Politics CanadaDeep poverty in Ontario worsened by Trump's tariffs and Premier Doug Ford's failure to raise OW and ODSP rates. "People on government assistance programs such as ODSP receive up to $1,368 per month, or $16,416 annually, while Ontario Works recipients receive up to $733 per month or $8,796 annually — both below the Canadian lowincome cutoff or the poverty line, which currently sits at $29,380." <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poverty</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homelessness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelessness</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/foodinsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foodinsecurity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ODSP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ODSP</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OW</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dougford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dougford</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tariffs</a> <a href="https://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/news/niagara-region/middle-class-low-income-niagara-families-impacted-most-by-trade-war-experts/article_de7b187d-dd3e-51cc-be4c-7fca1cd0f2d5.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/news/niagara-region/middle-class-low-income-niagara-families-impacted-most-by-trade-war-experts/article_de7b187d-dd3e-51cc-be4c-7fca1cd0f2d5.html</a>

Or, more importantly, which meals I'm skipping for financial reasons. That's way too common, especially in 2025.

As long as they clearly state that they are taking you to a hospital or doctors office or bringing you home from such place, your worker will reimburse your fair. Also, if an abled friend or family member takes you to an appointment where they have to pay for parking, if you submit that receipt the parking fee fees will be covered as well.
