According to explanatory documents provided to reporters, potential changes could give landlords more “flexibility” to control who occupies their units and for how long, allowing them to “adjust tenancy arrangements based on market conditions, personal needs, or business strategies.”

[...]

Other, more concrete changes proposed in Thursday’s bill include ending the requirement for landlords to compensate tenants if they or an immediate family member move back into their own property, as long as the tenant is given 120 days notice.

[...]

If passed, Bill 60 would also amend more than a dozen other existing major laws. Other marquee changes would affect how municipalities collect development charges, how the provincial government builds transit-oriented communities, and how Queen’s Park restricts bike lanes and encourages road-building.

All the super smart people who voted for this tool can get fucked when their landlord evicts them for strategic business reasons and such and they have to use a shelter that doesn't exist anymore and are forced in the streets and into an encampment which will be violently destroyed by thugs in uniform and eventually forced into 'rehabilitation'.

Etc.

For the people.

They'll still vote blue next election. They're incapable of critical thought.

My buddy who extensively relies on free health care, mental health services, education assistance services, disability pay, and identifies with the queer community votes blue in every level of government. I don't get it. Half their platform always involves stripping away the services he has relied on for over a decade.

He hates himself and needs to be punished.
