Shouts and chants rained down upon politicians at the Ontario legislature Monday as the government passed a housing bill that critics say makes it easier for landlords to evict tenants.

"People over profits," members of ACORN Canada, a tenant advocacy group, chanted from the public gallery at Queen's Park at the time of the vote.

At one point, Premier Doug Ford told the yelling crowd to "go find a job."

Despite temptation, I have not once yelled that at the perma-protestors at a nearby abortion clinic. I also have not thrown fake fetuses, nor installed a high-dB air horn and hoped for a drive-by coronary.

I am the embodiment of restraint. Or something.

Don't fall into the trap of decency, these people have already written you off as a person. Decent behaviour limits activism, they may very well stop protesting outside of healthcare facilities if they're bullied away. Chuds understand that people don't want to be mean and they see that as a weakness in you that can be manipulated to their benefit.
