THIS is why we fight, why it's so important that #PWDs in Canada get the help so desperately needed! @CQualtro @JustinTrudeau @PierrePoilievre @jkenney @fordnation @MatthewGreenNDP @DahliaKurtz @CityCynthia @StopgapOttawa

Last one for this thread... If you haven't figured it out yet, you likely never Wil so let me explain... Image
#PWDs have been begging for help since before the pandemic. Social isolation, starvation, legislated poverty and lack of tangible supports are slowly eating away at our resolve. Is this what the #government wants? For its most vulnerable to give up?
What will it take to open the eyes of those in power? Is it death? Because that's been happening too. Our rights have been violated long enough. We're not begging anymore, we DEMAND our government do better before we have to say goodbye to more amazing people!

For each #Province and #Territory in #Canada, here is the help that was offered to those living with #disabilities. This will include the #Federal help offered as well as any hoops #PWDs may have needed to jump through to get it and whether CERB was clawed back or not.
This is based on my own research, and if anyone sees anything I missed or may have gotten wrong please let me know.
Let's start with #Yukon
According to several articles, eligible families on #disability supports we're to get up to $400 to help with costs until August. Unknown what eligibility was.
#CERB was exempt from clawbacks.
