Article Information
| Background | New legislation in Ontario. |
| Reason | Ontario's new legislation regarding one's ability to break their lease if they're fleeing violence. I Tweeted about how this new change would have made a world of difference to me years ago and CBC picked up the story. |
| Comment | I'm delighted that the media is talking about this new provision, because it had been passed for a full week before they picked up the story. The media is the #1 public educator on violence against women, so it's really important that news like this is shared. |
| Outcome | More public awareness. Yay! |
