First I drink the coffee, then I put on many layers, pick up some friends, drive to Queen’s Park, then scream my head off for my daughter, all kids with Autism and all kids in school who will be effected by @MacLeodLisa ‘s terrible “plan”. #autismprotest
A parent of a child with autism yelled out to @MacLeodLisa from the visitor's gallery through tears BEGGING for REAL services and therapy from this @fordnation PC govt for her kid. Lisa ignored them and was laughing moments later... #autismprotest#AutismDoesntEndAtFord#onpoli
MPP Randy Hillier remains suspended from Doug Ford's Ontario PC caucus for his "Yada, yada, yada" comment to parents of children with autism.
Why is Hillier being held to this standard but @MacLeodLisa gets away with defunding & bullying autism families & organizations? #ONPoli
If we're being honest, this situation is going to continue to happen every 4 years. What we need is LEGISLATION to protect our children. Not term-based goverments. Laws. We needs laws. #FreezeGate#FalseHope#TheProtestIsComing#AutismDoesntEndAtFord
@MacLeodLisa
Magical moment: this is my cameraman @CityAlfredo showing 8 year old Bilal, who has severe autism, how his camera works. Bilal has been getting 30 hours of ABA therapy a week. #onpoli
Today it was a hard day as a behavior analyst.. as someone who cares so deeply.. in 5 weeks one of my kids will be thrown in a regular grade 2 classroom with no support... he just started speaking fluently... devastating @MacLeodLisa #ResignLisaMacLeod
When asked about how her office threatened parents and demanded endorsements in advance that said the govt was on "the right track", MacLeod ignores the question and reverts to talking points.
Mulroney stares blankly. 😐

@JaimeBCBA @MacLeodLisa Is this a matter of wordsmithing? Are they arguing that “continuous registration”, “only those with previous service commitments” is not “freezing the waitlist”’when most others outside the gov’t would say it is? Honestly not sure but a thought?
Watch as NDP MPP @MTaylorNDP is asked to leave the chamber after demanding answers for families with children with autism.
Doug Ford's minister Lisa MacLeod lied to these families and New Democrats are demanding better. #BeLikeMonique#AutismDoesntEndAtFord
The fact that Lisa MacLeod and Doug Ford froze autism therapy waiting lists and decided to lie to parents about it is reprehensible.
How can they do this to children?
Families deserve more care for their kids, not less.
#AutismDoesntEndAtFord#Onpoli
Parents with children on the spectrum have no choice but to keep fighting. That means we have to keep fighting alongside them. Thank you, @MTaylorNDP, for not backing down. #onpoli#AutismDoesNotEndAtFORD
Put that #conspiracy theory to bed @MacLeodLisa...if you're feeling paranoid, follow your gut and bail....healthy paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness. #TruthIsComing#ResignLisaMacLeod
