Bulldozing Low Income Housing- Where will the Tenants go?

The following was published in The Londoner yesterday on October 22, 2008. I have a few problems with this that I have been trying to get a hold of the Middlesex London housing Corporation to address. Nowhere in this article does it suggest where the current tenants of Boulee are going to be housed. I really hope that these people don't mind having to move, but hopefully they have somewhere they can afford to move to- it surely isn’t fair to kick low income tenants out of their homes with nowhere to go. In fact, as tax paying Canadians we should be able to assume that the same number of dwellings that are to be destroyed are going to be rebuilt, right? I will update as soon as I can get a hold of SOME one at the MLHC, no one seems to answer the phones there.

United Students Against Sweatshops organizes two conferences every year where students from all over Canada and the US are invited. We get together to talk about social justice issues, mostly based around labor rights. This three day summer conference is an excellent opportunity for people new to USAS to come and learn about some of the campaigns that are being run to use student power to fight for human rights. See the website for more details and registration.
