  1. Instead of shutting things down again (cos that worked so well the first time around) and handing out more CERB payments why the EFF doesn't the government increase payments for people on disability? The pittance they issue every month would have been a starvation wage even way back in the '60s.

      Because unfortunately the government sees those people as burdens… 

       

      I agree more should be done for the disabled both provincially and federally as they get very little income support.

      People on disability can't even get CERB. I think they should eligible for the short term and for the long term get raises.

      I only like the shutdown because I can just roll out of bed and hop on zoom without the 1 hour commute

      I didn't mind the first lockdown personally because that was the most, and only, time off work I had had in 20 years. 

       

      As for disability, they pay $850. A month. I'm lucky though because I moved back home a couple years ago and my parents decided to not charge me rent. And I have no car payments. But even so, I can't live off that pittance. It's so frustrating, especially knowing there are so many of us who want to but can't work for whatever reason and our own government doesn't give a sh!t about us. They'd rather give multi-million dollar handouts to multi-million dollar businesses. FFS there needs to be a revolution in this country.
