A St. Catharines man with a disability has passed the first hurdle for medical assistance in dying, he doesn’t want to die but is afraid he is about to become homeless. CityNews delves into the ethics of choice versus an inadequate social safety net.

Usually it's only the elderly who are requesting it. The younger people aren't doing that. OHIP is covered for medication and there are food banks. Not sure how come people here are creating drama. If he didn't want to live he would not bring it to the news nor want attention. Am I correct?

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! how could we as a nation as human beings in 2022 accept that poverty leading to homelessness be accepted as a reason to just go ahead and euthanize people under the guise of disability. This poor man deserves to live, pay his meds, and pay his rent with more than $ 7.00 a day for food. I am disgusted by our gouvernements for allowing this and in humans in general for becoming so insanely greedy and uncaring of others. One lady in Ontario who got long covid and could no longer work went through all her savings until she only had one month left before her money ran out. She to asked for assisted suicide. How many more have committed suicide or asked for assisted suicide or are thinking about it before something is done. My heart is broken.

@mg79277 that is what every disabled person on ODSP is left with for food , or even less . The max amount for 1 person on ODSP for rent is $497 , that is somehow supposed to cover rent , heat , hydro etc so anything above that amount is paid out of the measly amount that is supposed to buy food , toiletries , cleaning supplies etc .

Thing is, things can change in the blink of an eye. Those who are "well off" and "wealthy" can be brought down mentally, financially, spiritually at any time. So those things don't give life value. I know because I was wealthy and now I am not. The truth of life is to love God. Simple as that. That's value.

Disability insurance here, is also below poverty. I want to work, I cant. I am also facing homelessness, a population I once used to donate to and which I see daily in my neighborhood.

ODSP is failing, and the Ontario Government must do something NOW to increase the ODSP rates. It's not enough to live on, after rent and bills. People shouldn't have to choose death because of poverty. I will never vote for a politician who is not focused on increasing ODSP rates. If politicians want my vote, they better promise to help who are on disability, and actually do it! Too many politicians campaign empty-promises!

@@cindycreateforlife if Canadian taxes are so high why can they not find accommodation for this man. Is feels like disability rights are going backwards where what matters is the economics not the person. The Nazi’s had a similar program in Action T4 but they took away the family & persons right to choose if they wanted to live. It ended with them killing autistic children & lying to their parents about it & then sending disabled proof who they viewed as threats to regime to concentration camps with black triangles. “A Nation’s Greatness Is Measured By How It Treats Its Weakest Members” Mohandas Gandhi said this in 1931, it feels like we are not learning the lessons of history.

People just want to turn and complain about MAID instead of facing the real issue that WE AS A SOCIETY have created where there’s too much classism that exists, the huge gaps in the level of pay between the minimum wage earners and the wealthiest people earn, the types of homes that are being built, society has created this, it’s not about a piece of legislation, it’s about us as a society making life so based on income levels and who’s rich and who’s not and who can afford expensive houses and who can’t. There’s people whining about treating people on the street with dignity all the while they live in their rich neighbourhood and challenge organizations who want to build affordable housing in their neighbourhood. Such as with Vancouver, people are acting like they care about the people in tents on Hastings in the DTES and advocate to allow them stay in their tents, but then those same advocates live in neighbourhoods like Kitsilano where people there just filed a petition with the city to stop the construction of a subsidized supportive housing apartment building in the neighbourhood. That’s the way it is with so called “advocates”, it’s “let them stay in the tents and burden disadvantaged residents in a poor neighbourhood, as long as we don’t have to have it or them in our neighbourhood.” If someone who is homeless or afraid of homelessness consider suicide, that’s not on the government, that’s on society and what we’ve all created.

Why doesn't he share a 1 bedroom apartment with 3-4 ppl like all my Indian co-workers? It's the new norm to live dorm style thanks to the insane amount of Immigration coming into Ontario! They all make minimum wage with no benefits and survive just fine.

It's not easy, for people who are on ODSP to survive. People who are on OSDP don't have many options to choose where they want to live. Living in shared accommodations in a house is how people who are on ODSP would live their lives, or maybe in government housing. There might be people who are on ODSP who will say there is no hope. Choosing to not do anything when something can be done will only lead to despair. It's not like people who are on ODSP don't receive anything, so these people are receiving money. I think the problem is managing money. I personally seen how some people who are on ODSP manage their money, and it's not good how these people manage the money they receive per month. The people who are on ODSP choose how they want to spend their money. I believe the problem stems with an inability to do budgeting. Having extra financial help would be in the best interest, for ODSP clients, but, people who don't know how to budget their money might experience problems.

Average rent is $2000.00 per month. ODSP pays 1,600.00 per month. how do you make that work? Shared accommodation which a lot of landlords are not permitting. The place he lives now is being sold. Find him a place to live that is decent for a human being, who qualifies to end his life, to live in dignity, and he will choose to live.

@@SweetOne. Maybe for 1 person who is renting either an apartment, or entire house it could be around $2000.00 per month. I think it depends on where someone wants to rent a home, and what someone wants to live in. He is going to have to find a roommate, or roommates, and he is going to have to find his own place to live. If he cannot find, and have roommate(s) then he might become homeless. ODSP does not pay $1,600. ODSP should pay a little over $1,200.00.

@@knowledgeandmultiskilled the maximum amount a single person on ODSP gets to cover rent , utilities , heat , hydro , water , sewage , renters insurance ( mandatory if living in housing) is $522 a month . You cant even find a room to rent for under $700 . That means anything above $522 they have to take out of their food /basic needs allowance and the maximum amount for that is $706 a month to cover food , cleaning supplies , toiletries , clothing , shoes , boots , coat , transportation etc the "grand " total is a maximum of $1228 per month . Explain how to "budget " and "manage" that amount "properly" ? smdh

At 2:05 City"News" makes a point of including "WalMart pasta" but neglects that EVERYTHING else is a name brand. Since he shops at WalMart if he switched from Heinz beans to the Great Value brand he'd save 60cents per can. What other bills and expenses does he have? With 2 roommates utilities shouldn't be much. Why do I think he probably has a better TV package then most and wastes a lot of money.

@@TheRealNewWhirledOrder maybe you want to pay for his meds for him.. ODSP doesn't cover everything. I have 6 prescriptions, one of them is $250.00 per month - he had how many bottles on that table? Some meds make you gain weight. His disability prevents exercise to stay slim. Average rent is $2000.00 per month. ODSP pays 1,600.00 per month. inflation and rents have gone up but ODSP and Seniors Pensions have not increased with inflation. All of the rents I have seen in Affordable new buildings are more than I can afford. I hope you have a private retirement plan.. or you will be eating a lot of beans too

He's quite heavy. That's expensive to maintain. People do what he's applied to do, without the assistance, every day. HOW he's doing it doesn't endear me to him anymore than anyhow else would. I do not feel sorry for him. I doubt he'll go through with it anyway. He doesn't seem sincere. He's applied for the attention. If he hasn't, why are we hearing about it?
