Social Engineering is live and well sadly in our society. If you as a cog don't fit into the machinery then there's no reason to keep you around. "You" being the proverbial "you' of course. I feel very sad for the future of humanity as we know it in many ways. Willie, while I have no issue with the group posting this story I can completely emphasize with your post.

Here is what happens. You become ill, ie cancer. The doctor deems you disabled. Before you can qualify for Ontario Disability you must spend 3 months with Ontario works. So, you follow the correct procedure. During my radiation, because my rent was $675.00/month, and Ontario works pay's 525.00/month, they send you a notice to evict you from the rental property due to high rent. Keep in mind all through this I am taking 30 session's of radiation. I was sick. When the time comes to move, Ontario works allows $800.00 every 2 years. The cost to move 400km was quoted at $3000.00. Now, here is the kicker. If you end up living on the street with no address, then, Ontario works only pays $200.00/month. For myself, I was fortunate to have great family and friends who were there to assist me. Had I not had a good support system, I would have been forced to recover from cancer on the streets of Oshawa. Now folks, how proud are you to hear just a smidgen of how our system treats those suffering from an illness. I have worked all my life from shoveling snow as a child, to being gainfully employed for most of my adult life. If you don't think this can happen to you or a loved one, please think again.
