#ODSP fact #483 ; I haven't gotten a haircut in two years because that $30 is three days of groceries on the pitiful amount I get. And yes, #OntarioWorks has it worse. $10 a day for food in 11% inflation times is social murder. #pwd #pwdallies #odsp #disabled

I've moved every 2-3 years since I was #homeless at 18. Seniors home, above a bar, bed bugs, rooming houses, black mold, illegal apts, squatted in a ruined home. That alone, without the horrible diet and lackluster #mentalhealth support has destroyed me. #Canada is a lie. #pwd
