We could have been rid of this or at the least it could have been manageable. We could have had Halloween, Christmas with few problems if #DougFord'd just pumped the brakes.
(Text In image - Image shows a previous message warning #DougFord not to "Trump it" and open too soon, as well as the progression of cases in #Ontario, highlighting how we had cases down to 70 daily & now up to 1400 daily as well as dates that #covid related events happened) 2/6

he rushed to get kids back to school
in unsafe conditions not following plans
in the “sick kids report” which even those
I considered to be too loose. 4/6
“Kids can’t get it” “Students are fine”

Dear @AndreaHorwath - Since becoming the official opposition party to Doug "We have no money for disabled" Ford you have sent Exactly 8 tweets that uses the terms disability / disabled / disabilities / odsp. Of those 8 tweets only 3 have been sent since the Covid Lockdown 1/11
In total, as far as can find there is only record of you sending 13 tweets since 2013 with any of those keywords.
0 discuss the poverty in which they find themselves FORCED into through no fault of their own.
0 times ODSP is actually used in a tweet sent by you
2/11
It is bad enough having to deal with Ford stating publicly
on or around May 15th that there is sadly no money to help people on odsp (beyond the pathetic $100 short term bump that takes the people to 35% below poverty instead of 40%)
Dear @JustinTrudeau@CanadianPM
On / around March 12th of this year you entered into a period of majority home isolation. I've personally felt this was great leadership, by example.
I ask you now to reflect upon this time & consider how you would accomplish this on #ODSP 1/25
I have taken the liberty of writing out a scenario for you.
You are on the $1,971 Double Disabled rate.
Its just you and your wife. You live at the apartment building on 80 Rideau Terrace. (very near where you live now)
They rent a one bedroom at $1369 per month. 2/25
The avg hydro in ontario is $125 month
Because you & ur wife in this scenario are both
disabled you both need a phone in case of an emergency.
Low cost cell phone plans are $45, lets assume you got a family plan from @FreedomMobile where a 2nd line is $15 so $65 after tax 3/25
