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.”
Doesn’t change the 65% of the seats for 40% of the votes statistic. Most voters didn’t want him. Those who didn’t vote don’t impact the polls, maybe if they did vote it could skew the broken system away from Ford but it is clear our voting system needs to be reformed.
It needs reform, however not voting means you are just as okay with the elected official as you are somebody else getting voted in. If people cared to try to get him out, they would vote. In fact, with the system as broken as it is, it’s even more important to go out and vote if you don’t want him.
