I’m sorry. Canada’s failed you and I’m sorry.

Sorry about your cancer situation. Mine was surgery, chemo and radiation for 7 weeks. I was self employeed so still worked PT from home, because bills don’t stop even f you are fatigued. I didn’t qualify for that cancer fund relief because of earning too much the previous year. That system makes no sense, you need a previous tax year of failure before they help out. As for disability, my wife has that and you are right it is not good. she can work only 4 hours a week or they stop her disability.
