It has been ANOTHER tough year for Disabled Canadians on Disability Income Support in EVERY Province/Territory 🇨🇦 - continuing to suffer in government-imposed POVERTY.
Please, let us provide Poverty Level support for ALL 1.5 million PWD in 2026!
Merry Christmas to my fellow PWD! 🙏❤️🌲

Friday marked the grand opening of a unique food bank in Langford. The Veterans Food Bank Victoria's target market is military veterans and first responders, and operators say there is growing demand for this type of service in the region.

The B.C. NDP and B. C. Greens worked together on the initiative through their co-operation and responsible governance accord agreement. Rob Botterell, Saanich North MLA representing the Greens, said clawbacks put up roadblocks and he’s glad they’re ending.

My former NDP MP colleague Don Davies brought the voices of the National Disability Network and 900k+ disabled Canadians to Parliament. Bill C-4 lowers taxes—but also reduces disability tax credits. The NDP is calling on all parties to fix this before it becomes law. #FIXIT

Most disabled people who can't work and rely on government support just want enough money so we can pay our bills and rent, get groceries, do laundry, get a haircut, buy our medications and devices and look after our support animals properly with some left over to get clothes or replace things.

There is still time to FIX IT! This oversight needs to be corrected before the tax cut becomes law.

This letter in the video makes an important point that might easily be overlooked in a broad tax policy decision:
