My July 31 post appears, slightly altered, in today's Winnipeg Free Press letters section.
So does another letter from the landlord side, this one telling us if you want to have a companion animal in your life you should just buy a house. Simple as that. In other words, a great big "Fuck you" to the poor.
Still no word on why Manitoba can't have a pet-friendly tenancy law like Ontario's. Just more bluster about how it would be ruinous to show compassion.
Someone I know lives in a block where management won't even allow goldfish. Apparently, that's the policy for every building under that particular property management company.
It's sheer arrogance.
To quote Bruce Cockburn: "The tenants get the dregs and landlords get the cream."
