Here is a better version of Ford being questioned about ODSP in relation to the pandemic/economic crisis for the second time in this entire crisis.
Let& #39;s unpack his answer, shall we?:

First off "I have talked to many people on ODSP"
I truly believe this is false. If it were true, Ford would have known how much we are desperately struggling and been more inclined to help us. He would know we& #39;re down to 1 meal a day, if that. He would know our fear and anxiety.

"We also have a program that if people were working 10 hours or 15 hours a week they aren& #39;t going to be punished"
Firstly, That "program" is the CERB & it only goes to those who worked. Out of the total 1M S/A recipients (ODSP/OW/CPP) in Ont, only 75k work. That& #39;s less than 10%

Now let& #39;s look at how that what Ford got incorrect in that statement. It& #39;s 10-15 hours per month** NOT per week! That& #39;s the only way to stay under the $200 income limit before ODSP clawbacks
The only thing he got right there was that he is taking 50% of ppls earnings from CERB.

& finally "We& #39;re going to help them (ODSP recipients) in anyway we can"

I will hold you to that Doug. Over 500,000 ODSP recipients will too.
We won& #39;t forget this. We won& #39;t back down. We need help NOW.
