The tactic is out in the open. The loophole is the strategy.

BAN FIXED TERM LEASES.

It is the sworn duty of every Nova Scotian to make life incredibly annoying for every NSPC candidate until they commit to bringing back rent control, building affordable housing, and banning fixed term leases.

- Bring Back Rent Control
- Ban Fixed Term Leases (Close the Loophole)
- Buy & Build Affordable Housing

If you care about housing in Nova Scotia, these are your demands this election.

Psyching myself up for what will hopefully be a headline grabbing and conversation starting #NSACORN action tomorrow.

Mentally shitting myself at the thought of anything going wrong.

Send good vibes. The worry is winning.

Got a virtual meeting with Jill Balser today to talk about why fixed term leases are dogshit for Nova Scotia - both for people and the economy - and hopefully convince them to have them banned.

Wish me luck!

The fact that 180 tenants lost their homes in the Sackville fire is horrifying enough.

But the current housing market is going to compound the tragedy: where is there for these people, disproportionately older and retired, to go?

NS needs affordable housing and controlled rents now.

Nova Scotians, if you live in a seat likely to flip blue, you've gotta press your PC candidate when possible. They're going to decide our housing policy & unless they hear from voters, they're just going to feed our province their developer mates.

Healthcare is crumbling, schools are underfunded, the energy transition needs to be accelerated, and affordable housing needs to be built ASAP.

But Tim Houston would rather piss away the surplus on buying votes.

Correction: the loss of revenue is $260 million, not $160 million, as reported upthread.. Mea culpa.

A friend is helping organize a rally for affordable housing in Dartmouth this weekend! I think it'd be great if there was good turnout for this, especially ahead of the #NSACORN on the 23rd, so if you can make it, please do!

180 people stepped out, in the night, with just the clothes they had on. Many apartment owners don't have personal insurance. #Sackville is already a Tent City.

20 Acres with dozens of new apartments, none that I could not afford to rent.
#Housing, and community support is needed NOW.

Out at Grand Parade for the Draw the Line event. ##NSACORN is tabling, alongside the Workers Action Centre, Palestinian fundraisers, Seniors for Climate, and other environmental and social justice organizations.

It's welcome, but it's not enough.

Permanent rent control. End the fixed term lease loophole. Build genuinely affordable public housing wherever possible.

No one who isn't promising the above deserves your vote.

This went well, I think. Balser seemed to genuinely want to hear from us, and we were very clear about the role that fixed term leases play in undermining the rent cap and maintaining a culture of fear of reprisal among tenants.

We'll see what comes of it, if anything.

I'm never gonna not be pissed off that the NS government had 2 years of $200 million budget surpluses and decided the best use of it was "make traffic on the bridges worse".

$200m of investment annually would solve so many of NS's problems.

So #NSACORN has their biggest event of the year coming up on Sep 21st.

I really gotta flip my posting to local politics mode to try n boost turnout for that. Real chance to get council to give landlord licensing some teeth.

The rent cap at 5% is already too high when inflation is closer to 1-2%, but fixed term leases allow landlords to disregard even this basic guard rail.

If Tim Houston doesn't pledge to close this loophole, he needs to be booted out of office.

Sup HaliSky - if you fancy talking to ACORN folks IRL, me and one or two others are gonna be down at Alderney Landing in about an hour and a half, getting signatures for ACORN's petition for housing commitments from the big 3 parties.

Come chat and sign!

It seems so small in the face of another war that threatens to entangle my country - both original and adoptive - but the fight for human rights begins at home.

Ready to outreach for #NSACORN at tomorrow's Portland St Open Street event.

I've seen a lot in my time with #NSACORN, but this story is the singularly most cruel and horrible one I've ever encountered.

I've seen renovations, demovictions, pest problems - but they ripped her home from under her feet.
