hey yall i’ve been sick for 2 days now and so i had to use my credit card to buy soup, gatorade (for electrolytes) and cough drops today. i was able to steal like $30 but the rest was bulky so i had to pay for it. if i could just get $20 to pay off my credit card i’d be set.

work has been slow (like 2hrs a week slow) and this was really unexpected so i didn’t have money set aside for this :’) but if 10 people sent $2 i’d be set! of course no pressure to reblog but if you do thank you sm 💙 i’ll turn off reblogs when i hit 20! love you guys

$10 / 20 !!! thank you!! 💕

Ariane Lalonde pays more than $1,200 a month for a studio apartment she's converted to a two bedroom in Montreal — and she's had enough.

"We're all paying way too much," said Lalonde, who feels that she should be paying at most $800 or $900 for the space she's renting.

"My generation, we won't be able to have a house," she said. "I never thought I would not be able to when I was young. I took that for granted. It's insane."

I spend a lot of time trying to fight injustice and failing spectacularly. It’s usually just me, you see, and as my nemesis is usually the British government in some form or another, ‘just me’ is rarely enough people to make much of a dent in a monolithic concern like the neoliberal government that has run this country into the ground since the late 1970’s.

Sadiq Khan said the data showed how the Government’s failure to ban the evictions — also known as section 21 notices — had been a “huge betrayal”.

Quebec's new housing bill is a step closer to becoming law, promising to protect tenants -- but housing advocates are uneasy.  Bill 31 was introduced as a way to improve tenant rights amid the current housing crisis, but critics say some aspects of the proposed law are working against renters.
