Residents of a Toronto apartment complex are calling out their landlord for failing to show up at a public meeting convened by Mayor Olivia Chow in...

A statement issued on Thursday morning by the York South-Weston Tenants Union calls out Dream for failing to attend, and"opting instead to continue filing evictions against tenants on strike rather than participate in mediation."

"We want to thank Mayor Chow for stepping in and trying to bring Dream Unlimited to the table, something we've been trying to do for more than four months," says Sharlene Henry, a tenant at 33 King St and Co-chair of the York South Weston Tenant Union. "It's an outright shame that Dream would rather kick us out of our homes than sit down and negotiate with us, not even at the Mayor's request," said Henry, adding,"But we are not going to let this stop us, and we're stronger than ever."

It is clear that Dream would rather pursue mass evictions, than simply negotiate with us, even at the mayor's request. But we are not going anywhere. If Dream wants to play hard, tenants on rent strike will become their nightmare.
