The United Nations inspected a country & were truly shocked at the level of poverty of its disabled citizens. The U.N. travels around the world and sees really nasty stuff. A country covered by both Human Rights and Convention on the Rights of Disabled Persons law
Where?
Canada
Why ? Because they said Canada is such a wealthy country . No excuse for the state of its disabled citizens. U.N. was also concerned that the government created Maid and enlarged it to cover this same population.
So vote
Make sure its a decision u can live with & b proud of

@lmhnewman @DrSylvainRoy For a very impressive resume u did not "get it not even in the same ball park.I dont know if u ever will but u can at least read the following links .Comparing your family member with a family on odsp does not relate. U have money to help them. At least
@lmhnewman @DrSylvainRoy Your child has heat, hydro, internet, SAFE housing, even ligjtbulbs. A kid in a odsp family may have none of the above or intermittently. Thats odsp!

@lmhnewman @DrSylvainRoy Canada signed this 12 years ago voluntarily. Its actually insulting to disabled how either unprepared or intentionally blind u were to the fact that disabled have RIGHTS based on law not a Amazon wishlst.

@nicki_ward I listened to your debate with David Lepofsky. U almost got it. But I qyd like to point out it is a RIGHT not a Amazon wishlisr that diaabked persons are fully integrated into Canadian Society. Because ( no one mentions this part) 12 miserable miserly years ago Canada signed the
@nicki_ward Convention on the Rights of Disabled Persons. And also voluntarily signed the Optional Protocol So its a RIGHT so not us begging govt but demanding . If cash is what is needed to get housing for the able bodied then its cash thats needed for disabled to obtain housing. Not
@nicki_ward Building more subsidized housing where disabled will b tossed in with drug dealers and persons convicted of robbery & violent acts. As for tiny homes a temporary solution which will become permanent and a slum.So no we don't need that. Just cash so we can compete

If u don't know who to vote for this is a real eye opener as to whether a person of any party understands the concept of inclusiveness in society. I was shocked that yet again that 2 parties thought a wheelchaitvramp was accessibility. Also surprised that they don't realize
CASH is how the abled get housing but they think somehow cash is not how disabled do it. Talk of building more housing and "tiny" homes more instead of providing enuf cash so disabled can live in units presently vacant . Only 1 mentioned disabled dying. But all 3 "think" they
They understand disability. Only 1 recognized our right to RUN for election. No mention that a lack of support services and their cost determines if u take a shower on a 6mth waitlist. Frankly they all need to read the CRPD As no one said we have CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS!
RIGHTS!

@AndreaHorwath Based on budgeting specialists we shud pay no more than 32% on housing. If u do the math u have about $4266 a mth to spend. Odsp at 32% is $323= homeless
U with a raise of 20% have $5,066mth
Odsp with 20% increase has $448.00 mth= homeless
SEE WHY 20% INCREASE IN ODSP IS NOTHING
@AndreaHorwath Province of Ontario seems 2 believe ppl need a min.Wage of $15.50 @40hrs =$2684 mth hmm
So that means odsp needs 2 b increased
from 1169 to 2684
A difference of 130% PLUS the United Nations says the extra cost of disability NEEDS to b considered
SO ODSP NEEDS 2 GO UP 》130%
@AndreaHorwath @40Hrs And that provides a housing allowance of $860 a mth which in many city's rents can start at $1200 a mth !
So in many city's $860 = homeless for some

SO TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND ASK YOURSELF IF U R GOING TO CONT THE ATROCITY OF HOMELESSNESS IN ONTARIOS DISABLED

Since 2013 minimum wage has increased $5.25 hr in Ontario.
Based on 40 hrs week odsp went up .48 CENTS!
A DIFFERENCE OF
$10,920 a year.
Thats why disability rates need to be more than doubled then add on the extra cost of disability &

And odsp went from $1086 mth or $13,032 yr to $14025yr or 1169mth
So min wage went up $10, 920 year.
