Ontario bill would look at ‘alternative options’ for ending residential leases, scrap Toronto green roof bylaw. Here are the highlights
The Ford government has tabled an omnibus bill that would make changes to a whole suite of laws and regulations, from green roofs to tenant evictions and driver’s licences.

@tedhsu.bsky.social Hi. The Ford government's proposed end to security of tenancy in their new omnibus bill is very alarming. Landlords will be able to evict according to market conditions, business strategy, or personsal reasons. This would worsen the housing crisis. FYI. Thank you.

Anecdotally what I'm seeing a lot is patients either avoiding the emerg completely or leaving after several hrs of waiting.
Then they wait days or weeks to see me in the office, which is often not appropriate or safe.
Sometimes, I have to send them straight back to the emerg. This is really bad.

Until you get to the part where you realize people with complex needs are just left behind. And behind is encampments. And Onterrible just passed a law to clear them and criminalize homelessness.
