Will the NDP support the federal budget? @DonDavies says “it’s something we’re still evaluating” but also says “it’s important for us to complete the agreement that we made” with Liberals. #cdnpoli More: CTVNews.ca/qp
New disability benefit has been announced, but critics are skeptical #cdnpoli @JohnRedins @Disability_WP ctvnews.ca/video/c2908056…
CTV National News was suppose to televise an interview with one of our members talking about the disability benefit. Instead, Taylor Swift was more important
In 2021 the libs promised a CDB that would reduce poverty like the GIS and CCB. The GIS has a max of $1000/month/person. Yesterday, the feds proposed a CDB with a max of $200/month, delayed until mid 2025, full of barriers. This isn't what the disability community called for.

Spoke to @PnPCBC this afternoon about the need for the federal government to return to a significant role in providing income assistance to people with disabilities.
Will the NDP support the federal budget? @DonDavies says “it’s something we’re still evaluating” but also says “it’s important for us to complete the agreement that we made” with Liberals. #cdnpoli More: CTVNews.ca/qp
Thanks @morricemike for your hard work to support people with disabilities. I support your efforts for a higher CDB. And I’m pushing the Ford govt to more than double ODSP rates to end legislative poverty and to commit to no claw backs based on the CDB.
In 2021 the libs promised a CDB that would reduce poverty like the GIS and CCB. The GIS has a max of $1000/month/person. Yesterday, the feds proposed a CDB with a max of $200/month, delayed until mid 2025, full of barriers. This isn't what the disability community called for.

Rejecting someone like Sally Thomas from sitting on the Transit Advisory Board doesnt bode well for how critical/effective the board may be. Sally's been a long-time activist for better bus and Para Transpo service. Her voice is an important one tht wouldve benefitted residents.
Turned down for the Ottawa Transit Advisory Board, along with several other staunch advocates for #transitEquity. Here's hoping those chosen will continue to hold @ottawacity, @_MarkSutcliffe and @AmilcarRenee accountable for the current state of #transit. @OttTransitRider
It's counterintuitive to think those receiving below poverty level benefits – and dealing w/housing & food insecurity – can successfully reintegrate into the labour force. Current social-assistance rates serve not as a springboard but as a black hole. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
