Hamilton has passed a new "bad faith" renoviction bylaw that makes it more difficult to drive existing tenants out of their homes to attract new ones at a higher price. Is it needed in other Ontario cities, too? Or is there more the province can do to help residents with affordable alternatives. We ask Patrick Johnstone, mayor of New Westminster, B.C., a jurisdiction that has successfully cut down on renovictions; Toronto city councillor Parthi Kandavel, and Tony Irwin, CEO of Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Australia could be taking on nuclear waste from the AUKUS submarine deal after new laws tabled in Parliament last year. The legislation says it would allow for the creation of facilities for "managing, storing or disposing of radioactive waste from an AUKUS submarine". It's led to the resurfacing of talk about nuclear waste; asking if we'd be taking on waste from the UK and US, and in terms of our own, where would it go? In this episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt is speakingwith Tony Irwin about what these laws mean.

One of the biggest challenges facing us today is how to source the energy that drives our economy and our society. Where do we get the energy to replace dirty fossil fuels? While renewables are clearly the future, it's crucial to fill the gaps in variable demand. That's where batteries and pumped hydro step in, but are they enough? Tony Irwin is Associate Professor at the ANU and Technical Director at SMR Technology. For a slice of nuclear history, our earlier Fuzzy Logic begins with an interview by Professor Robert Street. His is a remarkable story, having worked on the first nuclear reactor at Harwell, UK. Interview by Rod

The Empire Club of Canada Presents: Tony Irwin, President & CEO, Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario On No Vacancy: Tackling Ontario's Rental Housing Supply Crisis With low rental vacancy rates across the province and continued uncertainty about Toronto's volatile housing market, it's becoming more difficult to meet the increasing demand for quality long-term rental options for Ontarians. The increase in demand for rental housing is being led by two groups: millennials, who rank urban location as more important than home size or type and are less likely to purchase a home than any other generation in modern history, and boomers, who are downsizing in their later years and looking to rent, while retaining the equity from their former home. For the second year in a row Toronto's rental vacancy rate is just 1.1% and 1.8% across Ontario. Many believe that more needs to be done to keep up with the demand from new housing-seekers and new immigrants. Ontarians need policy solutions from all levels of government that will stimulate vital new rental supply, and reduce pressure on prices for both traditional home ownership and rental. FRPO's President & CEO Tony Irwin will address the issue of Ontario's insufficient rental housing supply head-on, discussing potential short-term and long-term solutions. Tony Irwin is President & CEO at the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario. Before joining FRPO, Tony was President & CEO with the Canadian Consumer Finance Association; a national trade association representing businesses that provide a range of financial product to Canadians. Previously, Tony was Vice President, North American Government Affairs, with Dollar Financial Group, Inc., where he served as Chairman of the Canadian Payday Loan Association and was active with the Community Financial Services Association of America. From March 2009 to July 2012 Tony was Manager of External Affairs & Consumer Relations with Allstate Insurance Company of Canada, where he implemented a national government relations strategy and served as official company spokesperson. Prior to joining Allstate, Tony served as Executive Director of the Justin Eves Foundation, a non-profit organization granting scholarships and bursaries to learning-disabled and disadvantaged young people to assist them to achieve a post-secondary education. Tony has also held key political roles and was Senior Advisor to an Ontario Premier and Executive Assistant to the Leader of the Official Opposition.

