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."

It is one of several bills the government has fast-tracked this fall legislative session. It skipped the committee stage altogether.

"This government has ignored public opinion and denied us a voice," said Alejandra Ruiz-Vargas, president of ACORN Canada.

"Bill 60 will worsen homelessness, the mental-health crisis and despair across the province."

They said the bill would accelerate evictions and strip tenants of their ability to defend themselves.

Its hard to when he sends out a bribe and calls an emergency election for no justifiable reason except he could see his popularity starting to slip so he had to nip it in the butt, hence the bribe cheques sent to taxpayers.

I mean i didn't fall for the ruse but a lot of folks will forget about all the corruption and problems not being addressed when they see their tax dollars returned directly to them. They wanna vote for the guy putting tax dollars back in their pocket, even if that guy is going to waste every penny that wasn't refunded making ontario worse.
