Ron Butler, a commentator on mortgage and housing issues, posted a series of tweets on April 8 and 9, 2026. His posts covered trends in the rental market, negotiation strategies for tenants, and political commentary on party switching among Canadian Members of Parliament.
On April 8, Butler addressed current conditions in the rental market: ” Rents are dropping and your landlord knows it. Time to use that leverage! I break down how to negotiate smarter with David Lin. Watch it now on YouTube (David Lin’s channel + Angry Mortgage Clips) https://t.co/9Noox9sFEF”.

On April 9, Butler commented on political developments in Canada regarding party affiliation changes among Members of Parliament: “Conservatives Members Of Parliament Crossing The Floor To Become Liberals: Those MPs Were BOUGHT I don’t think we can end Floor Crossings because it’s just too hard, it’s almost a Constitutional change But look at WHY people elected to represent one party switch parties 2/”.
Floor crossing in Canadian politics refers to elected officials changing their party allegiance while in office. This practice has been debated due to its impact on voter representation but remains legal under Canada’s parliamentary system. Efforts to ban or limit floor crossing have faced significant constitutional challenges and have not resulted in legislative change.
