-rate rentals aren't a reasonable metric when we know that we are in an inflated market. Supply alone is an investment, it's not a policy.

In anticipation of the RentSafeTO's maintenance audit of 500 Dawes Rd, building staff (once again) rushed to paint over signs of water damage; contracting tenants in the process Signs of ongoing water damage are emerging again City of Toronto 🇨🇦 continues to fail tenants #TOpoli

Our Tenants' Association continues to monitor signs of water penetration/damage throughout the basement level of 500 Dawes Rd The situation continues to worsen and we have demanded that City of Toronto 🇨🇦 (MLS, Rentsafe, Public Health) give 500 Dawes Rd their immediate attn #TOPoli

Brad Bradford✌️ Don't let this distract from the fact that you campaigned on addressing the squalor tenants reliving in at 500 Dawes Rd and have accomplished nothing since 2018. Brad Bradford✌️ Populist rhetoric means nothing when you ignore the most vulnerable in your own ward... #TOpoli

Our Tenants' Association has spent the last 5 months trying to obtain records from court staff re. the City of Toronto 🇨🇦 's prosecution of Havcare Investments (the corp owner of 500 Dawes Rd) for property standards violations Today, we've asked Mayor Olivia Chow 🇨🇦 to intervene #TOpoli

UPDATE: The mayor's office has responded and will be contacting senior City of Toronto 🇨🇦 staff at court operations to inquire The open court principle is a cornerstone of Canada's justice system Tenants at 500 Dawes are entitled to transparency and accountability #TOpoli

Major power outtage along Dawes Road and through the neighboring area. A tree located at 65/75 Halsey Ave. (Halsey Ave. at Dawes Rd.) has caused the outtage; downed following this evening's heavy rainfall and wind. Toronto Maple Leafs fans on Dawes are understandably fuming. #Topoli

Upon closer inspection, it seems like the tree at 65/75 Halsey Ave. was dead or dying. City of Toronto 🇨🇦 should have more trees along inspected as parts of the tree canopy along the north end of Dawes seem neglected. #TOpoli #Toronto

Power has been restored on Dawes.

Pooling water in the laundry room at 500 Dawes Road. The going rumor is that the landlord sealed the drain with cement a few years ago. The City of Toronto 🇨🇦 has still not addressed this hazard (among many others) despite numerous complaints launched by tenants. #TOpoli

Cryptic notice from the Mngmt of 500 Dawes Rd, re an apparent homocide or suicide that occurred at the building more than 10 years ago The matter seems to have involved woman falling to her death from a balcony Why is management asking tenants for information now? #TOPoli

ACORN is featured in the London Review of Books review of Against Landlords by Nick Bano. It highlights what we do best: turn fear & isolation into collective power. Ruby’s story shows how organising is our way out. Join the fight. 📖 lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/…

Statement from the Dawes Rd Tenants' Association re. the Ombudsman's report on the City's handling of a vital services outtage The report has confirmed what tenants have suspected is happening @ Municipal Licensing & Standards: inadequate training and an anti-tenant bias #TOpoli

Statement from the Dawes Rd Tenants' Association re the proposed demonstrations or "bubble" By-Law & amendments to suppress demonstrations near certain infastructute being pushed forward in council by James Pasternak & local councillor Brad Bradford✌️ We are not in support #TOpoli

Fascinating. The amount of time Brad Bradford✌️ has spent ignoring the deplorable living conditions of people in his own Ward; virtually absent for the entirety of Council's questions to MLS staff regarding their failure to respond to tenants, as detailed in an Ombudsman's Report.
