"It’s especially difficult to find housing because once someone is homeless, they lose their shelter allowance — $390 of the $733 monthly amount for Ontario Works (OW), and $582 of the $1,368 monthly total for the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP)" www.sudbury.com/beyond-local...
Advocates pointed to the high cost of housing and inflation as reasons for the increase
Imagine how $55 billion could help literally any other issue in Ontario from healthcare to increasing ODSP to housing. But nah. Let's help cars.
It'll cost AT LEAST $55 billion. It'll disrupt already horrifically bad traffic. It could take resources away from housing construction. "Building the tunnel could take up to 20 years to complete, says Dr. Saxe, who warns the process will be “disruptive” to traffic on Hwy. 401." #OnPoli
The Premier said the tunnelling would go smoother than Boston's infamous "big dig," beset by delays and massive cost overruns.

Thanks to whoever sent her the $100! She was able to get home and get a little food. She urgently needs Ensure for 8 weeks for her recovery but ODSP won't cover it (because ofc they won't) t.co/4Df50SvVmV
Hey all, wish me luck. My ODSP paperwork is mostly done, the only delay I have right now is the self report and that's because after using every tool possible to avoid me going to the Dark Place of the Mind to be okay with my damage, I have to actually visit there and come up with some grade A stuff
Premier Ford: “We have 1 million people that are on ODSP, We need to get these folks back working” What part of "disabled" is beyond Ford's capacity to grasp? Ontario is "governed" by a cave troll, exhibit 5847373746855
Small foot note to Ford trying to clean up his “get off your ass” comments: he said today “if you are unhealthy I will take care of you.” Reporting from social services Ontario said there is a directive now to deny all ODSP claims and make people fight them at the tribunal.
