Investing in preserving affordable housing is absolutely critical, and this is a very good step forward. We think the province should launch a similar program. We also must protect renters in affordable rent-controlled apartments when their building is demolished and replaced…

This research is a clear signal that Ontario needs to do so much more to curb investors from snapping up multiple homes, pricing out renters who dream of owning just one home. Does the Ontario budget address this problem? Nope. #onpoli
