    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.

      There’s a difference between disability paid as income assistance from government services, and disability from private insurance.

      Even at the maximum disability allowance, you get about $15.50 a DAY.
