Amazing that the CBC included a link to the Flemingdon Park rent strike (which was also covered by Global News at the time)

If I'm not mistaken Ana Bailão was until recently affiliated with Dream Unlimited? Kind of reminds me of top Pentagon brass (say) who during the cold war would retire from active duty and then they'd sign up as 'consultants' in the military-industrial complex... eg. can you say General Dynamics, Martin Marietta, Northrop-Grumman...

I think there was supposed to be a "cooling off period" but - like mandatory driver education and "condo board director's school" those things don't seem to get much traction.
