VSPME borough fails to pass renovation bylaw
Protesters in Park Extension held a demonstration Wednesday in support of a bylaw blocking landlords from converting multiple rental spaces (typically duplexes) into single-family houses, but the Villeray-St-Michel-Parc-Ex council failed to pass the bylaw. Tenants’ rights groups fear more renovictions if living spaces are removed in this way.

Giuliana Fumagalli spoke out against this getting blocked – for all that she got thrown under the bus by PM just like Sue Montrgomery it looks like she’s on the right side of history. I know a lot of community activists in Parc Ex and it’s getting ugly. Landlords are now simply harassing tenants into leaving, not even the pretense of renovictions.
