With the provincial election in just five days, we planned on making a splash in media (which hopefully we did &#8211; check CityNews around 6pm and CBC) to share our provincial platform: to ban Above-Guideline Rent Increases (AGIs), LTB (Landlord and Tenant Board) reform, and real rent control. We invited all candidates to speak in this matter, however only MPP candidate Kristyn Wong-Tam showed up. Some members petitioned the streets to get out the vote, many spoke about their own experience with AGIs &#8211; and we all, collectively and in solidarity made the effort to change the outcome for renters.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
