Unity doesn’t mean uniformity. If you want to reignite Canadian pride we don’t need a mythologized past. We need a livable future. One where no kid is hungry and no elder sleeps in a shelter. ACORN is working uniting communities for a socially just future buff.ly/CcEkblJ

ACORN Ottawa South members rallied today to demand the federal government crack down on REITs like Starlight, Hazelview, and Brookfield. Tenants are done living with pests, black mold, and neglect. It’s time to stop financialized landlords and fund real affordable housing.

When tenants spend 10% of income on energy—they’re stuck. Stuck in old inefficient buildings with no control over heating, poor insulation, and rising fees. Canada globally has some of the least regulated energy markets. Look to the profits & demand better buff.ly/XrtW2uN

When politicians say “cut red tape,” ask: which tenant protections are they gutting? Financialization is pushing people out of their homes. If we want rights–based housing strategy we need a government that’ll end corporate landlords. Make that demand NOW: buff.ly/kQZQSkF

We are seeing record inequality: the top 20% own 63% of housing wealth. The bottom 40%? 2%. This is about systemic oppression and access to power. And it’s producing mass eviction and homelessness. Don’t let governments off the hook. This is an emergency. buff.ly/1PqH6Cp

Rent control helped stop a housing crisis in the 1970s. Canada’s history tells the story: rent control and social housing stabilize inflation. Between 1975–1978 housing prices dropped 30% due to these policies. It takes political will—and public pressure. buff.ly/OorxsUN

The wealth gap now sits at 47.1 percentage points, the highest in modern history. That’s a red flag for our economy and our democracy. Lower-income families spent more on debt than they gained from wages. How many reports before we see systemic change? buff.ly/yCSWOiQ

Homeownership in Canada is increasingly inherited, not earned. In 2023, 4 in 10 homeowners received familial support to get into the market. If housing continues to be passed through intergenerational wealth, we risk turning Canada into a landlord nation. buff.ly/FtlVMBX
