🚨Long thread🚨How the hell has former Premier Mike Harris been appointed the Order of Ontario? An award for a person who "demonstrates excellence in any field or outstanding contributions to society in Ontario and elsewhere." You betcha I'm pissed and deeply disappointed. 1/5
Do outstanding contributions to self interest count?
✅Privatizing LTC as Premier. Chair of the board @ Chartwell raking in record profits as homes are consistently understaffed, mass Covid outbreaks & thousands of deaths happen in private, for profit homes, incl Chartwell.
2/5
How about excellence in the field of privatization & cuts to public services?
✅Walkerton water crisis-privatized oversight-2,000+ ppl sick & 7 ppl died
✅Healthcare cuts=hospitals closed & hundreds of nurses fired
3/5
✅✂️social assistance by 21.6% & said ppl living in poverty could live on $90/mth for groceries. Eat dented cans of tuna & bologna sandwiches folks
✅Education cuts= approx $1 billion from the system & teachers fired.
✅Privatized highway 407
4/5
✅Ipperwash- Harris was quoted as saying "I want the f-ing Indians out of the park" Dudley George was killed & his family's lawyer argued Harris was partially responsible for his death after sharing his opinion with the OPP.
That's a quick list.
5/5
