  Freedom Party International - Public Address - The Future of Rent Control in Ontario
In fact, proclamations alluding to the possibility that rent controls could be eliminated as early as next year, while simultaneously promising to retain and strengthen rent controls until the vacancy rate reaches an acceptable level, are proclamations that do little more than to help confuse the issue.
For example, rent controls are specifically a fascist measure, and we should never be afraid to use that term to describe them; it is accurate and it has a very clear meaning and effect.
As a political party believing that the foundation of personal liberty and choice is the concept of private property and the right to fully exercise ownership of such property, we have no choice but to condemn rent controls on both practical and moral grounds.

At a time when patrons say they're going out less because an evening of live music can easily exceed $60 with drinks, and bands saying their paydays are plummeting, bar owners insist they're strapped by increasingly small profit margins and the rising costs of doing business.
A 5,000-square-foot space on Sixth Street now rents for just over $1 a square foot, not including the property taxes and insurance costs landowners pass along to their tenants.
Not only are music venues complaining that their bar receipts aren't covering their rent, they're also saying it's become increasingly hard to ward off new businesses vying for their space at the end of a lease.
