The Parkdale area of Toronto ain’t exactly a
hang-out for the rich and famous, in other words you don’t live there if you
can afford not to.
Since 1971 the Parkdale Community Legal Service Clinic, has done an amazing job in fighting evictions, rent increases and, as they put it: ”Bad landlords”.
Some residents have said without the clinic they would be homeless or dead. Sadly the clinic itself may soon be homeless.
In mid-October it was served with a termination notice by landlord, Martin Usher, ordering it to be out of the office space it has rented for 18 years by Jan 1.
Naturally they will fight it, but win or lose, it just goes to show that the more one tries to resist the effects of life under capitalism, the more one is fighting a losing battle.
