The Durability of Roll-Out Neoliberalism Under Centre-Left Governance: The Case of Ontario’s Social Housing Sector

Abstract

Jason Hackworth’s “The Durability of Roll-out Neoliberalism Under Centre-Left Governance: The Case of Ontario’s Social Housing Sector” raises the fact that Centre-Left governments pose a particular set of problems for activists aiming to undermine or reverse neoliberal policies. This study explores social housing in Ontario during the past 10 years to illustrate and reflect upon this issue. The sector was ravaged by the Tory “Common Sense Revolution” (CSR), but upon being elected in 2003, the current Centre-Left Liberal government has done little to ameliorate the problems in the sector, much less reverse the punitive nature of roll-out neoliberalism that the CSR put in place.
