So, @ABDanielleSmith made a teary eyed speech about how Alberta's people felt unwanted, unloved, undesired by the rest of the country. Why don't you try being a Person With Disabilities (#PWD) left by in LEGISLATED #poverty to struggle, become homeless & DIE by thier Gov't reps?

So WHY did the @liberal_party Gov't allow, the Canada Disability Benefit (#CDB) regulations go through at a max. $200 a month that clearly shows the GiC IGNORED THE LAWFUL LEGISLATIVE GUIDELINES in which the regulations were to be written? Above the law? Or, will they #FixTheCDB?

NEW: Over the past 4 years, Ontario's homeless population has grown by 23% to nearly 82,000. That's according to the Financial Accountability Officer, using Ontario's own figures counting the "known population experiencing homelessness." The number of people without a home is projected to grow by another 15.8 per cent to nearly 89,000 over the next 3 years. #onpoli

Premier @fordnation, There are 9 days remaining until the July 2026 #ODSP payment. Canada’s Official Poverty Line is the Market Basket Measure (#MBM). Amount required for Persons With Disabilities (#PWD) is estimated at MINIMUM bar of #MBMplus30%.

Our government will always be there to support people on hard times—but that doesn’t include people living in Canada illegally. If provincial regulations need to be changed to make that crystal clear, we’ll change them.

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) is back in the news and in the court system today. Here is a refresher on why Inclusion Canada and a coalition of disability organizations and citizens have deep concerns. Most people in Canada believe MAiD is only available for people at the end of life. But the federal government added a second tier—for people with disabilities and only them—who are not dying. Instead of making it easier for people to die – our governments should be addressing the root causes of their “suffering”: high poverty, inadequate housing, lack of disability supports and social isolation. Learn more about MAiD’s harmful impacts on people with disabilities.
Track 1: End-of-life MAiD People who qualify: - Serious illness - Natural death is soon (imminent) - Experiencing intolerable suffering - Originally the focus of MAiD legislation Track 2: People Who Are Not Dying People who qualify: - Living with a disability or chronic condition (soon mental health) - Experiencing intolerable suffering - Are not dying

Are you a healthy worker and think things are expensive now? #ODSP/#ODSPoverty rates are to increase at the end of the month, UP TO a MAXIMUM $1,436. That's $825 for Basic Needs & up to $611 for Shelter (not just rent). Don't be silent. You could be the next #PWD! #DisablePoverty
July 2026 ODSP BASIC NEEDS $825, SHELTER (not just rent) up to a MAX $611. The average rent in Ontario was last recorded below $612 in October 1991. when it stood at $609 per month. By October 1992, the average rent had risen to $630 and has continued to climb steadily in the decades since. Source: CHMC

When vulnerable Persons With Disabilities (#PWD) in LEGISLATED #Poverty are at risk of losing everything incl. thier homes, they're told to pay for someone to fill out paperwork so they can apply for a tax credit and maybe get up to $200 a month, that or get offered euthanasia...

The wildfire situation has escalated significantly over the last three weeks across the country, and particularly in Northwestern Ontario.  Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their communities, not knowing if their homes will survive.     On behalf of Canadians, I want to thank the brave firefighters, first responders, Indigenous and local leaders who are working tirelessly to keep people safe.   Our government is in close contact with provincial, municipal, and Indigenous partners and stands ready to provide any additional support as needed.
