The Canada Disability Benefit must be a Canadian program that includes all low-income people with disabilities- not just those on federal programs but also those on provincial/territorial and First Nations social assistance #canadianbenefit

United Way Halifax It's shocking to see the prices of food and rent keep climbing and climbing...

The new living wage calculations tell us important things about the costs of goods and services in NS, and what it takes to live a moderate lifestyle. $22.05/hr doesn't allow for a life of luxury, but it allows for a much more dignified lifestyle with more opportunity for choice.

Canada Worker Lockdown Benefit announced yesterday is a targeted federal income support for working age adults. Will offer $1,200 a month for eligible individuals. This could be basic amount for Canada Disability Benefit to supplement other programs for a $2,200 floor + services
