The thing is EVERYONE needs to be caring about this because at any point YOU could become disabled. You could be in a car accident or become ill and be disabled for life, meaning one day you could be one of us and wish you had stood up for us. We are just like uou. People with lives who shouldnt have to decide between eating or having meds.

I don't think I realized how abjectly cruel Canadian culture truly was until the pandemic. As a long-time Liberal Party supporter, I am disgusted by their lack of support and the pitiful #CanadianDisabilityBenefit. I am also [consistently] disgusted with the government of #Ontario. We all own this shame, we are abandoning our disabled friends, family, neighbours to starvation, despair, hopelessness.

[@crystalheartstar]

I feel the same. I don't recognize my country any more. Its like they don't give a damn. They had no problem rolling out the CERB in 4 months to just about the whole country in 2020. $2000 a month to all the working Canadians in the entire country!!! Now they don't want to help the 1.6 million disabled even though Bill C-22 received Royal Assent last year.

[@Dannimaux]

YES! Thank you for saying the real facts. Most people reported on this saying $200 for all Disabled Canadians but it's not true it's only those who qualify for the disability tax benefit which is not most disabled Canadians and they only allocated enough for 600,000 people in general. Meaning even if all disabled Canadians did qualify for the tax credit only 600,000 of the over 1.2million would even get it!! This government has us disabled people begging for pennies and no one is fighting for us. Thank you for telling people what is happening to us.

I think you’re just starting to realize how little people with disabilities are valued in our society. At best we are an afterthought or a fun thing to rally around for a month and create pins and ribbons for, but at worst we’re expensive nuisances that remind people how vulnerable and fallible the body is. People with disabilities are rarely ever seen as people, which is why it’s easy to underfund their needs and keep in poverty.

[@countrymama1957]

With the price of everything going up $200.00 more a month is not going to help people with disabilities at all. They are living in poverty now.

I am on disability it q horrible situation to ve in and no it's not my fault I was hit by a car that left me with forever Injures I have 2 college degree which I can not do that career anymore due to my I juries I sustained. I know there a stigma that we are lazy and just go on disability trust me it's no life to live. You can not have any fun can not buy propper food because you are struggle just to pay rent morage and utilities and gas. People ask why not go get a job there lots of jobs out there. Well I'll tell you some of us are unable to work due to our Injuries. I can not even afford physio or massage thst would help me. And no being on disability does not cover those

[@crystalheartstar]

Disabilities are never anyone's fault. Some are born with conditions, some are injured at work, some have PTSD from military service overseas, there are so many reasons a person is disabled.

I was so incredibly heartbroken when the budget was announced. I’m currently on disability in Ontario and living off 1k a month. I can barely afford groceries I can’t work and I need to spend more on things to make it easier for me to live on my own. I also won’t qualify for the federal benefit as only 600k people will be able to get it. This doesn’t help any of us. It’s more convenient for us to just die

As a person who had to go through the disability process many times before I could be approved, I can promise you, NO ONE on disability is pretending.
