Ontario Premier Doug Ford is doubling down after telling someone in the public gallery to “find a job,” claiming they were a paid, professional protester.
As the Ford government passed its controversial rental reform omnibus legislation, Bill 60 , on Monday, furious shouts of “people over profit” and “you’re putting people on the street” rained down from the public gallery.
As protesters were escorted from the chamber, Ford appeared to shout at one of them to “find a job” from his seat within the legislature.
Opponents said the comment shouldn’t have been made.
“That’s uncalled for. He’s got a short fuse, and that’s just inappropriate,” Ontario Liberal MPP John Fraser said. “It’s totally unbecoming of the office of the premier.”
Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles said the comments
