So @NickKouvalis,
What would it take to get you to advise Doug Ford on the logical senses & benefits of keeping #TheOtherFordPromise and raising people on ODSP out of the 45% below poverty line hole that their in ?
A statue in your honor ?
Entry in to the PWD hero hall of fame ?

Fact - people on odsp make up a solid 330,000 votes,
upwards of 450k depending on breakdown of the 550,000 total people dependent on it. (800K or more if you factor in OW) and virtually every one of them is using his face on a dart board.

Fact - You expected as much 3 years ago when he ran.
his team has never shown love for the disabled community..
his team has also never made the level of mistakes and suffered such a large casualty rate before either.

Fact- you won't win the entire pwd community over if he keeps his word. but, you would turn at least some from "never ever ever" into "..maybe"

But what else does he get besides some maybe votes ?
He gets to say we're THE 1ST province, financially in compliance with the CRPD, ahead of all others..

But what does HE get ?
he gets less homeless on the street every month.
in fact, you'd get a lot of homeless FINDING new homes.

how does it benefit you, personally ?
lol, honestly.. couldn't tell you.
