Join the FMTA Petition to ban evictions
Just a note that evictions are set to return to Toronto, Peel Region and North Bay-Parry Sound on March 8. Evictions have already resumed across most of the province.
While eviction hearings have continued during the current ban, enforcement of evictions (the sheriff) has been suspended. Enforcement is set to continue next Monday.
Evictions spread COVID and kill people. We’ll continue to fight for a full ban on evictions during the pandemic.

Given the devastating effect that Bill 184 will have on vulnerable tenants across our province, I wonder if it would be an effective strategy to shine a light on those responsible for working to create this bill, namely The Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario and its main sponsors.
When we look at the The Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario website, we see that their main funders/donors are Bell and Rogers. One wonders what the effect of a boycott would have against Bell and Rogers for actively supporting an organization that has worked to undermine tenants rights in the province.
Imagine if all Ontario tenants were to cancel their Bell and Rogers accounts and find other providers?
