Chances are, if you have a disability & receive ODSP in Ontario, you're living in poverty.

Today I asked the Ford govt why they discontinued the small pandemic top-up payments for ODSP & OW, and when they would reinstate the added support.

Extremely disappointing answer👇 1/3
And then there's this - a posting on the Ont Public Service website for 17 fraud investigators.

I asked the gov why they were prioritizing/funding this crackdown on recipients, and the Associate Min. replied that they're letting ppl have a tad more money w CERB.

Excuse me? 2/3
People are struggling & need support. Here's what we need in tmo's Budget:

1) A meaningful rate increase
2) No more clawbacks on federal support programs
3) Bring back pandemic relief top-ups, (automatic this time!)

We do NOT need more ways to hurt people while they're down 3/3
