Kim (bus. owner) was on @CBCNews complaining that CERB isn't enough to live on, & is talking about how humiliating it is for people who have to go to a food bank. Will someone @ CBC now interview a person who has a disability, trying to live on nearly half that amount? @CBCSuhana
People with disabilities, just like those who found themselves unemployed/out of business due to the pandemic, are currently living in poverty through no fault of their own. Many people with disabilities had good careers before they were stripped of them, because they had the...
...misfortune of getting sick.

Can a reporter/journalist please ask government why people with disabilities are repeatedly forced to humiliate themselves by going to food banks, when they did not ask for their disability to happen to them?
Can a reporter/journalist also ask provincial and federal governments why people with disabilities are expected to live on less than $1,200 a month, in most provinces in Canada, when people can't live on $2,000 a month?
