S4 Ep. 48 Show Me the Money! How Provinces Hide $2 Billion From Disabled Citizens

Persons with disabilities are pleading: "Show me the money!"The provincial ministry in charge of Disability Income Assistance brags about having over $2 billion in reserve for things like rent & food 'crisis supplements', yet frontline support workers & politicians alike keep that $2 billion locked away and will instead gaslight anyone who desperately needs the extra help.The problem is two-fold. First, Disability Income Assistance is already well-below poverty level and woefully inadequate. Rents, food prices and cost of living has skyrocketed but Disability Income Assistance rates remain ridiculously low.A 2nd plea for "Show me the money" amongst the disability community is our sincere desire to know exactly how provincial funds are spent...and crucially, where taxpayer money is being wasted. People with disabilities deserve dignity and respect. We all deserve transparency & accountability from our government and politicians also.In this episode of PWD Allies podcast, Jeff Leggat from Disability Action of Canada joins as our guest.PWD Allies podcast airs every week on YouTube, hosted by Brent Frain.
