Flip side of that coin is those same 'Benefit Unit' rules that disincentivize cohabitation can also trap ppl in abusive and/or toxic relationships/environments e.g. partner's income reduces other partner's #ODSP cheque, creating a power imbalance in which one controls all the $$.

Despite #HousingCrisis Ont's social assistance prog's - #OW & #ODSP - disincentivize couples living together. 'Benefit unit' rules are based on outdated assumptions that don't reflect the realities of poverty, disability & the real cost of living. #ONpoli.

NEW: Premier Doug Ford on PM mark Carney’s homebuilding plans:. “ The worst thing to do is get government to build homes … I believe in giving it to the private sector.”. Ford says the homebuilding sector needs to be recharged and asks people to consider buying a condo now that.

Rally held outside Queen’s Park over Bill 6 which criminalizes #homelessness and conflates it with addiction. Thank you @Diana_C_McNally for your tireless efforts organizing & pushing back against this harmful & dangerous legislation. #ONpoli.
