Vancouver Renters Deserve Justice!!!!

 💥 This Is Not a Little Thing — Vancouver Renters Deserve Justice

Let’s be clear: what’s happening in our rental market is not just “business as usual.” It’s exploitation, and it’s hurting people.

The Competition Bureau of Canada just confirmed something many of us have long suspected: some landlords and property managers are illegally working together to drive up rent, limit housing availability, and manipulate lease terms. They are meeting in private chat groups, social media forums, and behind closed doors to fix prices and restrict the market.

This is criminal — and we, the people of Vancouver and beyond, are the ones paying the price.

🚨 This Isn’t Just a Policy Issue — It’s Personal

• Families are being evicted with nowhere to go.
• Seniors and people with disabilities are being priced out of their own communities.
• Students, workers, and newcomers are couch-surfing, living in unsafe conditions, or simply giving up hope.

Meanwhile, some property managers are sitting in private groups talking about how to "maximize the booming rental market." How can they sleep at night?

🗣️ It’s Time to Speak Up

We need to talk about this. We need to share our stories, support one another, and report suspicious activity when we see it.

This is not just a legal issue — it’s about ethics, community, and justice.

If you suspect landlords in your building or community are coordinating rent hikes, limiting units, or manipulating lease terms: 📣 Speak out.
✍️ Share your story.
📨 Report it to the Competition Bureau.

👉 You can do it confidentially or even anonymously through the Whistleblowing Initiative.

We’re not just renters. We’re workers, parents, artists, students, caregivers — people with dreams, histories, and futures. We deserve a home. We deserve peace of mind. We deserve a city that puts people before profits.

Please, help spread the word.
