1. Pobreza Legislada y la Crisis de la Discapacidad.
El tema más recurrente es la "pobreza legislada" impuesta a las personas con discapacidad (PWD) a través de programas provinciales (ODSP, AISH) y la decepción con el Beneficio Canadiense por Discapacidad (CDB), que se considera insuficiente y con barreras de acceso.
- I hate the limited support that canada provides to people with disabilities. Its legislated poverty.
- This is all wonderful, but theres nothing in there about disabled canadians who live in legislated poverty, many on less than 1,00 per month.
- Disabled people live in abject poverty nobody gets adequate mental healthcare in canada but the liberal government is trying the endlessly debunked trickle-down with the middle class cdnpoli onpoli.
- The poverty facing canadians on social programs is a scandal that didnt really see the light of day this election. On tuesday, lets not forget about canadians living in poverty. No one should have to choose between rent and food or medicine in canada. Guaranteedincome elderly disabled.
- The fact mark carney and the libs are trying to bribe disabled canadians instead of actually paying something to let them live is disgusting. I wish i could love this shitty country but i doubt i ever could again. The poverty is inescapable.
- The canada disability benefit was meant to fight poverty. Instead, it offers up to 200monthfor a fewburied in red tape and out of reach for many. This is the liberals version of dignity.
- In canada, its their maid program being used for not end of life option. Pwd,some with mental disabilities r being coerced by nurses doctors to consider it an option rather than live in deep legislative poverty.
2. La Inadecuación de los Programas de Asistencia Social.
Existe un consenso generalizado de que los programas de asistencia social provinciales y federales mantienen a los beneficiarios muy por debajo del umbral oficial de pobreza, lo que resulta en inseguridad alimentaria y habitacional.
- 98 of canadians receiving social assistance live below poverty line 73 of were living in deep poverty, which is having incomes below 75 per cent of the poverty threshold. Canada humanrights.
- Every single provinces support is under the federal poverty line. Its unliveable in most places.
- Odsp is 50 below the canadian poverty line. If i hadnt rented an apartment years ago thats rent controlled id be homeless by now.
- The overwhelming majority of programs for combating poverty are provincial. Housing and healthcare are also provincial.
- Aish recipients are the highest paid in canada, so they dont need an extra 200month. And because they earn so much, while living below the poverty line, my ucp govt is also raising their rent and making them find jobs! abpoli ucpcorruption.
- The amount of people struggling to keep a roof above their heads while not able to afford anything else in north america is absurd. In a country like canada where the cold can kill you overnight, keep a roof became more important than buying food, so now we have people living in poverty with a job.
3. El Costo Humano y Económico de Mantener la Pobreza.
Se critica la falta de voluntad política para abordar la pobreza, a pesar de que su mantenimiento cuesta miles de millones de dólares anualmente, y se señala la conexión alarmante entre la pobreza y la opción de la Asistencia Médica para Morir (MAID).
- Poverty , food and rent insecurity, homelessness, the disabled in forced poverty are all policy choices between both federal and provincial governments. Canada is not performing well on those measurements in my opinion.
- In 2024, nearly 10 million canadians, including 2.5 million children, lived in food-insecure households.
- Yesterday was the international day for the eradication of poverty a reminder that poverty is actually a policy choice and is not inevitable. We know the cost of poverty in canada exceeds 90 billion each year, yet current approaches fail to allow folks to rebound out of poverty. 13.
- Canada has turned to less effective options like charity, rather than engaging solutions that could end poverty hunger, such as a basic income guarantee.
- Canada has seen 40 years of wealth concentration at the top, rising inequality, and increasing poverty.
- The affordability crisis is costing lives in winnipegcentre and across canada. Poverty is a human right violation and, although the liberals and conservatives teamed up to defeat my billc223, i will not give up the fight. Guaranteed livable basic income is the future!
4. Soluciones Propuestas: Ingreso Básico Garantizado (UBI).
Una solución ampliamente defendida es la implementación de un Ingreso Básico Garantizado (UBI) a nivel federal, argumentando que es fiscalmente más inteligente y la forma más efectiva de reducir la pobreza significativamente.
- Canada instituted the largest income support program in our history and poverty was halved during the height of the pandemic. Sad that the lessons werent learned.
- Canada spends way more policing poverty than it would cost to build a guaranteed income floor that empowers millions of people with opportunity and hope. Its a worthy investment.
- In a report published this summer, canadas parliamentary budget office, the federal governments fiscal watchdog, found that a guaranteed basic income program at the federal level could cut poverty rates in canada by up to 40 per cent.
- Basic income costs less than poverty. Canadians are looking for leaders who understand this and will fight for it.
- The biggest investment in canadians, the economy and reducing government inefficiency and crime reduction is through a guaranteed liveable basic income. Addressing poverty costs 80b. Implementing ubi 3b.
- We need a federal guaranteed living basic income for all living below the poverty line. Eliminate provincial disability and welfare keep social supports so inadequate ei and other employment plans do not push people into poverty.
