In the September 23, 2020 throne speech - responding to the disproportionate levels of poverty amongst folks with disabilities, the governing party promised "a Canada Disability Benefit modelled after the Guaranteed Income Supplement".
In the time since - from limiting the benefit to just $200 per month to limiting it to just those who can access the incredibly burdensome Disability Tax Credit - we’ve seen them move further and further away from that promise at every significant step.
On the four-year anniversary of that promise, Mike takes the opportunity to push the governing party to follow-through and fix the CDB.
