Dear @Sflecce:
I wish you could understand how unsettling, nerve-wracking, *insert uneasy synonym here* it is to approach a new school year as a parent of a special needs child. But you wonât. You may have read a handful of briefings or listened to colleagues tell you

how your government is doing a âstand upâ job at special educationâbut until youâve fathered children of your own who may need a little more in Ontario, you wonât know.
I wish you could know how maddening it is to hear you talk about how âwonderfullyâ your govt is

Is it safe to say so much of what we have come to love (and hate) about Ontario will be forever changed on Thursday night?
As a Dad of young children, & teacher, I'm struggling with what a PC majority might mean for school communities, the environment, and our health care system.

I have knocked on doors, made phone calls and talked with friends and neighbours. I am voting with a few on Thursday in order to help get out the vote, but I'm afraid it won't be enough.
At this time, I really think the only chance we have of stopping Ford and his PCs is to swallow our preferred party pride, check our hearts, and vote for the candidate most likely to defeat the PC candidate, riding by riding.
@MacLeodLisa is my MPP in #Nepean. How unbelievably sad that over the years weâve become completely desensitized to her antics; this type of story is almost expected. I have autistic children. We have been deeply, deeply hurt by MacLeodâs policies. But weâve also had enough face
time (or attempted face time) with the Minister to know that #Nepean deserves so much better. Our community has been publicly accused of trying to run her out of office. I think her record might do the job on its own.
We had been invited to an Autism Roundtable in January 2019.

@MacLeodLisa abruptly walked out of the meeting when the questions got tough.
I was invited into the Ministerâs office during the first Ottawa protest after she made the Autism announcement that would send the program and families into a downward spiral for 3 years & counting.

#onpoli #VoteFordOut here are key ridings where you can make a difference by voting strategically to prevent the Doug Ford Conservatives from forming government.
Ajax riding, the strategic vote is Ontario Liberal. Otherwise Ford may win this seat. Don't be fooled by his candidate that was on the school board, they have no interest in public education. NONE.
#Brampton East a riding that could MOVE to Doug Ford's PC's if the voters don't support the NDP in this riding.
1/ Tonight, maybe three blocks away from where I sit, a Santa Claus parade is still chugging itâs way down the Main Street in Barrhaven, #Nepean. I was there. But I had to leave.
My husband left maybe 10 minutes before I did. My son Jack has severe autism, and each year we try

2/ our luck with the parade, and each year, itâs no better than the last. Too late, too many flashing lights, too many bad memories from the year before. This year may have been the nail in the coffin. He doesnât have many words to tell us, but itâs clear this âfunâ Christmas
3/ activity just isnât for him. My husband took him ahead home leaving me with my daughter who is also on the autism spectrum.
The Parade has been cause for reflection for me. A year ago, we stood roadside, and with just the right amount of happenstance, @MacLeodLisaâs

@timporter_ONT If this is your idea of consultation, then I think we might have discovered the crux of the problem, here. Firstly, I donât believe there is a single member of the Autism Community who believes those Dec-Jan âRoundTablesâ were actually consultation.
The Ministryâs Plan was prepared. Those meetings were a smokescreen. A last attempt effort to try to get approval for your disaster program you were preparing to unleash on families in crisis. I would love to see evidence that even one parent consulted supported an age cap.
Lifetime cut-offs. Flat rates. None of this is in line with what parents actually need. January 28 was a farce. 14 parents sat and were timed for 3 minutes. We were given our opportunity to say âNeeds based servicesâ. I chose to ask the Minister how she felt about the ASD
