Disabled Canadians are in dire straits. The most you can receive from a Disability Pensions (CPP) is $700 a month except in “special cases”, I dont know what those are. OR $500 from Welfare, NOT BOTH. Rent in most major cities, other than Regina, for a decent apartment is over $1000.00 a month. By decent I mean it has an elevator, is in a safe neighbourhood, is well maintained and you dont have criminals, drug dealers and hookers for your neighbours, no nightly shoot outs or stand offs.

We pay more for food and gas in Canada then people in the US do. $5.486 for a gallon of gas in Canada. Many of us are totally dependent on our cars as we cant access or use public transit. $700 a month, assuming you receive maximum benefits is not enough to pay for rent, food, utilities, insurance, vehicle maintenance, gas, clothing, and other needs, including prescriptions that arent “covered” etc. I resent posters saying “there is no exuse to mooch off others”, they dont live in Canada obviously.
