Harden: Farewell to Queen’s Park
By Joel Harden, MPP for Ottawa Centre For six and half years, it’s been an honour to serve the people of Ottawa Centre in this House. It’s been the privilege of my life to work for them, to advocate with them, and to occupy their seat in this Chamber. As Members of this House may know, I have decided not to run again in the next provincial election. So this morning is farewell. Not goodbye, because I’m sure we will meet again.

The Public Transit Solution That Never Was
The Alden StaRRcar was a noble but failed attempt to combine the virtues of public and private transport. We’ve all been there. We get off at the train station nearest to where we’re going and realize the final destination is a little farther than we’d expected. Google Maps says it’ll take two buses. But by the time the bus arrives, you think to yourself, I could be almost halfway there on foot. It’s […] Remove Icon ESC Small We’ve all been there.

The Left in Purgatory
Here is a place where time stretches on. Where food has no flavor. Where we grow neither old nor young. It’s not bad, exactly. But it’s not where we had hoped to be. Don’t worry, American socialist, you’re not in the Inferno — hey, it’s not like we’ve ever had the power to err and commit mass crimes — you’re in Purgatory! When we use the word “purgatory” today, we tend to think of stasis, interregnum, even unresolved contradiction. It’s a place between places, a somewhat empty impermanence.

Disabled Ontarians are being denied access to assisted devices during the pandemic
By Joel HardenContributors Sarah Jama Tue., May 12, 2020timer2 min. read Want to spike your heart rate? Lose your cellphone. All of a sudden, life seems impossible.

Serious times call for serious measures. Fair enough.

Harden: Doug Ford government must rethink Ontario's new autism policies
"Parents United for Quality Autism Services" holds a rally at Sudbury MPP Jamie West's office in Sudbury March 7. John Lappa / John Lappa/Sudbury Star Share Adjust Comment Print The Doug Ford government’s proposed new Ontario Autism Program (OAP) is an abject failure. It fails because the new OAP’s funding is inadequate, and its rollout is nonsensical. It fails because instead of providing autism services based on a person’s actual needs, it offers a cookie-cutter format designed at Queen’s Park.
