While standing behind a sign that literally says “Protecting Ontario”…
Fiction couldn’t make this timeline any more fucked than it is if it tried.
There was a printer error on the sign, mistakes happen.
it’s actually supposed to read
Protecting Ontario Landlords
I feel doubly bad the for the poor minimum wage drone at the Staples copy centre that’s going to fired over this, then…
I’m sure the Ontario PCs let their landlord know as well so they can kick them out at the end of the lease.
Edit: Fuck, i just realized, without that protection, someone could literally bribe a landlord to kick you out at end of the lease.

GF is a residential and rental LTB stuff lawyer who works mostly for _landlords_ and everyone at her firm was like “whoa, no. This bill is fcking EVIL.”
When the lawyers on your side are like “no, this is bad shit”, you’re bad and you should feel bad.
So the really controversial provision was letting landlords evict tenants at the end of a lease term, because that would essentially kill rent control, which apparently Ontario has. I can both see why Doug Ford would do that and why there would be an outcry.
Who’s GF? I’m not sure what you mean with that part, and lawyers going against their clients interests would be more than just unusual.
GF = Girfriend. Not suprising this is lost on lemmy users /s
Heh.
Well, lawyers can still be 100% effective advocate for their client but still think that legislation that helps their clients is evil. It’s the ones who can’t keep it separate who are bad lawyers.
Yes, sorry, I didn’t realise you moved into a personal story there.
Ah, OP’s personal girlfriend. I was looking through the article for someone with those initials.
tbf the capitalization is misleading

That’s fair, they’re working in their class interests, and you should too by seeking the abolition of landlords.
OK, all of the changes they made are inhumane but this one…
Abolishing “security of tenure,” the guarantee that a tenancy be maintained on a month-to-month basis on the terms of the previous lease when a lease lapses or expires.
Holy shit.
That’s how you never get to live anywhere without a (NSFW)

lubeless ass fucking every year.
Is there a list anywhere of who’s pushing for this?
Can we abolish fascist ford and all his minions instead please.
