RBC: over half of Canadian parents are subsidizing their adult kids' rent and groceries.
Not because young people won't work. Because full-time wages don't cover full-time costs anymore.
A country can't run on "hope your parents have money."

Can't afford rent.
Can't afford groceries.
Can't afford electricity.
Can't afford college.
Can't get healthcare.
Can't get a job.
Can't get an education.
But you know what I'm really worried about?
Toronto having more world-class conventions.

I WANT my taxes to fund universal healthcare, dental care, and other social safety net programs, not politicians living in tax payer funded mansions.
YOU?

Hey @fordnation, you have no extra money for Disabled Ontarians, but you can put out an ad in America that ends trade talks? You’re a fucking disgrace. Resign and fuck off you clown.

Oh I thought she said youth unemployment rate was high because of temporary foreign workers! It so hard to keep up with her!

Exactly
When EI runs out they will be given $733.00 per month Ontario Works Welfare Payment to live on IF they still have a residence
Once they become unhoused Ontario Works is cut to $343.00 per month
ONTARIO WORKS has had NO increases in 7 years
NOT EVERYONE IS ON DRUGS!! – at Canada
Ontario has 800,000 unemployed workers.
800,000 people who are worried about how they are going to make ends meet.
If they can stay housed.
If they can afford to buy groceries this week.
But sure, let’s keep talking about speed cameras, @fordnation.

I’m sick and tired of hearing people complain about who’s serving their coffee at Tim Horton’s.
It just doesn’t matter. I don’t care about the ethnicity of people who are working hard to earn a living.
IF YOU DO, YOU’RE A RACIST.

Do you know why Doug Ford visited an encampment yesterday?
It was because the Caseloads and Characteristics of Ontario Works was released on Thursday.
Singles on OW: 220,159
Single Parents on OW: 24,093
Couples with/without childen on OW: 26,331
Total Job Vacancies in Ontario: 178,960
Total cases on OW over 5 years: 195,232
Total cases on OW less than 3 years: 53,634
19 times in 1,925 days @fordnation has had a chance to change the rates of #OntarioWorks to prevent homelessness. Visiting encampments won't solve problems for 220,000 Singles.
#RaiseTheRates #EnoughIsEnough @MTaylorNDP

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join.
Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard”
It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life. Engage in disability justice.

Imagine being a person with a disability, waiting five years for the promised "lift out of poverty" only to get $20 dollars a month.
That is what some people will call their Canada Disability Benefit.
That's why PWD have been riding the @liberal_party's ass about it for years
