I spent the day today with my best friend of 15 years at her home in Hamilton. Anyone who thinks subsidized housing via #OntarioWorks is living in luxury wouldn't last a day with what she puts up with.
So let's talk about living on the "dole" @fordnation. My friend left an abusive relationship in 2015 with just the clothes on her back and her two girls. She spent 45 days in a shelter before getting housing. She had $681.00 a month to run a household. Groceries ate up a third.
She tried the infamous conservative tuna diet and made use of food banks that you love to take photo ops at each food holiday to remind us all you only give a damn about the poor three times a year. It was awful. Her kids won't touch tuna anymore. It makes them nauseated.

It's lengthy, so I’ve tried to capture the threads with, well, this thread🧵. #onpoli

Though the gov repealed some of its early decisions on income support, there are significant changes underway on the service delivery side, in particular changes to the employment and skills training offered to #OntarioWorks recipients that we need to pay attention to.
