And


I Cite examples of actions and basis of actions you have taken in recent history.

You have acknowledged & stated Ontario recognizes its obligations in regards to the #CRPD (1/?)
On June 11, 2021 the Minister acting as head of #ODSP, Todd Smith acknowledges what their publicly released stats have stated, that the majority of those on ODSP cannot work. (hence, the entire point of the program)
2/
May 22nd 2021 Premier Ford (via a press conference)
"its very tough for people on ODSP" "we're gonna help them anyway we can" 3/
Sept 3 2021, Premier Ford to @CityCynthia
(Verbatim)
"but there are people that just physically can't take care of themselves, those are the people we should be taking care of and we will.." 4/
"..so I'll make sure I have that in-depth discussion with the minister, it's very very important we take care of people that can't take care of themselves" 5/
I Cite the Preamble to the now defunct Bill C35
written by Minister Qualtrough, acknowledging the various ways that the #Disabled have been and presently are being harmed 6/ Image
I additionally cite #CRPD Article 4 Section 1 Subsections a,b,c,d,e, Article 4 Sections 2 & 5 ;Articles 10, 11, 19 & 19a, 25 & 25a

The Constitution Act 1982 (80) Part 1 section 7 & 12

Canadian Human Rights act (1977) Section 5 & 5a
un.org/development/de… As examples of.. 7/
of the statutes being Violated each and every day, week, month and year that ODSP rates remain 45% below poverty and I implore you to take any and all action needed to prevent further Human Rights Violations from taking place and continuing. 8/
You have made public requests regarding various issues of interest (such as to the mayor of Brock, just hours ago)
You have sent letters requesting specific actions be taken (such as to Minister Cho)
and you have taken literal legal action as in the case of Prisons.. 8/
failing to uphold obligations against inmates with mental health issues being placed in solitary.

So I now ask you, to maintain and continue your example set and shown in the preceding tweets above as to your abilities to engage when sufficient evidence is shown 9/
Which highlights human rights violations.

Further more to prevent any question if your intervention will be required because "maybe they'll raise the rates next week ?"

I cite a statement from the Ford Government to @CBCNews following an ODSP Rally which took place 10/
On or around September 28 / 29..
"We look forward to the federal government fulfilling their campaign commitment to create the Canada Disability Benefit to increase the level of supports.." 11/
"..for those receiving the Ontario Disability Supports Program funding to more closely align with the Canadian Recovery Benefit levels."

This not only shows their acknowledgement of the need for the rates to be higher, but also their unwillingness to act themselves. 12/
In conclusion, Please engage.
This is literally me giving you everything you need on a silver platter.

And that goes not just for you,
that goes for @CityNewsTO @CTVNews @DavidLepofsky @djnontario @CdnHumanRights @UN

These human rights violations MUST STOP NOW. 13/13
(in case you don't check the quotes from quote tweets, @OntHumanRights please see the above thread in its entirety, thank you)
(Correction on Tweets 3 & 4 in series, dates reads as Sept 3 2021 - should be Sept 3 2020 - May 22nd 2021 should be May 22nd 2020 - )

Dear @cafreeland, let me save you four years, at least a thousand lives and $12,000,000 in 6 tweets or less.

Your going to commit $12,000,000 for discussions on how to include the most people possible and what to provide in a #Canada #disability benefit. It REALLY is #simple 1/6
In fact, it's SO simple that I'm using up extra words in my promised six tweets or less to highlight JUST how easy it is.

YOU'RE going to ask around, maybe get.. 200 or 300 opinions.. 80% will be from organizations. 70% of those will kiss your ass. half of the individuals 2/6
you ask will ask an opinion from, will ask for so much because they've had so little (for SO LONG) you'll discount them anyways. Here is what you need to do and how to do it. The next three tweets are simple. it's "How to do it" and "What to give" 3/6 #PWD #ODSP #SAID #AISH #CPPD

If I read #federalbudget of #Canada Correctly
@cafreeland committed $12M over THREE YEARS to TALKING about how to implement a disability benefit some point in the future (maybe)
(But $13M to ensure MAID happens)

So no #inclusion & #inclusive recovery for #ODSP #CPPD #SAID #AISH
At this rate, with what the provinces are doing to #PWD @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland You won't have to worry about #MAID or a #Disabilities Benefit cause the problem is going to "Solve itself"
They Can't Afford to live NOW Damn it !
3 weeks to invent #CERB
4 YEARS to maybe help PWD
How many more times are they supposed to say
"Maybe next year, people will care"
How many more decades ?
How many more wasted PWD lives because
Canada won't put the well being disabled people equal to those who are "Able" ?

How many more GENERATIONS @JustinTrudeau ?

@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation SO many things to hit at with this

There are 500,000 on #ODSP.
if its that easy, why are there only a couple hundred on here fighting, some of which aren't even ON odsp, their just fighting for those who are ?

What does that say about their ability to "tweet all day" ? 1/12
@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation do you know how much physical effort it takes to type out a tweet ? next to none. I can tweet with my left hand while brushing my tweet with my right while tap dancing if i was so inclined to do so.. do you think the people on ODSP are able to do the same ? 2/12
@yyzsxm @Toulla101 @pawprints1986 @fordnation you can literally tweet from the toilet while having an obstructed bowl attack.. do you think you could work, that you could put proper effort in to a job that someone would pay you for, while your stomach feels like its twisting inside out at random ? - (hint, nope !) 3/12

Covid in #Ontario in a picture.
Sadly #ThisAgedWell.

#DougFordResign #COVID19Ontario #Covid19 @imgrund

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
Text panel on right reads as:

Sadly for #Ontario,
This aged very well

in his rush to get everyone back
to work Doug Ford reopened the
entire province back up by July 31st
our last good day was August 9th. 3/6

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%)

THEN buy a natural gas plant (3/11)

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
