Lisa Macleod the minster of child services and social services laughed when told about how ontario citizens on ontario disability support program and ontario works felt heightened in their anxiety and depression and suicidal thoughts when waiting to hear what the progressive conservatives were going to do with these programs. Then called the second part of Lisa Gretzky’s question a joke.
It is great to know as a canadian living with mental illness, my illness is seen as funny and a question about my livelihood is a joke.
Oh cool. The party that controls my provincial government just announced that they reject gender identity as “fake”. Can’t wait to see which of my rights they strip away first!
Premier Doug Ford promised during the spring election campaign to
repeal the Green Energy Act, which was introduced by the previous
Liberal government in 2009 in a bid to grow the province’s solar and
wind energy supply.
Critics of the act have said it resulted in an increase in electricity
costs and saw the province overpay for power it did not need.
The government said that future renewable energy projects must first
demonstrate need for the electricity they generate before being granted
approval.
The province would not say, however, if the same rules would apply to natural gas or nuclear projects.
Canada’s “Universal Healthcare System” is one of the worst universal healthcare systems in the world, ranking only above France and the USA’s private system:
It does not cover prescriptions, dental, visioncare and access to mental healthcare is sparse. For some procedures there can also be lengthy waits.
People in Canada right now have to make decisions on whether they should eat or buy prescription medication.
It only looks good compared to the US because the US’s healthcare system is a trash fire.
There are however some politicians (i.e. The NDP) in Canada that are trying to make our healthcare system better by covering prescriptions, dental, increase funding, etc
It also does not help that Liberal and Conservative governments have been cutting funding for healthcare for decades.
I am grateful that I don’t have to pay out of pocket to visit a doctor or hospital, but our system could be a lot better than it is.
Somehow in 2018, men still feel entitled to tell women to smile, even while speaking on the record. Greg Rickford, the PC MPP for Kenora-Rainy River, interrupted a reporter who was interviewing him today by telling her to smile. The reporter, Marieke Walsh, says he walked away when she later asked him why he told her to smile.
