Like a fish on a sandy beach…

Lately, i’ve been feeling like a dying fish, caught on a sandy beach. No matter what i do, my life is not improving one bit! I get $474 a month for shelter from ODSP disability; but because there’s no income housing, i’m forced to pay market rent of $785 dollars a month, leaving me with $311 dollars a month less, to survive on, and i’m not surviving very well.

How Ontario’s Mike Harris,1995 Created A Disabled Lone Women Poverty Pool.

I wrote this article long ago(2006 i think?).. let the truth be known; that today, 2012; lone, disabled Mother’s.. victimized and left affected, by the Mike Harris “Common Sense Social Services Revolution” live close to minus thirty percent below poverty levels, in Ontario, Canada! I call this act of “poverty pooling”… malignant politics!! It warped my view of people, places and things.. to become so depowered financially; and hence become so community-exploited! My views on people with addictions will seem harsh to some readers; this is explained by my negative experiences, with perhaps some of the worst, most violent, most dangerous kind; due to the fact, currently(5-2012, i live on $9K a year.. June-2012, move to a city; where i’ll have to pay $785 a month rent; but, disability ODSP only gives me $469 a month for: rent, heat, hydro. Color me… cynical, hopeless.. in poverty hell? dds

Imagine this… Can you?

I wrote the article below, many years ago! Found it in my archives.. not much has changed.. except being poorer, older.. and i’ll be paying $785 a month rent next month; but.. on Ontario, Disability; will be given only $474 a month for rent, heat and hydro! Considering i’m having brain surgery… imagine this… can you? Thre is not enough geared to income housing, for lone disabled women, living minus thirty percent below poverty, in Ontario, Canada! This, is Malignant Politics.

Unedited version, so watch out for all the litter!
