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.”
