2025 Ontario Election’s Disability Issues with David Lepofsky - Tuesday February 25th, 2025

In anticipation of the upcoming Ontario Provincial Election, twelve agencies from across Ontario organized a political debate on February 19th, 2025. The debate allowed representatives from each major political part to address major issues that affect the disability community.

David Lepofsky, chair of the AODA Alliance and one of the organizers of the debate joined host Grant Hardy and his special guest co-host Jacob Shymanski on The Pulse after the debate. David provided an update on what the party’s platforms are on major disability issues like ODSP, housing, and social services budget cuts.

Plus, at the end of the episode David, Grant, and Jacob discuss accessible voting.
