During a recent Question Period at Queen’s Park, Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner urged the Ford government to take immediate action against soaring rental prices that are pricing working families out of their communities. He highlighted dramatic rent increases, citing examples like a two-bedroom apartment in Kitchener jumping from $1,485 to $2,282, and in Toronto, where rents have surged by over 40% in just two years. Schreiner emphasized the need for the government to support the construction of deeply affordable non-profit and co-op housing to alleviate the housing crisis affecting many Ontarians.
