Enough is Enough

Yesterday, tenants from York South-Weston joined friends and allies from across the province at Queen's Park.

From wages that aren’t keeping up, to sky-high housing costs, to longer and longer hospital wait times, Ontarians deserve better. On the one-year anniversary of Doug Ford’s re-election, we took to the streets to say: ‘enough is enough!’

We know that when working people come together, we win.

The rally had five key demands:
- real wage increases
- keep schools and health care public
- affordable groceries, gas, and basic goods
- rent control and affordable housing
- make banks and corporations pay

It was fantastic marching with friends and supporters from across the city. This is what solidarity looks like!
