A long-form article was written in Maclean’s in 2023 that covers a tenant action involving the York South-Weston Tenant Union in Toronto that culminated in a rental strike and the Toronto Mayor getting directly involved.

It gives background on people living in a building where the rent legally increased higher than the maximum usually allowed. The strike was bolstered by another building in solidarity even though the people there were likely to be in a better socio-economic position based on the rental prices of that building.

Our own Pierce Nettling of the Victoria Tenants Union is mentioned, commenting on the unprecedented involvement of a mayor recognizing a tenant’s union.

The article also gives a book explanation of the causes of the current housing crisis. It mentions not just supply-side, but also the build-up of housing as investment for corporations. Basically, the housing market is a cartel.
