【明報專訊】經常為弱勢群體倡權、在多市組織示威的民間機構ACORN﹐昨天(4日)為抗議租客可能遭驅逐在士嘉堡舉行抗議示威﹐卻遭逢多倫多業主協會的對峙。 Posted August 13, 2020 【明報專訊】經常為弱勢群體倡權、在多市組織示威的民間機構ACORN﹐昨天(4日)為抗議租客可能遭驅逐在士嘉堡舉行抗議示威﹐卻遭逢多倫多業主協會的對峙。後者高呼小業主的權利也同樣需要維護。業主中多為華人﹐他們講述了各自遭遇「租霸」的情形。 ACORN昨天下午1時15分在輕鐵米蘭路站集合﹐然後一路高喊「不准驅趕」、「住房是一種權利」等口號﹐來到米蘭路夾401公路處一個安省業主和租客委員會(LTB)門外示威。 昨天在士嘉堡的LTB委員會門前﹐雙方發生爭論。ACORN方的人們說﹐許多人是因為疫情的緣故﹐無法交房租。業主協會方面的人們說﹐疫情下業主也受到各種經濟打擊。他們也是困難重重。不能把租客受疫情打擊的帳都轉到小業主頭上,這樣做有失公平。 昨天是委員會停止有關欠租租客驅趕聆訊數月之後確定恢復的日子。按照ACORN的行動計劃﹐他們是要「佔領和關閉」這個委員會﹐並阻斷任何驅趕租客的聆訊的進行。但當他們到達委員會門外時﹐發現委員會已經閉門﹐無法入內佔領。 昨天有20至30人參加ACORN的示威。但是當他們在委員會門外展開抗議時﹐另外一些人也來到現場。他們舉着的標語口號說﹐「為業主權利追求公義」﹐「當局不應支持賴皮租客」﹐等。 參加示威的業主中﹐華人居多。他們各自有一本難念的經。 陳姓女士說﹐他們購買房屋時﹐西人租客已經住在其中。當時買房子是準備讓大學畢業當醫生的兒子住。早在疫情爆發前已經和租客商量﹐希望他搬走﹐並將作為押金的一個月租金也還給了他。但租客將錢花了﹐卻不搬走。…
