Heated Discussion Dept: However, I was recently reminded that anything is possible if you work hard enough and don't accept no for an answer. This past week an inspiring young disabled immigrant took on Toronto City Hall, and won, according to The Star. During a heated discussion about the landlord's controversial plans to hike their rents to cover the costs of fixing the building's balconies that had been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair, Oslen entered the room, unsteady on his feet but determined to have his voice heard and there's an old adage that says you can't fight City Hall. For many residents, this far too often rings true when they come to their civic government for help but end up finding themselves lost in a maze of bureaucracy. I first met Oslen Christian a month ago while visiting with a group of tenants at a building in my ward. I was there to support them in a fight they're waging with their landlord over a proposed rent increase. As
reported in the news.