Churchview, number 34 on the Main Street of Chapelizod, is a detached three-story Georgian building that lies sandwiched between two lanes leading to St. Laurence’s Church. The building is commonly known as the House by the Church Yard and has long been associated with the name of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, the Irish writer of supernatural, Gothic and mystery fiction.The village and its history made a strong impression on Le Fanu’s imagination, and the characters and stories he grew up with re-appear in several of his works. In these, Le Fanu likes to look back at the heyday of the village in the middle of the 18th century, when a bustling social life revolved around the officers of the Royal Irish Horse Artillery. Le Fanu spent his childhood in Chapelizod, while his father worked as chaplain in the Hibernian Military School. The Hibernian Military School was built to educate the children of the 400 soldiers of the Royal Irish Horse Artillery, garrisoned in the area.Built around 1740, the sadly dilapidated building of Churchview is one of the earliest surviving structures in the village. It is believed by many to be the house which gives its name to Le Fanu’s 1868 novel ‘The House by the Churchyard’, a work in which Le Fanu combined a lively portrayal of life in Chapelizod in the 1760s with a macabre tale of deceit, murder and retribution.The story opens with the annual festivities held on nearby Palmerstown Green, where we are introduced to some of the residents of Chapelizod. These include General Chattesworth and his eligible daughter Gertrude, the local rector Doctor Walsingham and his ill-fated daughter Lilias, and some of the more colourful officers of the regiment, including Lieutenant Puddock and Gunner ‘Fireworks’ O’Flaherty. Courtships, rivalries and duels - all treated with a strong element of farce - provide much of the plot in the first half of the novel, until the arrival in the village of a mysterious stranger by the name of Mr Mervyn sets in train a sequence of sinister events, culminating in the attempted murder of Doctor Sturk in the Phoenix Park by an unknown assailant. Sturk’s body is carried back to his house (perhaps the very building that stands on Main Street today), where he lies in a coma until the key to the mystery is at last revealed when he is briefly brought to his senses by being trepanned, the desperate operation carried out by a whiskey-soaked Dublin doctor known as ‘Black Dillon’, who arrives by coach at dead of night.Although less well known than Bram Stoker or Edgar Allan Poe, Sheridan Le Fanu has always been regarded as a key figure in the development of Gothic and mystery fiction. His vampire novel ‘Carmilla’ influenced Stoker’s creation of ‘Dracula’, and many writers of ghost stories have paid tribute to his subtle ability to make the flesh creep. The English writer E.F. Benson said of him: “No one else has so sure a touch in mixing the mysterious atmosphere in which horror darkly breeds.”Le Fanu’s novel ‘The House by the Churchyard’ was also admired by James Joyce, who – like Le Fanu – knew Chapelizod in his youth and who wove elements of Le Fanu’s story into his own ‘Finnegan’s Wake’.During the second half of the 18th century, the appearance of Dublin city transformed as buildings like the Customs House, Trinity College, and the Four Courts were constructed. Other building works were undertaken to improve the streetscapes of the inner city, and magnificent Georgian mansions were constructed for the city’s elite. However, following the Act of Union in 1801 – through which the Irish parliament in Dublin was removed and united with British parliament in London – there was a marked reduction in the property prices in the city. Many of the old Georgian houses were converted into tenements, each containing multiple large families renting individual rooms in the building. These inner-city tenements became notorious for their squalor, and the neighbourhoods surrounding them gained a reputation as slums.It was in this context that Churchview was converted into tenement style housing. Little is known of the history of the house during this period of its existence, apart from that a David Cant is recorded as living there in 1914, when the rated value of the premises was £13.Like many tenement buildings in Dublin during the 20th century, the building accommodated a staggering number of people. The Irwins and their eight children lived on the first floor, the Farrells, with four children, lived on the second floor, and the Doyles with two children lived on the top floor. A bachelor Mr Flaherty had the basement all to himself. There are also reports of a local boxing club situated in the basement at some stage during the buildings life.The Irwin’s were the biggest and last family to have lived in the house. Frances Martin Irwin herself, the mother of the family, was raised in Chapelizod and was one of the lucky children who attended the Hibernian Military School, where Sheridan Le Fanu’s father was Chaplin years before her time.Although it was not as squalid as some of the tenements of the inner city, it was certainly overcrowded, and at a young age Angela and Mary Irwin had to move out of their childhood home into Martin’s Row. The rest of the children followed suit – Monica and Tony Irwin moving to the nearby Mulberry Cottages – as did the building’s other tenants, until Frances was the only person left behind. Of Frances’ eight children, half remained close by in Chapelizod, and she lived in Churchview until her death in 1968. She is buried in the Hibernian Military School in the Phoenix Park.The descendants of the Irwin family still live in both the Mulberry Cottages and in Martin’s row, continuing their link with Chapelizod. In the years following her death the building remained unoccupied, and today the house by the churchyard stands apparently forgotten, in a state of dangerous neglect – waiting for a skilful and sensitive hand to resurrect it from its death-like slumber.Further Reading:Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1851) Ghost Stories of Chapelizod.
