Holy Shit....auto-correct...Disingenuous got corrected to Indigenous (?) above...let me try that again.
If Trudeau (or other MP's) can wade into a crowd of Thousands of Protesters for Selfie Photo Op's, then they can wade into Parliament to debate issues like a real democracy. Justin Trudeau's front stoop at 9:15AM daily isn't Parliament where real debate can happen regarding our futures. That's a real problem coming from a minority Gov't bypassing democracy. Twisting that into a "But who will think of the Children" blanket call is disingenuous at best.
Trudeau is pushing forward on a lot of things with little over-site & we didn't elect him as the King of Canada last Fall.
Oh dear me - the CORRECT TITLE is "Emperor of the Great White North - FOR LIFE"!
Our idiot Boy is making a FABULOUS MESS as he struggles to PARALYZE our Parliament and create political conditions
such that his MINORITY LIE-beral Losers will survive beyond the spring 2021 budget process!
Consider - for instance - how LIE-berals handle OUR property rights!
Here is yet another article illustrating the insane consequences of LIE-beral policy and shameless vote buying! With some comments of my own in brackets):
How the pandemic is preventing some landlords from evicting tenants who endanger their safety
By Farrah Merali CBC News June 6, 2020
When the Landlord and Tenant board ordered the eviction of a tenant living in the basement of the Diaz family home in Scarborough, Sherr Marie Diaz thought her fear and anxiety were finally over.
"I can't do this anymore. Like, every day I fear for my mom," said Diaz, whose mother Josephine, 74, is the landlord.
Diaz and her mother are both fearful of the tenant, who they say has refused to stop smoking, even after being told it endangers the health of the Diaz family. They also say the tenant has been aggressive toward them.
(The LIE-beral run Landlord and Tenant Board SAYS AND ORDERS lots of things that NEVER GET DONE! We have all read stories of “Professional tenants who never pay rent for months at a time and who - when they are finally evicted - leave behind all manner of garbage and damage and unpaid bills for things like electricity and water and phone and internet services!)
But they've quickly learned no evictions would be enforced due to a moratorium brought in by the provincial government because of COVID-19, so people can continue to shelter in place.
"We feel like we're prisoners in our own home because we cannot do anything."
(The legal system is at least consistent - in being illogical and inflexible! The rules governing evictions are Byzantine in their complexity - make one error and you must START THE PROCESS AGAIN - from the beginning! LIE-berals long ago chose to BUY the votes of radical renters by screwing landlords! With this Wuhan Virus CRAP merely adding an additional PROBLEM!)
The Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) ruled the tenant's smoking impaired the safety of Diaz, her mother and her 78-year-old father Juan Diaz, who had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He died just weeks after the eviction notice was first served to the tenant, after being hospitalized.
Diaz's mother is one of two Toronto landlords who are speaking out after they've failed to evict tenants they say have put their safety at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Ontario government implemented the moratorium in March. While LTB hearings are still being held in cases where there is a threat to safety or illegal activity, evictions can't be enforced.
There is a process to appeal the moratorium in certain cases, but it involves seeking permission from the courts and requires a lawyer.
(In other words - LIE-berals have made SURE the eviction process will be as drawn out and costly as possible! Simply showing the health issue is not enough!
Nor do LIE-berals fuss over PROPERTY RIGHTS! If you choose to rent - then ou GAVE YOUR PROPERTY to LIE-berals!)
Diaz said the problems with the tenant started not long after he moved in this past January. She claims not only did he stop paying rent, but that he also began smoking in the unit.
Diaz told CBC News she repeatedly implored the tenant to stop lighting up.
"I keep on pleading ... but nothing happened ...," said Diaz, who said the tenant denied he was smoking in the house.
On April 4 — during a night when Diaz said they could smell the smoke — she said her father experienced shortness of breath and coughing, which she believed to be an asthma attack. It got worse and on April 5 she said she reluctantly took him to hospital, a process complicated by his Alzheimers and vascular dementia.
As well, he couldn't have visitors because of the pandemic.
Sherr Marie Diaz says prior to moving in, the tenant agreed not to smoke in the house because her mother is immuno-compromised and her father, who had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, had oxygen tanks in the house.
(Oh great - even the prospect of being blown up by careless smokers near oxygen tanks cannot resolve this issue?)
"I wasn't there to tell him, 'Don't touch your face, don't touch your nose. Don't remove your mask.' He's there by himself. He doesn't know the consequences of that," Diaz said.
He was discharged but hospitalized again a few days later. On April 25, Jose Diaz died in hospital. Sherr Marie Diaz said he tested positive for COVID-19.
"I didn't even say goodbye," said Diaz, fighting back tears.
