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."

I'm sure he's got a cushy one all lined up for when he gets booted from office. They always do.

Prob move to Alberta and take up residence under Smith's desk.

He won't have to as long as people keep electing him.

Is there some way people can help trigger an election?

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Gotta trigger people to go out and vote. We could have 999 elections, and they'd all have the same result if people continue to not bother voting. That's why we are where we are now - everybody wants to bitch and complain, nobody wants to actually go out and make a difference when they have the chance.

Why bother, they keep voting for him. What the hell is an election supposed to do?!

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 4 points 1 day ago

It might make a difference if it's triggered right when he's done something that's caused his party's popularity to dip.

Well doug can call an emergency election any time he wants, why can't the people?
