It's Unconscionable and irresponsible that Ontario Government has not provided ANY information to #BasicIncome recipients on plans to wind down (the promised 3 year) pilot project. Participants don't know if they'll receive benefits in September. #OnPoli you.leadnow.ca/petitions/save…

Holds for parents too - hate to think of how many times I adjusted my son's environment to avoid discomfort (his and mine). So much more success comes from simply allowing him to experience the full range of life, even the bad bits, rather than dashing ahead smoothing his path.

New blog post at almostsoon.blogspot.com - a consolidation of many resources that have been lurking in my email!

check out my latest post at almostsoon.blogspot.com - a consolidated (and changing) list of COVID-19 resources relevant for those with developmental disabilities

Endlessly grateful for DramaWay's Expression Works program. A wonderfully positive and creative weekly tonic: my son's mood is always better and he seems less stressed the day after an online class. Keep up the excellent work: the highlight of the week!

For those receiving Passport funding, it appears that My Direct Plan now has an "Other" category that can be used for expenses related to COVID-19 as per the Ministry's recent announcement. mcss.gov.on.ca/en/mcss/progra….

Thinking of my late mom, a UK immigrant who loved hockey with a passion, wish she was here screaming at the TV alongside my daughter and me

Anybody keeping track of the number of cliches in this speech by Ford

if you love someone who is a senior or has a disability and you're thinking of not voting, or voting PC, in the Ontario election, please think again - not sure they'll survive another Thug Ford government

Seriously disappointed, Ontario. How anyone with a conscience could reward Thug Ford for the harm he has done and the indifference he demonstrates daily is truly incomprehensible.

Still furious at Ontario election results - so many ways to vote, took my family members more time to walk from car to poling station than to vote - will we ever recover from the incalculable harms of this corrupt and indifferent leadership?

Met a very enthusiastic pup on the walk home from the grocery store and discovered that my son now classifies dogs as "worker" dogs (not to be petted) and "petter" dogs

#CanadianBeerDay

My late parents always voted (in local, provincial and federal elections), while knowing full-well that their votes would cancel each other out (mom a liberal, dad a conservative) - please take the time to vote!
