Doug Ford is making vulnerable people homeless.

The number of people on ODSP & Ontario Works increased 72% betw 2019 and 2026 (per Maytree).

85,000 Ontarians are now homeless, a surge of almost 50% since 2021.

A CRUEL govt.

OBCM advocating for genocide. They are going to try and brute force change and either force them back into the underclass so they can offer their labor to the machine, or have them end up dying or back on the street in the process. How are you going to tackle recidivism?

Everyone in Ontario, please read this. Please look into the Ontario Big City Mayors (OBCM) and what they want to do. They keep pushing for "involuntary care" despite calls from a civil liberties group to NOT do that.

They want to rewrite the Mental Health Act and the Healthcare Consent Act.
