800,000 people are out of work. Doug Ford is a jobs disaster.
Now, with Bill 60, he wants to raise rents and make it easier for people to lose their homes.
I’m taking a stand. I just sent an email to my MPP and Doug Ford with a clear demand: Stop Bill 60!

Useful for semantic and accessibility
Here, the example is a simple addition
