I totally agree with this as a person on disability benefits who can’t work at all we should be allowed to keep money from other sources that isn’t from work. Winning the lottery for everyone is a dream. As a disabled person to win the lottery means more than anyone knows as you finally get out of poverty and you don’t have to deal with all the stupid bureaucracy rules and regulations that come with PWD benefits.
Ravinder Kaur supported: Petition to End the Unfair Deduction of Unearned Income from BC PWD AssistanceI wanted to share some concerns regarding the ongoing construction in our Dufferin community. It seems that the road lighting is insufficient, which can make it difficult for residents, especially those of us who don’t drive, to navigate while carrying laundry carts or other necessities.
Additionally, the construction noise at night can be pretty disruptive, and I worry about the safety of children crossing the street, particularly with the ongoing preparations for the new developments.
It would be beneficial to update the signal lights to ensure everyone's safety, as there is a risk of accidents when cars make turns. It might be worth considering pausing the project temporarily to assess how we can better address the needs of our community.
If the aim is to create a cycle lane, I hope we can find solutions that enhance Dufferin St instead of complicating it further. I appreciate the efforts to improve our area, and I’m hopeful we can collaborate on making choices that will benefit our community. Thank you for considering our feedback! City Hall should fix falling roads, such as the Dovercourt and Hallam areas. Or another street that needs more repairing, not Dufferin St
abigail supported: Oppose RapidTO Project on DufferinHow can Dufferin St residents live with no stopping, no unloading groceries, no accommodation for tradespeople to maintain our homes, no opportunity for tenants to move in and out, and then we all stare at the RED LANE as a reminder that required living conditions are enjoyed buy everyone else except those of us who live on Dufferin St? Rationality would have to agree that this is not part of a definition of community living!
Marlon supported: Oppose RapidTO Project on DufferinCost of living crisis is making life hard for everyone but why should the people who are already struggling to get by suffer the most? My husband is disabled and although we do not receive ODSP funds, we know how expensive a disability can be. Barely scraping by and then suddenly hit with an emergency? Too bad you aren't a valued member of society. If we are judged by how we treat the most vulnerable members of our society, Ontario should be deeply ashamed.
Meagan supported: Increase ODSP for disabled Ontarians @ONSocialService @fordnationMy son is deaf and hard of hearing and the amount of activities he misses out on is sad. It breaks my heart that all his friends can go swimming and he can't due to his friends can't sign to him as he does not have water proof hearing devices. My son could not participate is any school activities as he did not have an Interrupter for communication as the noise level is to loud and can not hear speech. How is fair we deprive the Deaf and Hard of Hearing but not any other disabilities. This would open so much more opportunity for all our Deaf and heard of Hearing children. This is just the start of my son's story.
Trenia supported: Equal Access to Recreation for Deaf Children in BCBeing Homeless is not a choice, often the result of bad luck. But that isn't the case in Canada, we are a nation going through a housing crisis. A crisis often reveals who a
person truly is at their core. Let's make sure that the crisis currently affecting Canadians, specifically Toronto citizens, shows who we are as a nation. That we are a kind, compassionate and strong nation. That we will weather not only winter storms, but also these storms together. Every person deserves somewhere safe to sleep.
Jasmine supported: HOMELESSNESS EMERGENCY - TELL TORONTO CITY COUNCIL TO CHOOSE COMPASSION OVER HOSTILITYA women's two children just died from below freezing temperatures because there was no one to help them off the streets. These are people that need help!
Arianna supported: HOMELESSNESS EMERGENCY - TELL TORONTO CITY COUNCIL TO CHOOSE COMPASSION OVER HOSTILITYMy ex is from TO. Spent time there when Canada was living up to the promise America always claimed it was. Today, you’re at war with the homeless just like America is…why? Please go back to showing the world what a beacon of democracy and decency towards all looks like.
Jeffrey supported: HOMELESSNESS EMERGENCY - TELL TORONTO CITY COUNCIL TO CHOOSE COMPASSION OVER HOSTILITYTwo men just froze to death in my city, less than a mile from our brand new Homeless Services Center. It's not a good look, I'm sure you don't want the same.
Hilda supported: HOMELESSNESS EMERGENCY - TELL TORONTO CITY COUNCIL TO CHOOSE COMPASSION OVER HOSTILITYEveryone deserves a chance to live, and live well, without having to worry about so much as to if they’re going to have a place to stay. They’re people too, like you and I, with their own livelihoods and stories. But they may not have it as easy as us, and it’s up to us to help them when they can’t do so for themselves. These things could happen to almost anybody going through a rough time, even to these good people. So please, if you are able, help these people. You could have the power to change their lives for the better. The time is now.
