Today's Mood: Thoughtful

Temperature: 28.06°C

@Miss_Allison_D Remember back when Covid hit and everything shut down. The federal government to help sent people cheques. They said people needed $2000 minimum to survive. Everyone got that yet disabled nothing. So ODSP is nearly $1400/mo. Yet even they admitted $2000 was a poverty rate

If Canada had enough to give 16 year olds who worked in movie theatres $2000/month in 2020, they have enough to give vulnerable disabled adults in legislated destitution $2000/month in 2025.

$200 maximum after jumping through hoops is a punishment more than a "benefit"
