Three months after a violent derecho caused massive amounts of destruction across Ontario, some of the hardest hit residents claim they aren’t receiving enough support from the Ford government. Former city councillor Stephen Blais, the current Liberal MPP for Orleans, wants the province to allow property owners in Eastern Ontario to apply for disaster relief under the existing recovery program. He joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now, along with local farmer Wyatt McWilliams. His family is still trying to regroup from the long weekend storm after the main farmhouse suffered damages.
