Ensemble Montréal's Potential Impact on Housing and Climate Crisis
Ensemble Montréal mayoral candidate Soraya Martinez Ferrada, a career politician with experience in the Trudeau government, has raised concerns about her stance on housing and the climate crisis.
Her past actions as a landlord, including collecting an illegal security deposit and cleaning fee, have sparked criticism. This has led to questions about her understanding of basic tenant rights.

Ferrada also faced backlash for her initial proposal to deregulate Airbnb, which seemed contradictory to her promise to be the "maire du logement" (mayor of housing).
