Housing should be a human right

It is. The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of which Canada is party to, made it as such.

Unfortunately the UDHR is not enforceable...

It is by way of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, among others.

That's great and all, but what can be done with this? Of course we can't just go to our landlords and be like "uh...ma freedoms!".

What do you want to do with it?

[–] ChaosSpectator 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well....not paying stupid amounts for a roof over my head, let's start there.
