Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · Feb 12
DJNO, @DisabilityPM, @ODSPAction & disabled organizers from around Ontario have put together a new post-election platform: EndAusterity.ca. Friends, this is bigger than any election. Enough is enough—30 years of austerity & social murder of disabled people needs to end.
The image is a composite of black-and-white portraits of various Ontario Premiers--Mike Harris, Ernie Eves, Dalton McGuinty, Kathleen Wynne, and Doug Ford, arranged in repeating rows against a purple background. Superimposed over the portraits is bold white text reading: "for 30 Years Disabled Folks in Ontario have been failed by austerity politics, by undermining social services, and by every government.". Below this, in the lower third, is a large, contrasting yellow text reading: "Enough is Enough." Followed by white text reading "endausterity.ca"

So, what are we seeing in the first Carney Budget on housing accessibility? Not much! Only mention: the Housing Accessibility Tax Credit (that mostly benefits wealthier folks, as the government notes).

Nope."

So, there is a lot to go through in the 2025 Federal (austerity) Budget, but we know that members of the community want to know what are we seeing in the first Carney Budget re: the Canada Disability Benefit.

Possibly more beyond this budget timeline. - Government will move to exempt CDB under the Income Tax Act (ie. AFNI)."

Alt: Rob Flack tweeted: “ Our government is not proceeding with consultations on potential changes to Ontario’s tenancy lease framework regarding month-to-month leases. We will continue to implement other common-sense reforms to strengthen the province’s rental housing market. Full statement below: Residents expect stability and predictability in Ontario’s rental market, and now is not the time to consider changes to this system. As such, we have decided not to proceed with consultations on potential changes to month-to-month leases. Ontario will continue to implement common-sense reforms and strengthen the province’s rental housing market by restoring balance at the Landlord and Tenant Board, cracking down on abuse of the system, and encouraging new rental construction to make it easier for families to find a place to call home.”
