It doesn't matter what she says as she is a trump level liar.

She's wrong, that's her own opinion anyway 🤔🙄

I am most likely going to be downvoted but I have to speak out.

I am a 4th generation Canadian and I love Canada. Been coast to coast a few times. I feel there is something very rotten happening in our country (specifically Ontario) when the standard of care for the less fortunate and disabled people’s level of help is below that of the US (pre rump).

I would read US articles on how this or that was being done for their autistic child from services provided by the state or prosthetics and think to myself why have I never seen any service like this for our autistic child? I look into it. Nope nothing.

We have been accepted for the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) and special Services At Home (SSAH). It has been three years and we have still not seen any funding. Our child has had no support, no funding for their entire life so far.

This means that they will have permanent developmental issues for life without therapy. Worst part is we are not alone or unique in this, this is happening to thousands of autistic people across Ontario.

I won’t go into a longer rant here you can always look at my profile to see more on these topics.

We as Canadians need to stop “saying” we take care of our disabled and actually take care of them. Being in this nightmare limbo is horrible. Decide to take care of them or ship us off to the camps. At least we would not be in limbo anymore.
