Someone on ODSP gets 13k a year. They haven't been able to afford an increase since before the pandemic. They haven't matched cost of living inflation EVER, so in real terms, we are getting less right now than we ever have.
All our money goes to police and prisons, and there is nothing left for programs that reduce crime and keep people healthy. I mean, there IS money left, we would just rather punish poor people.
