☝️Hopefully that clarifies the poll. This is just an opening feel for interest. Lots to figure out, possibly something entirely novel to fit our unique circumstances.
I just know for myself I am fed up.
If gov't leaders continue to support a system that make it hard for me to exist, then I am gonna exist somewhere it will be emotionally and politically uncomfortable to do so. ✊🥄

Floating an exploratory balloon:
Who in #Ontario is interested in doing a spoonie sit-in protest this year?
Lots of logistics to sort out, we'd need lots of helpers - like rides, pillow nest portage, masking, snacks... But let's start w a quick poll.
(and feel free to brainstorm, discuss in the comments) Brand new idea here.

Well! December is here and today I opened an early Christmas present curtesy of the Ontario Disability Support Program (#ODSP).
On the 20th, I received an email telling me I had a letter waiting for me, but because I've been so busy with college I didn't have the chance to look. I checked my bank account today, and discovered I haven't received my ODSP payment for the month of December. So I checked the letter online and what does it say?"I am writing to you about your income support from the Ontario Disability Support Program
(ODSP).
I am sorry to tell you we have put your file on hold as of November 17, 2025. Keep reading
to find out:
why we put your file on hold
what you can do next."
So why was my file put on hold? Apparently...
"We did not receive information about your earnings this month."
For context, I had a summer job. I alerted my case worker I would have a summer job, and I was very specific when it would start, and when it would end. She put a note in my file. When I reported my income, in my last email I specifically indicated it was the end of my time there. That was in August. It is now December. What I don't understand is why this is happening now, or indeed at all.
The Liberals never intended to deliver real support that Disability Advocates fought for. The CDB was promised to be adequate, accessible, and clawback-proof. They ignored us. What rolled out is a slap in the face.
The fall budget is their second chance: adopt my former Bill C-422 and fix the CDB—for real.

Here are my notes from that info session on accessibility:

I haven't been on #ODSP for a few years, but the one thing I don't miss about it is deciding which meal I get to have today. Or, more importantly, which meals I'm skipping for financial reasons. That's way too common, especially in 2025. That should change. #Ontario, we can change that. https://www.change.org/p/urge-doug-ford-to-double-odsp-payouts-for-comparable-living-standards/u/33302861
If you're in Ontario and have any experience with #ODSP, you can help bring Doug Ford's attention to the fact everyone knows it needs to go up except him. Tell him to double it like everyone else wanted to. https://chng.it/VLfrSQTXWq
Totally expecting people to give Doug and the Thugs a victory in Ontario, so the disabled people will be wiped out completely and they'll no longer be a problem. #OnPoli #ODSP #ProgressiveConservatives
#ontario needs to wake up a bit.
There are things at stake. #healthcare #education #canada #ltc #thermespa #greenbelt #beerstores #odsp #housingcrisis
@stephanie @ghost_gurney In my opinion, there is massive systemic failure in how useless local authorities were in dealing with that situation, and that might be why it’s important to #vote.
The Rouleau report on the matter made it clear that disinformation was at play, and Ford was vocal about his loyalty to drumf, conservatives were clearly aligned with the #convoy … so more of this, as ER’s shutter, #ltc, #autism, #odsp… seriously??? Now!?!
@SimoneRacanelli: RT @DorisGrinspun: Premier, @RNAO has been asking to double the #ODSP for years because people in #ODSP are NOT lazy. They suffered disabi… - https://twitter.com/SimoneRacanelli/status/1889690656001446035
