Have you ever wonder why less than 11% of people on #ODSPoverty are married or in couples? If they do try, they lose most or all of their benefits. Nobody wants to beg their loved one for money for basic needs.

#Disabled Canadians need their #CRPD Article28 right 2 an adequate std of living NOT a basic Income that wont meet their needs. #Ableist #BasicIncome advocates r pretend to advocate for the disabled while ignoring the extra expenses of disabled Canadians @scottsantens
#Ableism
You should be ashamed of yourselves to not even listen to the excluded disabled and all those forced to make terrible choices to qualify. There needs to be a floor below which no one can fall. That's the only way no one with a disability is excluded.
