Renters across Canada are facing increasing challenges in their homes. Many are facing excessive rent increases they cannot afford, which are leading to their “economic eviction.” Many have little option but to live in poorly maintained and unsafe homes. Many are facing discriminatory and illegal behaviour from some landlords, with little recourse to protect their rights.
The laws that should protect renters from these housing challenges differ based on where they live. It is unfair that renters in Canada do not enjoy the same basic legal protections to live securely in their homes.
We’re joining the Canadian Centre for Housing Rights (CCHR) in calling on our federal government to take steps to ensure that renters across Canada have basic legal protections so they can live in secure homes.
In under two minutes, you can send a letter to the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and the Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion, Ahmed Hussen, through CCHR’s website. Send a Letter

NOW: Scars and Stars with Jesse Thistle
This week, we are joined by Jesse Thistle, author of the top-selling memoir, From the Ashes, to discuss his just-released poetry book, Scars and Stars.
Jesse is Métis-Cree, from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and an assistant professor in Humanities at York University in Toronto. He has experienced various aspects of homelessness, including three years of what he describes as "absolute homelessness" and seven years of living in precarious housing situations—such as shelters and couch surfing.
On this week's episode, we talk to Jesse about his new book of love poems, Scars and Stars, a profound collection that expands on the ideas and experiences that have shaped his body of work thus far. You don't want to miss it!
