This is almost unfathomably cruel to every individual and family that rents housing in Ontario. Living in perpetual terror of losing your housing on a landlord’s whim is no life at all. #ONpoli

Jonathan Goldsbie @goldsbie.bsky.social · 18h

At a press conference this afternoon, Attorney General Doug Downey said they want to move away from requiring "evergreen leases, that just go on with no end in sight":

Reporter: With respect to what we were told this morning about the government consulting on “alternative options” essentially that could allow landlords to end leases — I think this is a question best for the Attorney General? Just wondering what you are looking at there.

Attorney General Doug Downey: Well, we've heard from stakeholders that these evergreen leases, that just go on with no end in sight, may not be the appropriate — other jurisdictions, when we did a scan across the country, do different things. But we weren't confident that we had the answer, and we only want to move with confidence. So we're going to go back out and talk to landlords and tenants and organizations and see if there's a better way for the people of Ontario to unlock that housing that isn't happening now.

Reporter: But that's housing that people are in. They're tenants, right? It's hard to see a world in which, if you're giving landlords more power to end leases, that they're not gonna want to get in a tenant that will pay more. So is this not inevitably gonna end up with higher rents, more people getting kicked out of their rentals?

Downey: We're gonna consult widely on it. What we do know is there are a lot of landlords that are not putting their units on the market. We need to get those units. I'm convinced if we get the right balance, we'll unlock tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of new units, and those will be places that people that currently don't have a place to be will be able to rent.

Reporter: So, sorry, you're saying that if landlords, there are some landlords that if there are more flexible types of agreements that they would be willing to rent currently unrented spaces?

Downey: I’ve been told that repeatedly, for years, that some landlords are not entering the market because they don't have confidence in it.

No correct aspect ratio upload to be found on YouTube, and I could be more rigorous about my editing, but I genuinely think this is some of the funniest 106 seconds in comedy history, and definitely in my top five Simpsons jokes.

Feeling nostalgic for the days when all you had to worry about with funny animal videos was "actually they only do this when they are suffering from stress/some kind of horrible illness". Now its just "is this ai?"

I’ve been thinking about this a lot over the last several months, and Graff nails the thought: “It turns out, in the end, that there’s only one check and balance that actually matters: Good character. Everything else in a constitutional system follows and relies on that simple foundation.”

If you post a video asking "am I fascist?" and then start defending fascists in said video, yes, yes you are.

There's a very very stupid corner of open source that believes you can and must leave any and all politics at the door. They are very wrong and making Nazi bars as a result. Good job 👍

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
