    Canada doesn’t even give people on disability enough to afford rent, let alone groceries, power bills, car insurance, etc.

    Maybe start there. Help the disabled survive.

      My friend is on disability and bring home the equivalent of $20 dollars an hour in a province with a minimum of $15. From my understanding he is on one of the lowest tiers of the benefit. There are a huge variety of levels of disability benefits depending on the type of disability.

      My aunt is on disability from the military and brings home over 6000 a month. We definitely need to cut the military budget.

      LPC is at least forcing grocery stores to have fair pricing.
