Episode Details

CUPE Manitoba is rallying for urgent action on Bill 13, a landmark renter protection bill aimed at curbing soaring housing costs and giving tenants real stability. Union leader Gina McKay insists this isn’t just about policy—it’s about families’ ability to budget and stay in their homes without fear of eviction or massive hikes. The bill introduces strict landlord rules, including 24-hour notice for showings, mandatory public record checks, and steep fines up to $10,000. Real stories like Jane Bullied’s—whose rent jumped from $1,047 to $1,785 over 15 years—underscore the urgency. While CUPE pushes for immediate passage, PC Leader Obby Khan argues the bill doesn’t solve affordability and should go to committee for public input. With debate set to resume September 29, Manitobans are watching closely as housing rights clash with political strategy.
