Me thinks that may be slightly adjusted downwards when he starts focusing on cuts because the Feds can only bail him out for so long
In the meantime he’s laser focused on reading his teleprompter ��

There is no one better that could be leading the province right now.

Lol
Other Andrew Scheer or Stephen Harper
Oh wait bring back Mike Harris I think he has successfully guided Charterwell s long term care companies and there is always Brian Mulroney who makes 14 million a year as a director of a cannabis company

I like Pascoli who delivers my pizza ��

He's deserved the approval when dealing with covid. Not perfect but more good than bad. When the emergency is over I'm sure he'll go back to being a Ford and those numbers will drop.

You do know that Scheer and Harper are federal and not provincial government right?

What point are you desperately trying to make?

I think his leadership through this pandemic has shown many who did not support him before that he's genuine.

My only critique of what he has done through this is that he has kept too many government workers being paid full wages for doing nothing, where that money could have gone to healthcare.

I don't doubt he's genuine. I generally don't like what the genuineness shows about him. What I respect is unlike many other circumstances where he's made off the cuff decisions, he's actually listening to expert advice and putting thought into his actions. Doubt it will last though. I'm sure we'll see more laws passed for important things like $0.95 beers while more public services get outsources like those nursing homes.

Ford just passed legislation allowing landlords to evict people easier during the pandemic.
That won't be popular.

It won't be popular with tenants and landlords that have been taking advantage of the current laws...seems reasonable:

From bill 184:
1. Compensation from Former Tenants


Currently, landlords are permitted to apply under Sections 87 and 89 of the RTA for the purpose of seeking compensation for rental arrears, overholding or damage to a rental unit where a tenant remains in actual possession of the rental unit beyond the expiry date of the lease. Bill 184 proposes to expand the application of these sections by permitting landlords to apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board (the “Board”) for this purpose after the tenant vacates the unit, as long as the application is made within one year of the date that the tenant vacated.

Additionally, Bill 184 would permit landlords to apply to the Board to seek compensation with respect to a tenant interfering with another tenant’s reasonable enjoyment of the residential complex, as well as a tenant’s failure to pay any utility costs for which it was responsible, within one year from the date that the former tenant vacated the rental unit.

As such, landlords will be pleased to learn that they may no longer be restricted from pursuing a former tenant for compensation after the tenant has vacated the rental unit.

2. Improperly increased rents deemed not void

Currently, Section 135(1) of the RTA provides that a tenant or former tenant of a rental unit may apply to the Board for an order requiring the landlord to pay the tenant any money that the landlord collected as rent in contravention of the RTA, whether as a result of improper notice of a rental increase or a rental increase above the prescribed guideline amount set out by the Ontario Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs on an annual basis, provided that the application seeking such order was filed with the Board no more than one year after the illegal rent was paid.

Bill 184 proposes that a tenant cannot seek reimbursement for an improper rental increase if the tenant has already paid the increased rent for at least twelve consecutive months, provided that the tenant did not make an application to the Board challenging the validity of that rental increase within one year from the date that the rental increase was first charged.

3. Increased Cost Consequences of Terminating a Tenancy in Bad Faith

Currently, if the Board concludes that a landlord has acted in bad faith in terminating a tenancy under Sections 48, 49 or 50 of the RTA by reason of the landlord’s personal use, a purchaser’s personal use, or for demolition, conversion or substantial renovation, the Board may order the landlord to compensate the former tenant for: (i) any portion of increased rent that it has incurred or will incur for a one-year period after vacating the rental unit; and (ii) reasonable out-of-pocket moving, storage or similar expenses incurred, as well as an administrative fine not exceeding $35,000.00.

Bill 184 proposes to supplement these potential penalties by permitting the Board in this context and in the Board’s discretion to also require the landlord to compensate its former tenant(s) in an amount equal to up to twelve months’ rent at the monthly rate last charged by the landlord to that tenant.

Ford should get re-elected easily, who's going to stop him Andrea Horwath.

You Trudeau haters should be shooting your sburra to the ceiling. Just think, if Peter McKay becomes Conservative Leader you're getting a blue McGuinty.

McKay who spearheaded Bill C-36. Say bye to safe hobbing if he becomes PM.

It's inevitable that there will be a second wave, is Ford prepared to shut down again? I don't trust Ford with that decision.

Peter McKay is the worst kind of politician, he's both a serial liar and a coward. I don't have much love for Andrew Scheer, he made some bad decisions that lost him the last election but he didn't deserve to be stabbed in the back by McKay. The wimp didn't even have the gumption to voice his criticism to Scheer's face.

Usually when an insider subverts a sitting head of state or leader of a party, he/she is sidelined. That's what happened in the UK when Michael Hazeltine brought down Margaret Thatcher. He was considered the favorite to become the next Prime Minister but was sidelined by the party in favour of the decent John Major. Canadian Conservatives should heed that lesson well if they want to be the ruling party again. Jason Kenney is the voice of reason by backing Erin O'Toole. I don't know that much about him but if McKay is the other option, you can only go up.

Doing this in the middle of a pandemic will come back to haunt Ford.
The only ones that will care about this are the people who wouldn't vote for him anyway. Pandemic or no pandemic.
He may even gain supporters who like the new bill.

There are many who voted for Ford, who are tenants and will remember it when the next election comes around!!

Typical cases and hardships that face tenants:

The NDP is calling for a rent subsidy of up to $2,500 over four months for tenants who have lost income due to the pandemic, and for increased legislative protection against lockout and evictions.
“We can’t rely on the kindness of individual landlords to help people get through this crisis,” Morrison said. “People need the government to step up with real support.”

She cited the case of a tenant in her downtown Toronto riding named Emily who recently received an eviction notice from her landlord one hour after offering to pay as much of her rent as she could.

Emily had lost all her income due to the pandemic and is trying to survive on federal emergency benefits. But with her 400-square-foot apartment costing her $1,500 a month, she has only $500 left from the CERB to cover food, utilities and medications related to a recent emergency dental surgery.

“There’s simply no way to work the math, so she went back to her landlord and said she could afford to pay $1,100,” Morrison said.

The N4 form arrived soon after, meaning Emily has two weeks to make up the difference or risk having her landlord apply to have her case added to those backing up at the tribunal.

While the LTB typically receives between 3,500 and 4,000 L1 eviction applications from landlords each month, that number dipped to around 2,500 in March and to 1,400 in April, a spokesperson said. But none by the most urgent cases are currently being heard.

There are many that will benefit from this new bill and will remember it as well. Not just landlords but tenants too.

Tenants and landlords that have been taking advantage of the previous arrangements are the only ones who won't like. These would be the minority as most tenants and landlords are honest and fair.
