Thorncliffe Park tenants on rent strike disrupted an @OntarioCofC event last week that @NorthcrestDev CEO Derek Goring was participating in. Northcrest is a subsidiary of our landlord PSP Investments. Tenants pressed our demand that PSP withdraw the AGIs at our buildings.

BREAKING: Landlord and Tenant Board Vice Chair Egya Sangmuah has confirmed his decision to fast-track the hearings for PSP Investments’ and Starlight Investments’ AGI applications and denied tenants’ request to change the format of the hearings. Our statement:

The Union of Taxation Employees Local 00048 has launched a campaign in support of our rent strike. Workers whose pensions are managed by PSP Investments don’t want their pensions being used to price Thorncliffe Park tenants out of their homes. ute-local48.org/urgent-call-fo…

Yesterday, rent strikers from Thorncliffe Park flyered at an open house for PSP Investments’ Downsview Airport project, where @InvestPSP operates under the name Northcrest Developments. Tenants shared news of our fight against PSP Investments’ above guideline rent increases.

As we start the sixth month of our rent strike, tenants at 71 Thorncliffe Park have been told they won’t have access to their front entrance until the end of the year. In the meantime, this is what it looks like for people returning home.

ਮੋਰਚਾ ਫਤਹਿ: VICTORY! After 33 days of continuous protest outside Live Freely Foods, 37 bakery workers have recovered $185K in wages from the bankrupt company. This victory, achieved through struggle rather than the legal system, is a product of organization & solidarity.✊🏽

Last week PSP Investments released its Sustainable Investment Report. How does the public sector pension reconcile its commitment to "sustainable investing" with seeking rent hikes that displace tenants in Thorncliffe Park and filing to evict tenants on rent strike? twitter.com/tparktenants/s…

Whether at the forefront or in the background, Diane was a vital part of many of the struggles in Parkdale. She will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by hundreds of working class people. No small feat. She led a life worthy of our respect, gratitude, and admiration.

This past week, Parkdale lost a cherished member of our community. Diane Rajaram was an anchor in our neighbourhood. A mother, PSW, thorn in the side of landlords, and an invaluable support to her neighbours.

BREAKING: Organized LFF bakery workers recover $50K more in wages, totalling $100K so far since their daily protest began on Aug 28. LFF’s owner says that he will submit a payment plan in writing for the remaining amount today. The workers’ protest continues. Stay tuned.

PSP Investments Senior Vice President Mélanie Bernier was at the @ACPM_ACARR conference to share insights on governance and responsible investing. When confronted by tenants on rent strike, Mélanie chose not to defend @InvestPSP's actions in Thorncliffe and instead ran away. twitter.com/tparktenants/s…

Thorncliffe Park tenants interrupted a panel PSP Investments was participating in today at the Association of Canadian Pension Management’s National Conference in Ottawa to press our demand that PSP withdraw the above guideline rent increases at our buildings.

ICYMI @TheHoserMedia covered how the Landlord and Tenant Board has moved to break the Thorncliffe Park rent strike, at the request of landlords @InvestPSP and Starlight thehoser.ca/posts/ltb-side…

Tenant families from 135 and 118 Tyndall; 200, 160, and 109 Jameson; 1430 and 1251 King; 55 Triller and the West Lodge towers came together to plan this event from start to finish -- no big sponsorships, no staff, no funding. Just working class families working together.

Last weekend, Parkdale tenants got together for our annual end of summer party. The day was filled with facepaint, bubbles, bouncy castles, school supplies and food. But the best part is that the event is put on by Parkdale tenants for Parkdale tenants.

The Landlord and Tenant Board made the shocking decision to fast-track @InvestPSP and Starlight's AGI hearings based on a series of false claims by the landlords. Now that the LTB has shared the pathetic evidence they relied on, the decision is even more indefensible. twitter.com/tparktenants/s…

We finally received the "evidence" our landlords sent to the LTB to support their request to fast-track the AGI hearings for our buildings: 1. a social media post from 2021 by an unrelated tenant group 2. a photo of a dozen tenants holding a banner following a letter delivery

“We feel that our landlords and the LTB are trying to break this rent strike” Read about the LTB fast-tracking the AGI hearings for our buildings in @TheHoserMedia: thehoser.ca/posts/ltb-side…

"We are in the same building. We are living together. We are a community. As long as we are living here and we have phone numbers, we will continue talking to each other,” said Sandeep Sarin. On the organizing at 1570 Lawrence West, the LTB win, & future: mediacoop.ca/node/119165

Good coverage from @CP24 of the LTB deciding to fast-track the above guideline rent increase applications for our buildings, at the request of @InvestPSP and Starlight Investments We call on the LTB to reverse its decision cp24.com/mobile/news/lt…

The tenants at Thorncliffe Park could really use our support gofundme.com/f/thorncliffe-… twitter.com/tparktenants/s…

The LTB has moved to break the rent strike in Thorncliffe Park, at the behest of landlords @InvestPSP and Starlight, based on false claims by the landlords' lawyer twitter.com/CTVToronto/sta…

The Landlord and Tenant Board fast-tracked the AGI hearings at the landlords' request. The LTB made this decision based on false claims made by the landlords. The LTB falsely claims that Thorncliffe Park tenants benefit from the decision, a decision that tenants oppose. twitter.com/tparktenants/s…
