      And God forbid you’re under 65 and disabled. Big load of “fuck you” from the government.

      This is actually a big reason why there are so many opponents of the MAID law.

      Too many people with disabilities are taking the euthanasia option simply because, they don’t have any way to live.

      My friend is on disability and bring home the equivalent of $20 dollars an hour in a province with a minimum of $15. From my understanding he is on one of the lowest tiers of the benefit. There are a huge variety of levels of disability benefits depending on the type of disability.

      My aunt is on disability from the military and brings home over 6000 a month. We definitely need to cut the military budget.

      LPC is at least forcing grocery stores to have fair pricing.

        There’s a difference between disability paid as income assistance from government services, and disability from private insurance.

        Even at the maximum disability allowance, you get about $15.50 a DAY.
