    I expect to be told why it’s bad that Doug Ford is rebating money to Ontarians, but it’s good, actually, that I got my Canada Carbon Rebate cheque in the mail.

  2. This egregious. Doug Ford can’t even cut a cheque for the 50,000-70,000 autistic kids Ford promised not to leave behind. Our autistic children were promised by Ford $45000 for autism support. Because the wait list is 6-7 years long, Ford is intentionally delaying paying vulnerable special needs kids so he pays them less or nothing at all.

    Ontario Autism Program provides kids with $45,000 up to age 6. Then after age 6 they only get $5000. Clearly Ford can wave a wand a pull $3.2 billion out of his ass, what is required to save our children. But he gives $200 to people who can vote instead in this vote buying scam. Ford owes families $40k as promised, and $3.2 billion is needed every 2 years to clear the wait list.

    This deserves consequences. Will you stand for the most vulnerable in our society?

  3. Legualt did the same thing in Quebec and it’s a fundamentally flawed approach. Either pay down existing debts, invest in services /infrastructure, or cut taxes. This is nothing more than an ineffectual government handout that I don’t want.

    I’m a conservative, but come on. Do something productive with the money! This is the same shit that pisses me off with the federal liberals.