(Yes - it is a SAD FACT that the more time you spend in a Cdn hospital - the more likely you are to be exposed to some weird NEW DISEASE! The spread of antibiotic resistant super bugs is well documented! LIE-berals consider that regular deep cleaning of hospitals is a costly waste of time - as the periodic outbreaks of various diseases such as the “flesh eating” disease reveals!)
Because of the pandemic, the LTB is only hearing urgent cases involving illegal acts or serious safety concerns. The Diaz family successfully applied for a hearing in May, arguing the safety risk posed by the tenant.
An eviction order was granted on May 25.
"The Tenant has seriously impaired the safety of others by smoking marijuana in a house with oxygen tanks. There is a risk of a fire or explosion," an adjudicator found.
"The Tenant further impaired the safety of the Landlord and her husband, as they were at risk of asthma attack."
Despite the order, the tenant has not moved out, and because of the moratorium the order can't be enforced. Both Josephine and Sherr Marie Diaz said attempts to confront the tenant have prompted him to become more aggressive.
(Apparently the issue of NOT PAYING RENT has been forgotten - in true LIE-beral fashion! The only money that has REAL value is LIE-beral gravy! The money of tax payers is NOT important to LIE-beral judges!)
"As long as he is here we can't live peacefully," said Josephine Diaz.
Mary Denbraber, 91, was also granted an order to evict her downstairs tenant but he has not moved out.
(Isnt that NICE! LIE-berals have PILED ON the taxes and forced aged people to seek out income by renting space and now LIE-beral minded judges WILL NOT PROTECT these aged and infirm!)
Denbraber — who cannot walk — said because of her deteriorating health, she wants to move into the downstairs unit of the home. She argued she cannot climb down the stairs on her own in the event of an emergency and cannot navigate a wheelchair through the narrow halls upstairs.
Mary Denbraber, 91, cannot walk and is trying to move into the ground-floor unit of her home. The LTB had ordered the tenant leave by April 30 but the moratorium on evictions means it's not being enforced.
According to documents, the LTB supported her application in February for eviction and ruled the tenant should move out before April 30.
"At last, they saw it was not safe for me to be upstairs," said Denbraber.
But Denbraber said not only is the renter not vacating, there are a lot of people visiting the tenant in the home, which has a shared entrance. She's now fearful that either she or her support workers will be exposed to the novel coronavirus.
(Oh great - we all know how dangerous the Wuhan Virus is for the aged - so we get to pay for health care costs as well as the salary of the USELESS LIE-beral appointed judge and assorted bailiffs and court staff who are running this Sh+t Show! LIE-berals seem to BE BADLY CONFUSED about who actually owns private property!)
"Twice a day, health workers come to feed me and help me … They come in and the hallways are teeming with people half the time," said Denbraber.
"Of course they are in danger."
It's possible to apply for an exemption from the moratorium through the Ontario Divisional Court, but advocates say it takes both time and money.
(Ah yes- the usual LIE-beral delay tactic! LIE-berals happily give out grants to radical groups such as Black Live Matter and to assorted native and Muslim groups so they can push for unpopular policies but some sick old woman DOES NOT carry any weight with LIE-berals!)
"In Ontario, lawyers are the ones that are able to go to Divisional Court and represent clients," said Diana Padierna, a community legal worker with Landlord's Self-Help Centre, a legal clinic funded by Legal Aid Ontario.
"And a lot of the small landlords — which is the client population that we help at the clinic — they're not able to afford paying a lawyer, so they're pretty much on their own."
Lawyer Ike Agwu represents both Denbraber and the Diaz family.
"It is without a doubt there are many Diaz families out there where someone has suffered some sort of trauma because they couldn't remove a dangerous person from their property," said Agwu.
"It's important that our decision makers are very wary of unnecessarily extending this moratorium."
Government response
In a statement to CBC Toronto about the moratorium on evictions, the Ministry of Housing said in part:
"We are ensuring individuals and families are able to stay in their homes during this difficult time and can put their health and the health of others first."
"If a landlord has concerns for their safety or suspects illegal activity is occurring in their property they should contact the local police," the statement continued.
The Ministry of Housing wouldn't say when the moratorium would be lifted or when regular hearings at the LTB would resume.
In the meantime, Agwu said he plans to file an appeal at Divisional Court for Denbraber's eviction case. He said he's already filed paperwork for the Diaz family's appeal and their hearing is scheduled for next Friday.
"We want our safety back — our peace," said Sherr Marie Diaz.
(What it comes down to is that Ford govt is NOT prepared at this time to GO TO WAR with the entire LIE-beral dominated legal system or with its legion of entitled renters and special interest groups whose bigotry defines all landlords of any sort are blood sucking Parasites!)
(LIE-beral Soviet Socialist policy on housing and on shameless vote buying has us all at war with each other!)
