    Don’t feed the trolls, don’t get the mogwai damp, and definitely don’t praise the Fr*nch.

      It may be a lie now but Conservatives are working hard to bring it closer to truth.

                  As opposed to the US where poverty doesnt exist and people just “stop being poor” because trump said so.

                                I am most likely going to be downvoted but I have to speak out.

                                I am a 4th generation Canadian and I love Canada. Been coast to coast a few times. I feel there is something very rotten happening in our country (specifically Ontario) when the standard of care for the less fortunate and disabled people’s level of help is below that of the US (pre rump).

                                I would read US articles on how this or that was being done for their autistic child from services provided by the state or prosthetics and think to myself why have I never seen any service like this for our autistic child? I look into it. Nope nothing.

                                We have been accepted for the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) and special Services At Home (SSAH). It has been three years and we have still not seen any funding. Our child has had no support, no funding for their entire life so far.

                                This means that they will have permanent developmental issues for life without therapy. Worst part is we are not alone or unique in this, this is happening to thousands of autistic people across Ontario.

                                I won’t go into a longer rant here you can always look at my profile to see more on these topics.

                                We as Canadians need to stop “saying” we take care of our disabled and actually take care of them. Being in this nightmare limbo is horrible. Decide to take care of them or ship us off to the camps. At least we would not be in limbo anymore.

                                  Well you see, she’s really talking about millionaire and billionaire comforts in Canada as compared to rich people in other parts of the world. They have it so, so much worse here, it’s downright barbaric! Hopefully that clears things up.

                                    I know its not a real solution, but that is one reason we moved from Ontario to BC, BC has way better social support services.

                                      To be fair I think she clearly meant in the OECD, where we are second to last behind Luxembourg in GDP per capita growth, falling well short of inflation.

                                      Meanwhile we are capping ourselves to lower our own standard of living and not even fighting climate change to do so, as we perform mass immigration to hide falling productive growth.

                                      This then largely falls on the poor whose rents doubled and who are overwhelming the food banks. The rich already own a home and they invest outside of Canada, which Caroline Rogers has then increasingly warned about our diminishing investment into Canada.

                                        It’s easy to get to Mogadishu too – parachute, clown cannon, cruise ship. Sorted.

                                        We could make a sport of it.

                                          We have been accepted for the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) and special Services At Home (SSAH). It has been three years and we have still not seen any funding. Our child has had no support, no funding for their entire life so far.

                                          This means that they will have permanent developmental issues for life without therapy. Worst part is we are not alone or unique in this, this is happening to thousands of autistic people across Ontario.

                                          I won’t go into a longer rant here you can always look at my profile to see more on these topics.

                                          We as Canadians need to stop “saying” we take care of our disabled and actually take care of them. Being in this nightmare limbo is horrible. Decide to take care of them or ship us off to the camps. At least we would not be in limbo anymore.

                                          Here’s the thing: our system isn’t perfect, and you’re seeing a facet where it’s in need of serious repair.

                                          The thing that blocks us is funding. Mr Ford, for all his televised strongman grandstanding, is not supporting a proper, complete, consolidated care under the control of the voter; his party typically goes for a privatized care system beholden to shareholders.

                                          The American exceptions, where someone was able to scrape together or beg for the first period or phase of Medicare care in America, is not the rule but the exception. And we don’t see but the exception.

                                          We need to bring healthcare back in - leaving it to the provinces still, for herd safety - and have the level of care stay a perennial ballot issue. Get the mercenaries out, reap the rewards of consolidation and continued assessment and upkeep. We have a LOT to fix but we don’t fix a house with dynamite (see: America).

                                          If we truly want American-style mercenary healthcare as Mr Ford’s party and Ms Smith’s party trend towards, make us vote our entire way down that scummy slope to hell.
