Ford Nation excludes people with autism

The Toronto Star has an article about Doug Ford's opposition to a home for people with autism.

According to the article: “My heart goes out to kids with autism. But no one told me they’d be leaving the house,” Ford was quoted as saying. “If it comes down to it, I’ll buy the house myself and resell it.”
