Ensemble Montréal's Potential Impact on Housing and Climate Crisis
Ensemble Montréal mayoral candidate Soraya Martinez Ferrada, a career politician with experience in the Trudeau government, may lead the city backward in addressing housing and the climate crisis.
Martinez Ferrada's past actions have raised concerns, including collecting an illegal security deposit and cleaning fee as a landlord, demonstrating a lack of understanding of basic tenant rights.
Montreal needs a mayor who doesn’t know basic tenant rights like we need another Olympic Stadium.
Furthermore, Ferrada's initial proposal to deregulate Airbnb was met with criticism, prompting her to backtrack, which is concerning given her promise to be the "maire du logement" (mayor of housing).
