Action Alert: The #CanadaDisabilityBenefit is meant to support disabled Ontarians who live on very low incomes in part because #ODSP is so low. It's NOT meant to save Ontario money. The Premier needs to commit to no clawbacks ASAP. Send your reps a letter now! incomesecurity.org/campaigns/te...

Why it’s time to bring back CERB
The two pillars of Canada’s social safety net fail most workers or sentence families to deep poverty
Great minds think alike! We've been talking about this in our office all week. Ricardo from CCPA makes the point that EI couldn't help most workers during mass disruption, which is why CERB was created. EI needs an overhaul to better support all workers. www.thestar.com/opinion/why-...
