Premier’s priorities put cheap beer ahead of safety, education
The world is swiftly approaching an economic, societal and environmental precipice of risks. We have families challenged by autism, and teachers overwhelmed with funding cuts and ever-increasing class sizes who are untrained to care for the autistic kids they will now have to care for in class. As production from tar sands expands, and there is widespread flooding in Ontario and other provinces, communities big and small face increased liability risks and damages of climate change.
Rather than focusing on prevention, the Doug Ford government's Bill 66 and the latest policies regarding endangered species make it seem like an ostrich with its head in the sand. It ignores the value of life-saving policies by eroding safety standards, and funding needed to protect communities, our water supplies, our health care, our education and our children. Mr. Ford wants a cheap beer, stickers on gas pumps and new pens and stationery for Ontario. In my view, he can take his stickers, his beer and his pens, and get out of here.
