Not only does this guy need to be exposed, but also the agencies at play need to be held accountable for letting this go on so long and for using up so many tax payer dollars.Finally, contact your legislative representatives and appropriate lobbying groups to change the laws that are holding back sensible solutions to a problem such as this.

Germain Act" it goes over how that legislation allowed banks to charge variable interest rates and allow property owner to put their properties in trusts for estate planning purposes.

Sure, we all pay our utility bills but this particular envelope  was coming from a property I currently rent out in a city 4 hours away.The letter quickly explained that my previous tenant had arrears on their account and with the legislation in place in our beloved province the landlord is held responsible for any of their tenants arrears once the utility makes a reasonable attempt to recover the late payments.   

I'd say the State took the easy way out not having to set something up just for investors......poor legislative work. :)

Lots of "politically correct" legislation being created.

Changes in legislation and even rule implementation within a department has been a major mover of markets.
