We launched a new series on rent @TheLocal_TO today. Here’s my editor’s letter on own-use evictions and why pretending the housing situation is a universally experienced “crisis” and not a huge windfall for some isn’t all that useful. thelocal.to/housing-crisis-r…

How We Misunderstand the Housing Crisis | The Local

(Some will say this is not the time. I disagree. This is the time when every mixed emotion needs to find voice.) Since his arrest in January, 2011, I have known more about the events that began this...

If you see me unsubscribe from your newsletter, there's a good chance it's because I actually subscribed _twice_ with different emails and only recently realized it. 🙃
