This is in Ontario, Canada - six-year old condo balconies with rotting support columns. Some refer to this sort of issue as "disposable housing". @catmckenney.bsky.social @gregorrobertson.bsky.social #condo #disposablehousing www.insidehalton.com/news/burling...

Burlington condo balconies were built for outdoor living; rotting support columns now keeping some residents inside

Just reading the book excerpt on Amazon was eye-opening! How easily this could happen to any one of us when making a major purchase?! Oversight and regulations are lip-service in Ontario where insurance companies and builders have the ear of our government. We need a Consumer Watchdog

Another situation that has gone from bad to worse with the Ford gov't. CPBH relies on #FOI requests to try and find out what is really going on with organizations like Tarion and HCRA, given the lack of transparency with those organizations. #FreedomOfInfo #onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1204843...

Why is this allowed to continue in Ontario today?One person called it "smoke & mirrors". While Ontarians are still stuck with the mandatory monopoly Tarion, at least have a completely independent office like the ON Ombudsman w/ these responsibilities. #onpoli #Tarion #Ombuds #EndTarionMonopolyNOW

For nearly 5 months, I've been trying to meet with the Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) to advocate on behalf of homebuyers in OWN but they've been refusing to meet. I am asking Ministers Flack and Crawford to hold the HCRA accountable for its failures to protect consumers. #onpoli
