Shouts and chants rained down upon politicians at the Ontario legislature Monday as the government passed a housing bill that critics say makes it easier for landlords to evict tenants.

“People over profits,” members of ACORN Canada, a tenant advocacy group, chanted from the public gallery at Queen’s Park at the time of the vote.

At one point, Premier Doug Ford told the yelling crowd to “go find a job.”

        And it still barely works then cause we don’t have proportional representation. Doug ford has 65% of the seats with 40% of the vote. He is not what most of Ontario wants, but its what we are stuck with.

    Yes, one of those many jobs that the job creators are creating from their reduced taxes that they’re definitely not using for their own benefit after mass layoffs.

    People have to accept that this is not a game, this government will kill you for profit. It isn’t a difference of “opinion” or a sign of the need for reform, it is a life or death struggle and they’ve shown that they will not respond to diplomacy or negotiation. You are a target.
