Demonstrations are taking place across Ontario to protest against Premier Doug Ford and several of the province's recent controversial measures, including changes to freedom of information (FOI) laws and OSAP grants.

Hundreds of people gathered at Queen's Park with signs and umbrellas despite the rainy weather, chanting "Doug Ford always lies, bring back FOI" and "no jets at Billy Bishop."

Protester Doug Oliver said he joined the rally Saturday because residents are unhappy with the premier's actions, which he called "anti-democratic."

“If he is amending the [FOI] act in order to prevent people from accessing things like his cellphone records, then that tells me he has something to hide,” said Oliver.

Also need to be vocal about people with Autism and so many others with different medical issues that are being ignored. OAP (Ontario Autism Program) people have been waiting literally years to get the training they need to exist in society. Do we want to help the disabled. If so then help. If not, then ship us off to the camps. How we are living right now is not living.
