Doug Ford kicked off his self-congratulating campaign summer tour. With a 78% approval rating, many Ontarians seem to have forgotten the chaos & callous cuts that happened under Ford for 1.5 years before COVID-19. Cuts to health care, education, the environment, social services..
A billion dollars cut to social services while he tried to spend a billion dollars to rip up the Beer Store contract to get beer in corner stores, hundreds of millions of dollars spent on ripping up wind turbines and cancelling 750 green energy contracts, #onpoli
Millions of dollars cut to rape crisis centres, while Ford spent $30 million on Conservative propaganda gas pump stickers and ads and fighting the carbon tax in court, $335 million slashed annually to mental health funding, $200 million cut to public health, #onpoli
$600 million cut to #OSAP, a financial loan program aimed at helping low-income students, cut over $2M from the anti-racism directorate, cut funding from the Black Youth Action Plan, and refused to host the mandatory anti-racism conferences two years in a row.
I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Just because Premier Ford (mostly) listened to health care experts and read off a teleprompter during a PANDEMIC does not mean he gets the last two years wiped clean. #onpoli
