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.”

          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.

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