What does "in principle" mean in a real sense to the people who ARE CURRENTLY BEING EVICTED?? How does "in principle" do anything for these people within the next 10 days? #EvictionMoratorium #bcrentcrisis @adriandix @selinarobinson @bcndp
Time is running out for tenants suddenly at risk of losing their homes due to #Covid_19 job loss. Does the province really expect every single landlord to be "principled"? We don't just hope people are "principled" and not harm each other in other ways - that's what laws are for.
What "principles" are you referring to? We've created a way for at-risk tenants to self-identify, and we've gotten 238 names just since 7 AM this morning. vancouvertenantsunion.ca/bcrentcrisis
If even just one of these people ends up out on the streets or crowded with 5 other roommates in a tiny apartment, unable to properly self-isolate, or back with their elderly parents, we are all at greater risk.
In a public health crisis where the top refrain is STAY HOME, not guaranteeing safe and secure housing to everyone is an unforgivable abdication of responsibility on the part of our government. #EvictionMoratorium #bcrentcrisis
