Our group, Condo Residents for Change, was featured in an article on the front page of CBC.ca!
We’re seeing hundreds of comments on the article. Thank you CBC for covering our story and getting the message out.
A few excerpts from the article and our responses
Two of our lead organizers were quoted:
“Far too long has this government neglected and left condo owners and residents out of the loop. They favour the corporation. They favour the property manager. They favour the board, Jad Boukayli”
“Going through this has caused extreme stress, anxiety and financial loss. I should be raising my kids and feel protected in my home, not be fighting mentally and financially exhausting legal battles,” [Ghufran Siddiqui] said.”
We also saw CBC got a comment from a lawyer: “‘Rogue boards’ are the exception”
We strongly disagree with the insinuation that the problems we are tackling are isolated or minimal. These are widespread legal loopholes and gaps in legislation. Unfortunately to simply rely on ‘the good heart’ of Board members is not a very strong protection. Legislation needs to change.
We encourage everyone to continue to share the petition. And connect with our group.
CBC French also reported on our rally in their video content:
