neufast This is comparable to the cost of a one bedroom apartment in Toronto.
And reduced the rental allowance of those who are on disability. That should be the complete headline.
Jenn_Pastrak Note that the better paid cabinet ministers gave themselves a bigger raise so that their housing allowance is greater than that of the backbenchers
This is a poor out of touch decision by the current government.
Paid for by OSAP students who are losing their 6 month interest free grace period. Government for the MPP’s, not the people.
They canceled tuition help for struggling families.
Wow this is fucking disgusting. Politicians make cake and then they still want to stuff there pockets. And then say nothing to help ppl. Assistance is a joke. Homelessness is literally killing people. These guys make 6 figures a year
So we pay them over 115 grand a year and on top of that they get 2,300$ a month of non taxable income? Time to shut the whole city down until these pieces of crap stop robbing us.
__unequivocal__
Lmao nice. For the (rich) people, yet again.
At least you are transparent fordnation, you hate the people of Ontario, everyone that is not a millionaire. Ontarians won't forget this onpoli
LOL the irony
This is an early April fools Day joke right?
No minimum wage, no tuition help, plans to sell off our green belt land, and more awful things to come, but Conservatives make sure their rental allowance is increased. Why did anyone believe that Doug is 'for the people'?
Instead of doing something about affordable housing, they just give themselves a raise. I wonder if an actual 'government for the people' would pull that kind of bs.
'they've been paying out of their own pockets' - like to see evidence of that statement.
They are worried about their rent but could care less about students worried about their university tuition...yep makes sense
Should have been a politician. Don’t need any education or experience, don’t need any good ideas, don’t even need to be charismatic - but look at the extremely cushy lifestyle you get. The rest of us working for a living and barely scraping by, we’re fucking suckers.
I mean, surely every one of you saw this coming, right? We knew what we were getting. We get the government that we deserve.
Pretty scuzzy move .
Why oh why do people vote against their own interests. It was clear what Ford stood for when his brother was mayor of Toronto.
Cut their housing allowance just like they cut out tuition grants. Would love to see how they react. And why do they have to live here? Do they work 5 days a week here? Fuck the system! No one truly gives a shit about other, only themselves if you really think about it.
Commute like the rest of us, bitches!! And really, how often do these privileged asses really advocate for the people they represent and not just their party and personal interests?!?
Why not use Presto and commute into TO like the rest of the people they callously forget onpoli
Their self-gifted monthly housing allowance, alone, is now MORE than one's gross monthly earnings at full time minimum wage! Then, the MPPs receive their other allowances AND salary on top, while for those at $14/h we must remember the deductions from their pay! 15andFairness
I think politicians should not have any additional allowance until the people have that
I thought the US had it bad with politicians voting for self raises, and Good healthcare, and lucrative pensions... While screwing the general population from receiving minimum wage hikes, have quality Healthcare, and paying it's workers(gov't).
Looking out for you.....not
Take away from the needy NatKusendova and give to themselves. What's to be proud of?
Piggies at the trough. Do as I say, not as I do. fordnation you’re a hypocrite.
Making Ontario Great Again... For his fing cronies!!!! Hope the suckers who voted him in enjoy this latest achievement.
Wow, just Wow!!
Taking care of their people and not taking care of the people in Ontario! shame
The PC party are acting like the liberals corrupts. We are disappointed with this politician They all are the same 🤮🤮🤮
I'm laughing at the jokers who voted for these jokers, and I commiserate with everyone who is suffering under them.
Slimeballs
What about all the other people who work downtown and rent ? Like nurses etc
Wow, meanwhile us regular Ontarians are paying the high rents without these so called rental assistance grants. How is this fair? Must be nice to be an Ontario politician (OntarioNDP, OntarioPCParty, OntLiberal and being paid with our tax money. onpoli Bullcrap
Ontario MPP's = mofos
Yet they cut basic funding to anyone who isn't a politician. Can't wait till they vote themselves a raise after canceling the $15 minimum wage
Their salary is 6 figures. They can afford to pay their own rent.
Yknow I ain’t a politician but I pay my rent without assistance from the Ontario Government...can I get a credit for my high TO rent?
If they were funded by JUDAS THEY COULD GET REFUGEE STATUS FOUR STAR FREE
They make over $100 thousand a year. You know who doesn't make that much money and also live in the GTA? The workers making minimum wage and people on social assistance who have had their increases stopped by these crooks.
Reminds me of this pcpo tool.
.beyrima Your party just made me regret voting for you. Unfollowed and unforgiven.
Wow. So those of us making minimum wage should be able to afford Toronto’s sky high rents, but MPPs can’t
Taking lessons from USA. Welcome to the new Conservative movement or as we in Ontario call them 'Progressive Conservatives'
This isn't news.
Seriously? Come on fordnation if rent is too high for well paid mpp's just think how its hitting us working stiffs? Work on affordable housing. Until such time let the mpp's of all parties feel the sting that their constituents feel. This isnt partisan it's just right.
If they truly want to live like Torontonians, apply the 1 MPP = 1 Councillor back home. 2 each for Kingston, Windsor, Sudbury....3 each for London, Hamilton, etc.
ONpoli OntarioPCParty values: raising the minimum wage = bad raising the MPP wage = good
Pigs at the trough!!
definitely gonna see more interest in MPP candidacy in next election
Look after your own & eff everyone else. Par for the course.
on the salary that these MPP's receive, aww come on, they can afford it. This increase was not necessary
Oh nice of them to have that luxury..meanwhile rent in toronto is going up up and away
😂😂😂 AffordableHousingNews... Onpoli
Ok so now raise your mortgages by a $2,000 for yourselves and see how yous like being stuck it up your arses
Imagine that who is giving torontonians a raise to pay rents that is higher because of Canada stays ( Airbnb) that John uber Tory is on the board of directors. Airbnb is here to stay
Remember this when they expire and you are told to never speak ill of the dead.
while rent control & other tenant protections remain weak they ensure that the taxpayers make their living conditions comfortable Onpoli
But the minimum wage stays the same
During the same time they cut access to higher education through cuts to “the people”
The gravy train has diverted here. Thanks fordnation
Raise their allowance but take away college n uni money. Hmmm something stinks.
