When convenience stores become the main vehicle for retail bier delivery, we’re going to experience a cultural paradigm shift Ontarians will NEVER expect. You’ll see for yourselves soon enough.

I’ve been on OW twice. I was denied ODSP *repeatedly* during the times I was most vulnerable, unable to fight, & needed the help. I was my only advocate as a psychiatry patient. It took 22 yrs to get my shrinks to listen to me. Since then, I’ve been employed for 6.5 yrs. 1/ I survived bc my family supplemented me. I LITERALLY had to DIAGNOSE MYSELF and then it took me 3yrs for my shrink to even consider my self-reporting. But I won...and what did I win? 2/

A government that cancelled the implementation of actual Indigenous and Canadian history from being added to the curriculum. (2/16)
