For quite a while there has been discussion on this benefit with the Federal Government. However, even after going through readings, committees, the current Liberal government has failed to move on this issue. Many of those on disability, provincial or federal, seniors on GIS & OAS (And CPP) are struggling to make ends meet. Sad to say, to some point many have now become homeless due to the lack of affordable housing. There is no easy way to say this, but the lack of movement from our federal government has put many people into peril. Some provinces have already started to implement a similar program with fantastic results. However, don’t expect any province controlled by a Conservative government to move on this. It’s not a program they believe in and one look at Ontario when the current Conservative government came into power will say it all since they terminated the program immediately after taking office. From what I’ve seen, the only party that even comes close to having one thought about you, is the NDP. Yes, we’ve all heard the standard blithering from Conservatives and Liberals, spewing the old “They’ll tax and spend us into oblivion!”. That’s actually pretty pathetic coming from two parties that have a track record over the last thirty years of creating record debt levels without anything to show for it. Let’s not forget (if you live in Ontario), the Liberal government that came into power claiming “We won’t raise your taxes, but we won’t lower them either.” Instead they created a new one, the Ontario Health Tax (Premium) that was supposed to fund health care, but less than 30% of it actually is since it goes directly into “General Revenue”. The Conservatives on the other hand cut social spending, reducing funding to hospitals and schools thereby handing over tax cuts to the corporations and elite that don’t need a tax cut to being with, all the while increasing the debt. Social programs in Canada have been under attack for almost thirty years, and they’re still receiving those attacks as the before and after pandemic showed. Do you want change that actually works for the people? Consider your options carefully and know the true facts. Don’t assume the Conservatives or Liberals will be your saving grace. This will give you an idea just what nonsense is out there today as elections loom around us… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyiEWJZ7FmQ&t=774s
