Across Canada, real estate developers and big corporate landlords are systematically exploiting racialized communities, buying up properties where they live at low prices and then flipping them for profit—after evicting long-term residents.

A new report, obtained exclusively by The Breach, shows that this practice is not incidental but a nationwide tactic employed by “financialized landlords.” These are entities like real estate investment trusts (REITs), asset managers, and pension funds that treat rental housing as an investment to generate shareholder profits, rather than a place for people to live.

The strategy hinges on a discriminatory and cynical assumption: removing Black and Arab tenants reliably raises property values and unlocks new profits.

These landlords methodically target buildings with low rents and long-standing, mostly immigrant tenants. Through capital upgrades, neglect, or renovation-driven evictions—what the industry euphemistically calls “repositioning”—they displace current residents and convert the housing into higher-value assets.

DND records reveal a department in damage control as it tried to deal with the assault. Months after the assault, Adams wrote to then Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre and other senior military leaders to ask for help. She didn't receive a reply from Eyre.

Instead, DND records indicate that military and department officials were more concerned about whether other news media outlets would pick up on the initial Ottawa Citizen articles about the incident.

The article is relatively short, and I didn't want to try and summarize it in case I introduce my own biases. Here is the subtitle:

The emphasis on making deals and showing quick results is coming at the cost of a long-term vision

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said after talking with Prime Minister Mark Carney he’s decided to pause the advertising campaign effective Monday so that trade talks can resume.

That was faster than I expected.

QUEEN’S PARK - After resale tickets to the Blue Jays’ World Series immediately skyrocketed into the thousands of dollars, Ontario Premier Doug Ford held a press conference to place the blame solely on the total dickhead of a premier who scrapped a resale-capping law in 2019.
