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.

He just had to include bike lanes, restricting transit, and promoting car dependancy in a bill about landlords and rentals. Its like we are intentionally trying to make cost of living worse, prevent building long overdue density and transit in our cities, and put even more power into the ownership class. Ontario needs to get rid of this guy ASAP. His only saving grace was threatening trump with shutting off the power but that doesn't seem to have any backbone to it.
