From tariff relief to plans to remove two new bike lanes and build a new police training college. Here are some of the things to know about Ontario’s 2025 budget.
I wish they would hire competent people at the MTO on this budget or improve their system, or something. I work in health care, and twice in the last year alone they have suspended the license of the wrong patient, despite the correct name and demographics being on the form, and when the person whose license was suspended incorrectly tried to sort it out with them they were completely unhelpful and rude, even though it was their error both times. They told some patient who had never set foot in my city let alone my hospital who they suspended the license of incorrectly because of a similar name to call us and have our doctor unsuspend it, and even when they went to Service Ontario and handed them their ID refused to help them, and even when I called them and explained they told them they’d have to have the doctor, who hadn’t suspended this person’s license, do the forms despite never laying eyes upon them, and they had to go to their MPP for help. They lose the license reinstatement forms no matter how they are submitted or how many times, even when we have written replies from them in email that they did receive it, and I’ve had patients lose their jobs because of it and have to go to food banks. Honestly I would actually support privatization when I normally would never do so with them, it’s SO bad.
