Acorn Ontario Gets Evicted from the Legislature

Last week, the Ford government passed Bill 60. The Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act. According to the Ontario government, this will grow the rental supply in Ontario and take care of bad actors in the rental market. Critics, however, say all this will do is hasten evictions and exacerbate the homeless crisis in our cities. One organization is Acorn Canada. Who had one of their members infamously ejected from the legislature with Doug Ford calling on him to 'Get a Job'. I reached out to Acorn to invite them on to this episode to talk about why they think that Bill 60 will make the housing situation in Ontario even worse than it already is.
