The Ford PCs have taken another step towards making their emergency measures permanent.

Yesterday, Ontario's three establishment parties got together one more time to vote in favour of the PC's Bill 100 - misleadingly named the "Keeping Ontario Open for Business Act, 2022" - on second reading.

Bill 100 makes some of the powers the Ontario PCs gave themselves under a state of emergency permanent.

These permanent measures include:

• Fines and/or jail time for anyone deemed to be "impeding access to or egress from, or the ordinary use of, protected transportation infrastructure."

• Giving the Registrar of Motor Vehicles the power to suspend or cancel the plate portion of a permit for a commercial motor vehicle or trailer or a CVOR certificate without a hearing.

• Giving police new powers to arrest without a warrant.

Like she did two years ago - as the only current or former PC MPP to vote against Doug Ford's Lockdown Bill, Bill 195 - Belinda voted "no" to more unnecessary government overreach in Bill 100.

Only three other MPPs stood with Belinda to oppose Bill 100: Green Party leader Mike Schreiner and Independents MPPs Roman Baber and Lindsey Park.

Team Sloan MPP, Rick Nicholls, skipped the vote.

Team Sloan MPP, Rick Nicholls, also couldn't be bothered to debate against the bill.

During the debate, PC MPPs couldn't explain why they need these draconian powers set into law permanently outside of a "state of emergency."

After listening to all three of Ontario's establishment parties agree with one another on yet another piece of draconian legislation, Belinda debated against Bill 100.
