legal clinic worker in Parkdale, Toronto.
A five-song demo that attempts to make its own way, drawing from a deep well of musical influences, while still respecting convention.

Bleak, yet hopeful. Harsh, but catchy and melodic. For better or worse, Entroper walks its own path.

Faced with questions about the thousands of eviction applications they file, these landlords used to respond that it is not their job to house low-income people. Now, they just deny that eviction filings are evictions at all

Even more so, I hope that it can inspire tenant activists of today to see themselves as part of a long historical tradition and to reflect upon past experiences.

Recent articles about Ontario landlords targeting racialized tenants for eviction have failed to mention the successful rent strike in Thorncliffe Park and to see the Ontario government's proposed changes to the eviction rules as a response to Thorncliffe tenants' organizing
