      @CanadaPlus @NightOwl

      To save more clicks, after an overwhelming torrent of backlash and complaint, they’re already walking it back:

      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.

            @WizardGed @CanadaPlus

            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.

    That’s fair, they’re working in their class interests, and you should too by seeking the abolition of landlords.
