According to explanatory documents provided to reporters, potential changes could give landlords more “flexibility” to control who occupies their units and for how long, allowing them to “adjust tenancy arrangements based on market conditions, personal needs, or business strategies.”

[...]

Other, more concrete changes proposed in Thursday’s bill include ending the requirement for landlords to compensate tenants if they or an immediate family member move back into their own property, as long as the tenant is given 120 days notice.

[...]

If passed, Bill 60 would also amend more than a dozen other existing major laws. Other marquee changes would affect how municipalities collect development charges, how the provincial government builds transit-oriented communities, and how Queen’s Park restricts bike lanes and encourages road-building.

We can prioritize housing as a place to live, which is done through making it less accessible as an investment.

Or we can prioritize housing as an investment, which is done through making it less accessible for people who need a place to live.

There is no fair balance between making homes for people to live in and making houses to speculate on.

The same goes for food, privacy, and anything that people need or care about.
