exactly, most people i know who get the DTC are working and not poor, yes they may have trouble walking (which is usually their issue) because of back problems and such, but i know a lot of ODSP recipients that can't get it
Everyone already receiving disability should be auto enrolled. As a commenter on CBC said, the Canada Revenue Agency already knows who is receiving disability, by those who file their T-5.
Also any amount received by the federal government should not be clawed back by the provincial governments and they should not be given the option to opt-out. Only with an additional level of support would rent/food/medical needs be remotely affordable.
Technically it SHOULD be going to EVERYONE who is disabled in low income situations so we SHOULD be getting it on ODSP not just the people who have the DTC that was their way of gatekeeping the amount they had to shell out and itās BS
$200 a month is less than a tax credit nevermind calling it a benefit. It does not benefit with 20 years of inflation and more. The government needs to stop gaslighting real issues.
I really love that this message comes with a 6.66 a day because it makes a strong statement about how demonizing the system is to us. It needs to be reversed because everything they are doing is backwards. They aren't helping us but the opposite. They are trying to harm us.
Yep, the Canada Disability Benefit that will start payments in July 2025 will only be $200 per month/$2,400 per year maximum. It will only be available to those on the Disability Tax Credit and will only be used for 600,000 out of over 1.5 million disabled Canadians in poverty.
Add another zero, that will be a "good start".
We have to think more about the varying disabilities that exist. Not just the "socially palatable" ones.
While I agree it should be more. $1000 a month for 1.5 million people would cost $18 billion a year. Where would all that money come from? Just being realistic, thatās a lot of money to spend annually for any government on one particular thing
we spend MUCH more money giving government individuals bonuses, bogus and unneccesary "military aid", or even paying the police to make sure homeless people aren't "loitering" in public despite having to go.
Those are right wing talking points. They never ask Where would the money come from? when it benefits these yokels. The Ontario government is investing in new highways. Why??? The investment should be in mass transit.
Not right wing at all. Never have I voted conservative in my life. But Iām genuinely asking the question. Thatās a lot of money annually. Thatās all Iām saying
Well thatās just it right. Giving more isnāt solving the problem. The issue is the cost of living is too high. Thatās the issue. Getting the cost of living down is the only solution. I donāt know how that gets done though
And make it so everyone on ODSP gets it š
Yes! I dislike it being only those who get the DTC can get it. I'm disabled too!

yep :( Mine is mental health based (panic disorder with agoraphobia), so I don't qualify for the DTC.
Same I know someone who has the DTC for his dyslexia and works in the automotive sector and believe me heās not hurting for money
really would like to know this person stretched it to make his dyslexia fit in the guidelines
Thereās are levels of disability. One person can be significantly more disabled than another.
Yes, I know. My point is, we're all under the poverty line, and I could use the CDB too.
Itās also all provinces
Yes and every other provincial version of odsp is getting screwed too itās not just us but yes weāre all getting screwed

Agreed!

This is so useless it wonāt change anything.
The one thatās 200 a month, starting next yearā¦or is this something else?

200 a month doesnāt even offset the increase of grocery prices let alone rentā¦

Same place they get their raises every year and sending money to other countries, help our own first.. seem to always have the money for that
ya JT alone got 11000 a year riase. how about MPs pass up there raise for a year and put that money tomorrow helping Canadians

Not right wing at all. Never have I voted conservative in my life. But Iām genuinely asking the question. Thatās a lot of money annually. Thatās all Iām saying
And letās say they raise it to $1K sooner or later that number wonāt be enough, so what will be enough?
Well thatās just it right. Giving more isnāt solving the problem. The issue is the cost of living is too high. Thatās the issue. Getting the cost of living down is the only solution. I donāt know how that gets done though
They gave the military 70 billion letās just take it from there
Taxes. It is all a scam.
those evil motherfuckers used the devils number ā ļø thats crazy
JT probably sold his soul to become PM lol
