Proof to back up what advocates have been saying #OntarioWorks and #ODSP dangerously low, twice below the poverty line, 1/3 of market rent... its killing us while the premier vilifies us, mayors criminalize us and feds ignore the deaths of citizens frozen to the curb.

I dare anyone to make ends meet on #ODSP, #OntarioWorks, #AISH, #PWD etc AND have to advocate for your life, for your family, and navigate the hatred and vilification online...and in your own home, if you can afford or find one.
the seminar and journey filmed are uploaded:

No surprise that multi-millionaire premier #DougFord would think OW recipients are "lazy kids" just sitting at home "watching the Flintstones."
At least the worst humans are always this fucking stupid. If only we'd quit voting for them.

Cruel #DougFord despises Ontario's citizens who lack the means to meet the necessities of life. #PovertySucks

Amazing afternoon canvassing KippsLane. Lots of support for @ontariogreens.bsky.social and our progressive #ODSP & #OntarioWorks policies, including eliminating clawbacks & pushing for a #BasicIncome. One keen voter wanted my card on his door. 😊💚 #onpoli #ldnont #votegreen #DoubleODSP #DoubleOW
"#ODSP rates kill because they do not provide Ontarians with disabilities enough income to live. Relative to inflation, ODSP rates are 30 per cent #lower than they were 30 years ago.
Recipients of #OntarioWorks (OW)...have suffered even more...cut by 21.6 per cent."

"Roberts says #OntarioWorks and #ODSP disability payments do not provide people with enough income for a #basic #standard of living causing hundreds of thousands of people in the province to live in #poverty, causing #foodinsecurity and #health problems."

Premier Doug Ford is holding people on #ODSP hostage while stalling for the #CanadianDisabilityBenefit.
Only 5 cents from every tax dollar is needed to fund all of #OntarioWorks and the #OntarioDisabilitySupportProgram, and that is a small payment for a safety net.

Well...that's bullshit. Nobody goes to jail for a reason they can't disclose.
In the video he says 2x he went to jail for filming on the sidewalk (🙄) and "doesn't receive govt money" (then who provides his #OntarioWorks $?)
There's no gag order--he's got a history of threats
In a surprise to nobody....
If you're on #OntarioWorks (and calling non-white people "welfare bums"), do you have to declare gifts when you've grifted a train/plane ticket?
This is Donald's second trip in as many weeks.
