Doug Ford tells heckler to ‘find a job’ as protest erupts over Ontario law critics say will speed up evictions

The Ontario government has passed a controversial omnibus bill that critics say will make it easier for landlords to evict tenants from their homes.

Bill 60, also known as the “Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act,” passed third reading 71-43 at Queen’s Park Monday following a fast-tracked process with limited debate.

The voting took place amid loud chanting of “people over profit” and “shame” from the public gallery. Following the vote, the speaker ordered the gallery to be cleared as those being ushered away yelled “you’re putting people on the streets.”

As one of the protesters was being ejected from the chamber, Premier Doug Ford yelled up from the floor of the house “go find a job, buddy.”
