he has:

- cut a 3% approved increase for ODSP recipients to 1.5%, in 2018 and has refused to increase it since then, despite the alarming rate at which food and rent costs have gone up

- has hired 'experts' for hefty sums to try and cut more money from people with
- developmental disabilities

- has hired a firm (Fedcap) that was fined over $2mil by the US Dept. of Labor for defrauding people with disabilities. This same company forces people with disabilities, most of whom have severe physical disabilities, into labour-intensive jobs like
- janitorial work and pays minimum wage

- has answered, for practically every question asked in provincial parliament, with respect to helping PWD, "The best social program is a job"

- has said, in the middle of a pandemic, when asked a question from a reporter that if PWD
- need financial relief, they could "Get a job"

- quietly offered a maximum of $100 per single and $200 per couple/family for a couple of months, but only if a PWD found out about it via word of mouth, and then had to call and beg for the money from their case worker. This
- relief was 'discretionary' baselessly denied and in ODSP world, discretionary is equal to discriminatory. I understand that many who asked (if they could actually reach their case worker) for the top up got denied.
- Roughly about half of all ODSP recipients received it because the other half didn't know about it or were

- called the Ontario Provincial Police on a woman with autism, because she called him a few times a week, per his PUBLIC invitation for people to do just that if they
- had an issue

- severely cut funding for the autism file, driving parents of children with autism into despair. Some parents considered divorcing because it meant they would get more money to help their child
- got his minister (MacLeod) to pause the autism wait list to artificially inflate the number on that list

- got his minister (MacLeod) to threaten autism therapists into supporting their awful plan for the autism file, suggesting if they didn't endorse it
- they'd be facing '...four long years...'

- gets his Ministers and their secretaries to lie about the financial relief he has apparently provided to ODSP recipients during the pandemic. He has left the public to believe that help for PWD continues, despite ODSP case workers
- denying there's any more funding

- put out a job posting for 17 fraud investigators for an unfounded witch hunt, because PWD and reporters keep bothering him; they are starving and in serious financial trouble, having not received an increase in more than 2 years
- and the country's in the middle of a pandemic that has increased their costs exponentially, but he's hell bent on trying to find proof that PWD are fraudsters. This can only be seen as yet another discriminatory and vengeful move from someone who thinks PWD
- are faking their illnesses. He plans to pay these 17 individuals up to $1,600/WEEK, when PWD receive $1,169 a MONTH
The above actions he's taken to harass PWD are just the highlights. It is clear he has open hatred against people with disabilities, and does not have the first clue what it is like to live with a disability that is so severe, a person cannot work, or if they can, are very likely
severely limited in their ability to work full time, or to find a job that will provide them with a healthy standard of living.

So I am going to ask all of you again: will you condemn Doug Ford's continued harassment, cruelty and discrimination against people with disabilities
and will you condemn him publicly, in parliament?

People with disabilities are suffering quite enough, without having to endure the added burden Doug Ford is placing on them. What is it going to take for PWD to be treated like human beings in Ontario, or more broadly, in Canada?
All the allegations I have made towards Doug Ford and Todd Smith can easily be found by google or twitter search. I have posted all of this information over the past few months. The proof includes video and written (news articles) evidence. I can compile it into one package if
you would like me to do so.
Someone brought this information to my attention. If this privacy breach occurred anywhere else, government would have police investigating it, and there'd be public outrage. The lives of PWD are roundly exposed, in every way possible, and no one cares. https://twitter.com/sweeneykitkat/status/1325747093441540097
