Even so, MacLeod won the riding by more than 2,000 votes over her Liberal rival. That win came despite a virtually silent campaign in which even Premier Doug Ford was critical of her for taking a $44,000 housing allowance from her riding association. MacLeod took a leave of absence after the election and acknowledged on social media in October that she had been dealing with mental health issues. She gave a more detailed explanation of her struggles to Paikin, saying she felt it important to speak frankly about the topic and of her worries.
If she can't take the heat, she shouldn't be in politics. MacLeod is widely reviled for a reason. I might have more sympathy if she hadn't personally gutted Ontario's autism program, thus directly harming tens of thousands of families.
Now do it all while on ODSP whilst you take away services/funds from those ON ODSP/OW and other low income people. For years. With no prior income/savings. Sorry to be harsh here, but we're missing some reality. Is this more BellLetsTalk crap?
Mental health is a bitch. We have to learn to take care of ourselves. Me, myself and I have to come first.
