A place to discuss all the news and events taking place in the province of Ontario, Canada.
Rules
I notice that the exploitation of people with gambling issues is intensifying with no more support for people with disability or gambling issues.
I notice that once again ODSP is allowed to languish at 13k a year, which in real buying power is the lowest it has ever been. How many times were we promised an increase during the election? Fortunately for Ford, people in Ontario do not give one single dry fuck about the disabled.
That's what Conservatives voted for. That and beer being exempt from air emissions. Never vote for conservatives if you want a positive future for the people of this province.
Progressive voters also voted for this by staying home when their parties were trying to make a plank out of modest improvements to ODSP.
This is NOT a PCO problem. That is a cop out. Yes, Ford gets a tiny little hard on somewhere deep in the crevasse of his groin from punishing the poor, but the LPO is no better. Year after year ODSP has not kept up with cost of living or inflation for entire decades.
A scapegoat is not a solution. This is on Ontario problem. This is what Ontario wants. Ontario loves to punish poor people, too. Perhaps you don't recall how willingly everyone took up the hatred against people on welfare (WHO ONLY GET 6.5K A YEAR!!) when they were invited to do so by the Harris campaign. This is us. Wear it.
Looks like nothing that affects me, but also looks like a lot of good stuff too all around.
