What wonderful news. I am extremely proud of your courageous, cohesive spirit, which has clearly done much to reassert the rights of tenants in our gravely misgoverned province.

The geographical rent increase clause should never have been added to the Residential Tenancy Act; its passage by Campbell and his cohort of clowns is a callous act of wickedness. And to back up my assertion I refer to Robbie Burns:

“Whatever mitigates the woes or increases the happiness of others, this is my criterion of goodness; and whatever injures society at large, or any individual in it, this is my measure of iniquity.”

May other tenants desirous of justice heed the tremendous lesson of your success, and take heart that greed does not have to be the final determinant of rent increases.

Now if we could only unite the millions opposed to the HST.
