Yo Canadians!

yo Canadians!

Do you think the price of shit is too damn expensive? Do you think that disabled people should get better help with the cost of living?

Behold: This petition

This petition is calling for a CERB-type payment for disabled people ("DERB") to help them bridge the gap while the govt works on creating a better disability assistance system - currently planned for 2025 (but it has been delayed before, so we shall see...)

Disability income ranges greatly from province to province, but it's always WELL below the poverty line. The way things are, disability payments are so pathetic that none are sufficient enough to cover even the cost of rent. This year, barely any are sufficient enough to cover even HALF the rent... so, roommates? Not a solution anymore.

Where I live, the assistance my partner got was $850 a month in 2017. This year, had they still been on it, they would have gotten $950.

The average rent here in 2017 - $900/mo

The average rent here in 2023 - $1800/mo

It's rough out there.

Anyway, thanks for reading this, here's a pic of my cat Bean :) Hreef.

Non-Canadians feel free to reblog for traction.

god im getting so sick of seeing people call tone tags ableist or saying that if you call them accessibility aids that you're ableist

thats such fucking bullshit, have you ever heard of this thing called NOT EVERYTHING IS FOR YOU

thats like a wheelchair user saying canes are ableist because they cant use it

"oh its easier and clearer to just type everything out" SOME PEOPLE HAVE PAIN WITH TYPING, SOME PEOPLE HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH HAND MOVEMENTS, SOME PEOPLE CANT TYPE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME

its exactly the same thing as someone watching an ad for something like, a device that opens jar lids and complaining about how lazy someone would need to be to use it

if something doesn't help you don't use it, but do not bash it just because you don't think it's useful

reblog and put in the tags a piece of media that you haven’t actually seen/played/read/etc, but still kind of like seeing on your dash for whatever reason.
