I'm on ODSP in Windsor. Just let me know when to make my protest sign and where I need to stand. Claw Back Step Forward.

The Alberta Premier Smith and Minister of Seniors, Community and Social Services Jason Nixon already said they are clawing back the $200/ month Canada Disability Benefit from the AISH disability program. Looks like Ontario is borrowing the Alberta playbook. 😡

I'm 29, lupus, on ODSP, and after medication costs not covered under ODB I get $132.97 a month in benefits. I'm sharing WiFi with a neighbour and sew my broken clothes because I just can't live like this.
