I was contacted by an ODSP employment provider in Ontario who asked me to help get a message out about Ford's privatization of our social services and healthcare, so they could be anonymous. It's important and will be a big thread. These are their words: #onpoli
"People need to know what’s’ going on behind the scenes as they have vague notions about privatization with healthcare and social services but they don’t understand the how this is happening and where it’s coming from. Ford 2 years ago brought in American companies who have
been figuring out what approach / messaging to take that would be ‘acceptable’ to Canadians with the intent of cutting our services. They became non profit agencies in Canada. So they can call themselves “Canadian” non profits. Our tax payer money is paying them to chip away
at our healthcare and social service systems. We will wind up being paid huge tax dollars to then to have our services be made minimal and virtually nonexistent. They are calling it privatization – but it is privatization with these companies as the decision makers.
These companies are really good marketers/sales people and know how to make things “look and feel” good.The tip of the Iceburg is that they are transferring ODSP employment assistance and supports to help people on ODSP find and maintain employment. They are moving this from
from Social Service to the ministry of labour colleges and universities....going from region to region switching these services over to be ‘managed’ by these companies – making huge profits from this with ODSP and OW’s employment supports. They are paying our agencies assisting
these clients less than ODSP paid has done and I assume taking the rest of our hard earned tax dollars. They are distracting the job developers and counsellors working with the clients looking for work with at least double the administrative work and have put in place an alga
rhythms so one agency cannot share a client with another agency – even though they may have different expertise and ways to support and help the client with obtaining employment. So why is Ford doing this??? There is no advantage to the tax payer – there are huge disadvantages –
the only conclusion anyone can come to is -He is doing it for the kick backs and that appears to be how he operates. pressprogress.ca/doug-ford-is-p…
Ford has opened the door for these are American companies coming into Canada-acquiring non profit status here & making huge amounts from tax payer’s money & allotting a small stipend of it for us to have our social & health services & to the mentally ill & poverty stricken & ill"
I tried contacting journalists about this for over a week and had no luck. But the person would be happy to talk to one today if they can be unnamed in the article. @ConsumerSOS @CBCQueensPark @CityCynthia @pressprogress They also called their MPP about this. @Ont_Ombudsman
I was just given this information and the person asked if the Press Progress group has FOI’d any information for their pieces. tcu.gov.on.ca/eng/eopg/progr… Qualified Applicants under the Request for Qualification Ten
Here are details about the key performance indicators. tcu.gov.on.ca/eng/eopg/publi…
There are too many comments for me to manage, so I apologize for missing people. Just popping in to say none of the journalists tagged (multiple times) have contacted me. I would love for them to chat up and verify all the docs the whistleblower has.
What can you do? Call Ford/CPC MPPs & be mad. Call NDP/Liberal/Green & tell them to mount legal defences. Call federal & ask for healthcare protection laws put into @CdnHumanRights. Call @Ont_Ombudsman for more investigations. Indigenous groups might have data laws to lean on.
OHIP will not cover the needle for diabetics now.
I had cancer in the States. Had insurance and it still cost me loads of money. You do not want that life. Do not vote CPC. It costs us more in healthcare and taxes when we don’t pay for screening and prevention health.
I had cervical cancer. Do not recommend. The assistive device program in Ontario also doesn’t cover the $7k machine I need to be in for 2 hours a night to manage the lymphedema I developed after cancer.

Since I have run into this a lot already today, here are my thoughts on voting in the Provincial election if you are trying to get Ford out but also disability policy is very important to you. A 🧵
Spoiler, there is no good answer. We are not going to get everyone to rally for Liberal or NDP as they both have come out with disappointing disability policies. There are many good programs both suggest, but none of those programs equate to food, housing and physical therapy.
For the record, Greens are on top with doubling ODSP, then NDP with 20% right away and indexing it to inflation, then the Liberals at 20% over two years and then tied to inflation. CPC threw out 5% because they felt left out. 20%+ of $1169 still doesn't cover market rent.
