Canada has an *automated* system to share information about migrants with the U.S., and it was recently expanded to cover permanent residents of both countries. Info provided by Canada has been used to go after migrant rights activists in the past https://t.co/MLZXEgdhBi

This budget keeps giving. There’s tax relief for owners of vacant or underused residential property! You know people who own homes purely for its asset value and don’t have anyone living it’s it. So a break for the mostly, rich, non-resident, non-Canadians who have vacant homes.

Zohran Mamdani built an anti-loneliness campaign. He met voters who were attached to screens, isolated from the pandemic, spiritually unmoored — and got them out of the house, because the political, to them, was personal. W/ the wonderful @boreskes

NEW: Israel killed 104 Palestinians (and 46 children) in Gaza Tuesday, in a clear violation of the ceasefire. But mainstream media failed to accurately convey the severity of the moment, acting instead as a mouthpiece for the Israeli government. https://t.co/NosRMisLhY

At least some folks are happy about the Ford government's proposal to undermine tenant protections.
New law could effectively end rent control in Ontario, putting every single tenant at risk of losing their home. And yeah, the big corporate landlords love it. By me and @rdassaly for @TheGrindTO: https://t.co/qyyeQ5G2Ng

Doug Ford's conservative government is proposing the the biggest attack on Ontario renters and rental affordability in a generation. Not only would landlords be able to evict tenants without cause, but rent control in units built before 2018 would effectively be over.
I will be digging more into this later but, um, 🚨🚨🚨 the Ford government is looking to end Ontario's security of tenure rules - preventing tenants from automatically transitioning to month-to-month after their initial lease is up, and allowing landlords to refuse to renew

WATCH - I ask Premier Ford about the sky high Blue Jays resale ticket prices. He says he’s looking at potentially bringing back legislation to cap resale prices, something his government scrapped when they first took power. “They are gouging the people” he says of Ticketmaster.
