Canada's economy is so poor it represents a "Human Rights Crisis" I'm scared I'm not going to make it,....



I have been in crisis pretty much since covid way back in 2020. Canada has been declining and the people at the bottom of the ladder are the ones feeling it the most. Here in Ontario that would be the people on OW (Ontario Works) and ODSP (Ontario Disability). We are given so little that a lot of us don't even get basic needs. We are really, really struggling,....

I have felt it for awhile now. And I have to honestly say that if I had not been hit by a car two years ago and received a small settlement ~ I would be homeless right now. I do not bring in enough to pay rent, bills and groceries. I have to dip into my 'settlement' fund to get groceries. Once my bills and rent are paid there is NOTHING left for food. how sad is this country when getting hit by a car saved me,.... BUT,... that money is no longer there. It has run out,.... now I am scared.

I just heard that my CPP is going up 2%. A nice little break for us getting a few dollars more a month. But then I discovered that I don't get that raise. Why? Because people on ODSP are NEVER allowed to make more than $1408.00 a month. My total income comes from ODSP and CPP. With this 'raise' ~ I lose out becasue ODSP will just 'absorb' it and I still only get $1408 a month. WHY???? Inflation and the exorbitant cost of groceries right now effects me too!! CPP saw that we needed a raise due to this struggle with every bill we have right now and gave us a 2% raise. They gave it to us as WE NEED IT!

So why can't I have it,...? And that is what is wrong with this country and province right now. 

I am not exagerating ~ if I hadn't had a few extra bucks in the bank from my settlement, I would have LOST THIS APARTMENT months ago due to not being able to pay the rent. But ODSP still believes we all have enough and refuse to give us our raise from CPP.
This just stinks!!!!

Our groceries here in Canada right now are so highly priced I am eating HALF of what I used to. It's all I can afford in my budget. My settlement money has run out now and I am now starting back on my tight $1408 a month. That means living off of cereal, hamburgers and chicken thigh on a bun. I am so sick of eating the same cheap shit every day I could scream. How I would love fruit and veg,... and meat! I haven't had a roast beef dinner ~ my favourite meal ever ~ in about 10 years!!!!! YEARS!!!!! But those days are now gone,.... we are back to rationing cheap shit food I can barely afford. 

No groceries,...
No doctor,...
No fucking life,... 

WHO the fuck can live on $1408 a month. 

If you dont' think this country is in CRISIS ~ especially for the poor ~ you need to see this video. 

SHOCKING!

Please watch this video as our country is literally falling apart.
And us here on the bottom will fall first and hardest,... 

I AM SCARED I WON'T MAKE IT
