@BowersWrites My grandfather and his 2 brothers were there. All returned home but two of them died young and one of them spent the rest of his life in and out of a mental hospital suffering no doubt from what we now know as PTSD. I visited in 2016 for the anniversary.

@gregmarshall59 @Garnet_2203 But it was free on Christmas Day!

@Garnet_2203 @PfParks My son had a double transplant. Airlifted from Ottawa to London. Two surgical teams (kidney and pancreas) for six hours of surgery in the middle of the night. One week in hospital. Cost to us: $0.

@NCC_CCN I was there - they did a great job!

@poneilinOttawa They used to be great vote getters but DFO has spent years trying to depoliticize Small Craft Harbours funding and decision making.

@RichardCityNews Cruel and despicable. Thousands of people on ODSP can’t afford a couch or even a home, let alone a time-machine to go back and watch The Flintstones!

@LauraBabcock @TDotResident Don’t forget his promise not to kill the basic income pilot that was underway.

@gator_gum I think what they’re really saying is that’s what they would do if they worked for the government.

[Sharon Ashley @Sharon2Ashley]

@Crofter1798 @Mitch6669 Sadly ODSP does not provide enough income to cover necessities. Not even close. Particularly when you consider that most people on disability have additional expenses over and above those faced by others.

[Sharon Ashley @Sharon2Ashley]

@Mitch6669 @ContestJean In fact, I’m not even sure ODSP + $1,000 earned income would put you over the poverty line.

[Sharon Ashley @Sharon2Ashley]

@Mitch6669 @ContestJean And that’s great but it should be noted that the vast number of people legitimately on disability are unable to work no matter how much they would like to and are left to exist at below the deep poverty rate.

@MarcMillerVM @MountainDreami2 So are we getting rid of both CBC and CTV now? Fox News for all!

[Sharon Ashley @Sharon2Ashley]

@AshleyFoxRPN So offensive! Does he not realize that only a small percentage of ODSP recipients are actually able to work part time?!

[Sharon Ashley @Sharon2Ashley]

@DrAnnLopez Lifting rent controls didn’t help either. Same for failure to implement the recommendations of the task force on housing affordability

[Sharon Ashley @Sharon2Ashley]

@DrAnnLopez Anyone on Ontario Disability is living below the poverty line and dependent on food banks. Also those who can’t qualify for disability because their partner has a low wage job and is expected to support them both.

@MountainDreami2 You’re not alone - I saw a pick-up truck with flags today and was happily surprised to see an “Every Child Matters” flag among them.

@Acyn Seriously?! Normal people prefer the privacy of their trial or their nominating convention!
