Don’t forget that Ford in 2019, slashed the Ontario Forest Firefighting base budget by 67% (a reduction of approximately $142 million) Then, in 2025, it was another $42 million cut. It’s almost as if the man is an incompetent oaf, incapable of making good decisions.
As a disabled person, I believe the right to a dignified death is vital, but it can only truly exist alongside the right to a dignified life, accomplished by policies like universal head-to-toe public healthcare.
Without the right to live, death turns from choice to obligation.
Avi Lewis: "We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? Do the police services make money? We're talking about a fundamental public service."
tell me again how we need to spend billions and billions of dollars on the military and AI while the homeless population in Ontario is that of a small city

Here is an excerpt from the inaugural issue of The Disability Bulletin:
"Alberta is the only exception to this. If a recipient of Alberta's disability assistance - Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (#AISH)- applies and receives the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit, their monthly AISH funding will decrease by the amount they receive from the CDB.

The Premier of Alberta, #DanielleSmith, rationalizes the decision by noting the higher income support Alberta provides in comparison to the other provinces. (Alberta provides up to $1901 per month whereas the second highest rate is $1483 in B.C.)
Speaking with Wayne Nelson on the Alberta talk radio show "Your Province. Your Premier." Smith says, "We also can't be so far out of whack with the other provinces that people move here just to be on our social programs"
"The Disability Bulletin" is here! @ODSPoor and I have started a newspaper all about disability & disability poverty. Below is link to our cover story for the first issue where I interviewed @HubertVan from @EveryCdnCounts https://t.co/Wo5qFTI8mA
From small acorns, tall oaks grow. I don’t think you can get more grassroots than was has been started here. Well done Emily and Mitch. @EveryCdnCounts
We are so proud to announce our first edition of #TheDisabilityBulletin is now live!

There is a hyperlink filled digital pdf version or you can request a physical copy as we printed several as well.
The Disability Bulletin issue 1 was created by myself and the director of Disposable: Life on ODSP, a two person team using lived experience, secondary education and whatever tools at hand to showcase the disability community with respect and without fluff.
Check the last page for info on how to submit work or art for our next issue in March.
Thank you so much!

The students who took these tests, in grades 3 and 6, have never known an education system that was not run by the Ford government.
These results are 100% on them.
Speed cameras were working but too many Ford insiders got caught speeding in school zones so now we have to pay for large signage to replace the speed cameras and bigger poles as well.
The Doug Ford experience, everyone.
you see this for maybe 20 mins on a cold night and then get off and go to your home you pay for with your executive level job. this person has to get off the train and find another place to rest where they won’t freeze bc shelters are full. and yet you call this “your life”
