But he did. He made it that one needed to either wholly dependent, or self-financing. And he gutted the adminstrative system that processed entitlements. In effect he privatized access to care and support--either yield your agency or fend for yourself. Gordo Campbell's done a similar thing in BC. Whats Charest done au Québec?

I'm actually more familiar with Gordo than Jean. (I worked in social services in the Lower Mainland before quitting, moving to Montreal, and returning to school last summer. So I haven't gotten involved in the system out here.)

Mike's "common sense" revolution might have caused this but Dalton and the Grits have clearly done *nothing* to change it. I'm assuming that services for kids with Autism and other such conditions would fall under the Health Minister's portfolio no?
I may have to give Honourary Georgie a lil' call. That jerk thinks SRS coverage under OHIP is the only cause I give a damn about. He's about to get another earful from me. This is simply ridiculous and apalling. I would recommend anyone in Ontario drops Smitherman a lil' note about how they feel about this either in person (I know his office location outside Queen's Park) or by e-mail. I have the contact for that as well. :)
