Every person, group, or organization that endorses Doug Ford is sending a message:
1. They're ok with 50,000+ autistic children/youth being waitlisted (5+ yrs) for time-sensitive, critical services, therapies, support
2. They're ok with a child in care dying every 3 days
3. They're ok with special education being expunged across Ontario
4. They're ok with children with complex special needs, and their families, being left in the dust
5. They're ok with ODSP rates that hold people living with disability in poverty
I hear your message loud and clear.
I will be amplifying your message over the writ period so everyone knows exactly where you stand.
Doug had 7 years to "get it done". He didn't.

Did you know?
According to a ministry FOI we obtained: the number of autistic kids accessing core clinical services decreased between Jun-Aug 2025
Families are in crisis. Have a look at our report to see what they said: ontarioautismcoalition.com/w…

We’re bringing transparency & accountability BACK!
On Oct 23 we went to Queen’s Park to present the results of our 2025 OAC Community Survey-about the reality of services access in Ontario. THIS is "for the community by the community".
Full report here: ontarioautismcoalition.com/w…

#CatholicTeachers took action today at Queen's Park. As the legislature resumes, our message to the government is simple:
❌NO to #Bill33 and more top-down control
✅YES to real investment and smaller class sizes to best support #OntEd students

Cost wise: that’s akin to the whole provincial autism program budget for an entire YEAR

Doug Ford siphoned $750M into a slush fund for his Conservative friends, while Ontario schools remain understaffed and hospitals face critical nurse shortages. This is incompetence and corruption at its worst. #ONpoli #ResignFord #DougFordIsCorrupt @fordnation #onted @PaulCalandra
But Trump knows so (I’m being sarcastic) look at this clip. #ChumpTrump , just ridiculous!! Ugh, when he speaks, I cringe.

Doug Ford’s Conservatives want control of school boards so they can carve up and sell public land. After the Greenbelt giveaway and the Ontario Place sweetheart deal, why would anyone trust them with any provincial asset?
They’re not managing Ontario—they’re auctioning it off.
It was great to join my colleagues MPP Daisy Wai, MP Anna Roberts and MP Michael Guglielmin in #Vaughan this afternoon for the Karis Disability Services annual picnic!
Thank you to Janet, Joy and the entire Karis team for hosting us, and for working hard to support people living with diverse abilities across the province!

Doug Ford didn’t fix healthcare.
He broke it, handed the pieces to his friends, and sent you the bill.
🧾 ER wait: 14 hours
💸 Private clinics booming
🚑 Paramedics understaffed
🛏️ ICU beds closed
Ontario, this isn’t “innovation.” It’s neglect.

Carney uses his press conferences to talk intelligently about concrete plans to protect Canadians.
Poilievre uses his to complain.

Great crowd in Scarborough waiting for Prime Minister @MarkJCarney to speak!! @liberal_party
#Hypocrite disgusting tweet! You are a lying sack of 💩
You don’t celebrate the #Autism community
You HATE us and have failed us.
Over 60K true stories out there!
Yours? All lies !!
Today is #WorldAutismAwarenessDay, a day to highlight and celebrate the contributions of people on the autism spectrum in their communities everywhere.
Our government is committed to empowering individuals on the spectrum so they can succeed and thrive.

Your gov’t has more than tripled the waitlist for kids waiting for therapy. You replaced a #NeedsBased program with a discriminatory one, based on a child’s age.
No longer is based on a Clinician’s recommendation but a gruelling 4 hr meeting you force parent’s to do every yr.
