If u r going to make the effort to do the welfare challenge please take the time to REALLY learn what its about. The media release showed there is much u r unaware of.
So peeps with disabilitys
#pwd
#odsp
Can u chime in here.
What wud u like them to learn?
My 1st request is they read the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Disabled Persons and all documents ( letters/inspections) between U.N. and Canada. That will change the way we are viewed we are not beggars we have
RIGHTS and entitlements as a Canadian person with a disability that we are being denied.

@ondpmedia @ChandraPasma @MTaylorNDP @LiseVaugeois @JessicaBellTO @JoelHardenONDP Remember u cannot reach for anything that was in your kitchen before u did your odsp shopping. Not even the salt shaker. Anything that happens unexpectedly during the 2 weeks comes out of the food budget. Your Nana gets sick and needs u that gas or bus ticket comes
#odsp
@ondpmedia @ChandraPasma @MTaylorNDP @LiseVaugeois @JessicaBellTO @JoelHardenONDP Out of your food. Unexpected hospital visit (u may if u r lucky be reimbursed by odsp next month) that $10 parking fee comes out of your food, tp, Kleenex, personal hygiene products, lightbulbs, batteries, over counter meds like tylenol,vitamins, condoms all out of food budget.
@ondpmedia @ChandraPasma @MTaylorNDP @LiseVaugeois @JessicaBellTO @JoelHardenONDP Your kid loses their backpack replace it, someone is ill and creates extra laundry the dog gets sick needs the vet, costs come out of your food. The list is endless. So if u want to read a book go borrow at the library, want to go swimming apply for a subsidy and wait,

Homelessness
Lack of pandemic plan
Maid expanded during a pandemic
Lack subsidized housing

Still surprises me 2 find blatant discrimination in violation of human rights laws. New " affordable" housing 1 bed apartments but u MUST Have a job or self employment
Must earn at least $15,000
Province funded 11.5 million to the building. PWD receiving benefits need not apply!
Ticks me right off!
How can they advertise offering units at rents as low as $375 then pwd dont even get to apply. Brand new building fully rented out.
On govt site theg complement them!!!
Infuriating!

#housingdiscrimination
#odspoverty
In the province where this is located its interesting that the maximum disability payment is about $15,000 a year so to qualify to apply a pwd wud have to earn enuf to lose their mthly disabilty check and related benefits. Reminds me of a house my parents looked at to buy many

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
