Here’s your reminder that Ontario expects disabled people to live on 13k a year.

If they are lucky. Getting disability anything requires 90% luck and a doctor who “has the time” to sign a few documents.

In the US, they assign doctors to evaluate you, only to see you literally struggling to walk/balance yourself, and be told you could “probably work at least 4-8 hours a week, no disability for you, moocher”.

Nevermind that even if said mythical 4-8 hour/week, remote job existed, the pay wouldnt cover jack shit…

In BC it’s 18k a year for comparison.
