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.”

    People have to accept that this is not a game, this government will kill you for profit. It isn’t a difference of “opinion” or a sign of the need for reform, it is a life or death struggle and they’ve shown that they will not respond to diplomacy or negotiation. You are a target.
