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:
This is not just about Alex and his family. It's about a housing crisis in our country that gives away public land to private corporations and forces working people on to the streets. @FrancesNunziata
This is not just about Alex and his family. It's about a housing crisis in our country that gives away public land to private corporations and forces working people on to the streets. @FrancesNunziata
@FrancesNunziata We have to ask ourselves, is this the kind of “affordable housing program” we want in our city? The city continues to give away public land to Dream Unlimited with no condition for rent control. Even the few tenants like Alex who were promised an “affordable unit” are at risk.
@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.
@FrancesNunziata While they force their way into Alex’ home City of Toronto’s private security, Logicxx refused to let Alex’ brother film what was happening. Alex and his brother repeatedly call on them to relax and deescalate.
@FrancesNunziata After removing all Alex’ neighbours who were bearing witness to his eviction, private security under contract to the city of Toronto, Logicxx, brought in a sledgehammer to tear down Alex’ door
@FrancesNunziata When Alex’ neighbours and tenant union representatives arrived to support him during his eviction, they were arrested and removed from they building.
Here’s Alex telling his story before his violent eviction. 22 John was built on city-owned land that was given away by @FrancesNunziata with no condition for rent control. Only condition was 20 “affordable units” out of 380. Alex was promised until they doubled his rent to $3K
Dream security guard from Logixx bring a SLEDGE HAMMER to kick a father and his family out of his home!
Michael Cooper, you evicted a toddler and we aren't going to let you do it quietly. Since you weren't at 22 John, we came to you to demand real affordable housing and protection for Alex's family NOW.
TONIGHT @ 6:30: EMERGENCY RALLY in support of Alex & his family who Dream Unlimited just evicted by sledgehammering his door after doubling his “affordable rent” Corporate greed on public land under @cityoftoronto’s “affordable housing plan” Come out tonight to support Alex!
After nearly seven months these North York renters are still refusing to pay rent — and have no plans to start trib.al/2lv9Z9x

@FrancesNunziata When Alex’ neighbours and tenant union representatives arrived to support him during his eviction, they were arrested and removed from they building.
Here’s Alex telling his story before his violent eviction. 22 John was built on city-owned land that was given away by @FrancesNunziata with no condition for rent control. Only condition was 20 “affordable units” out of 380. Alex was promised until they doubled his rent to $3K
⚡️PHONE ZAP TODAY⚡️ @FrancesNunziata played a key role in the development of 22 John St, where Dream Unlimited & private security under contract to the City of Toronto just forcefully evicted evicted Alex & his family by tearing down their door with a sledgehammer…🧵
Michael Cooper, you evicted a toddler and we aren't going to let you do it quietly. Since you weren't at 22 John, we came to you to demand real affordable housing and protection for Alex's family NOW.
TONIGHT @ 6:30: EMERGENCY RALLY in support of Alex & his family who Dream Unlimited just evicted by sledgehammering his door after doubling his “affordable rent” Corporate greed on public land under @cityoftoronto’s “affordable housing plan” Come out tonight to support Alex!
