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.”
You must log in or register to comment.
He should tell that to the landlords, not the renters.
The landlords have the job of ensuring rent stays unaffordable, why would doug stop that? His developer buddies don’t wanna build in a fair market where 3500/month is unreasonable for a 1000 sqft condo.
Thats what the maga one percenters (percent of unfavorable reactions) yell at me while driving past our protests. Real original.
Despite temptation, I have not once yelled that at the perma-protestors at a nearby abortion clinic. I also have not thrown fake fetuses, nor installed a high-dB air horn and hoped for a drive-by coronary.
I am the embodiment of restraint. Or something.
What a douche.
Hopefully Ford finds a new job.
I’m sure he’s got a cushy one all lined up for when he gets booted from office. They always do.
Prob move to Alberta and take up residence under Smith’s desk.
He won’t have to as long as people keep electing him.
Is there some way people can help trigger an election?
Why bother, they keep voting for him. What the hell is an election supposed to do?!
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.
Well doug can call an emergency election any time he wants, why can’t the people?
Find a job, like being a local drug dealer
Don’t feel bad if you’re a drug dealer. One day you too could be Premier.
I thought his brother was only mayor.
Doug was the dealer now Premier. Rob was the crackhead turned mayor.
Fuck you don’t talk shit about Rob. He was one that gave a damn. Unlike his fuck of a brother.
I would have loved to party with Rob. I bet you he was fun.
I do not want fun imebecillic crackheads in any position of consequence within government, let alone mayor.
Drug Fraud proving yet again why he never should have been elected.
Democracy only works when people actually go out and fucking vote.
And it still barely works then cause we don’t have proportional representation. Doug ford has 65% of the seats with 40% of the vote. He is not what most of Ontario wants, but its what we are stuck with.
Yes, one of those many jobs that the job creators are creating from their reduced taxes that they’re definitely not using for their own benefit after mass layoffs.
