To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
WHEREAS report after report are showing that the cost of living is rising in Ontario;
WHEREAS rents in cities and towns across Ontario are skyrocketing while Ontarians are struggling to afford their housing;
WHEREAS the costs of rent, groceries, gas and basic necessities continue to climb while developer insiders and greedy speculators are raking in record profits;
Therefore we the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to take immediate action to address the affordability crisis by:
- Tackling the housing crisis from all angles to make it easier to buy or rent a home;
- Raise wages for workers;
- Take on price-gouging corporations who are making our gas and groceries skyrocket;
- Invest in public health care instead of selling it off;
