Translated lede: "Doug Ford justified the mandatory return of public servants to the office by saying that in-person work increased productivity. But the department responsible for the measure disagrees, reveals a document obtained by Le Droit under the Access to Information Act." #OnPoli

Ford defends OSAP cuts despite student outcry | CBC News

Ontario Premier Doug Ford stood by his decision to cut funding to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), when asked Wednesday about pushback from students.

CBC
β€œMaybe there needs to be a focus as well, & some degree of priority & additional work on those unattached patients who have multiple chronic conditions, because they’re the ones who are at the most risk individually, but they also have the highest burden on our hospital system." #OnPoli #OnHealth

Wondering how things are going with backlash for Doug Ford, now a couple of days since he informed the province that education loans for post-secondary students will be cut by 60% and two sentences later said that students should get into careers that pay, like healthcare, even as he continues to cut funding to our healthcare sector.

I will NEVER understand how this nonsense-yammering jackass still has a job, let alone is the premier of the province through multiple elections.

#ONpoli

Yeah, cut OSAP because Ontario residents are flush with cash - not.

Ford is playing it like 'Rump's budget that uses increased health insurance costs for the majority to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy ... πŸ˜”

CBC has a First Nations 'basket weaver' on radio this morning to talk about his career -- lol.

He's from a family of basket makers, some of them fetching up to $3k.

I disagree with Doug Ford, basket weaving is an essential course, we'll need them for all the beheadings

#CDNpoli #ONpoli

All of the sudden, I really want to learn how to weave baskets.
