I’m a disabled dude with a family. I live on less than half of what is considered extreme poverty for a single person in my area per year not including my wife’s income. I have no extra healthcare, dental or vision care and pay out of pocket even though I worked for ~20 years before my disability and was a part of a union. I am not disabled enough according to my government but too disabled to work according to all medical professionals I have seen, so I get no more than basic CPP.

There is no politician in this country that cares about me and my family. I have two choices on my ballot. The.politicians would all rather I be dead. I can MAID whenever I like but I am not permitted respect or a decent life and neither are my kids. Even if I could try work my way out of my hole I lose all support when I hit a very low income threshold. I have spoiled every single ballot I have cast for more than a decade in every single election at every single level of politics in Canada.

People could give a fuck though. They prove it time and time again. Tell me again who I should vote for? And why I should give a fuck about you and your politicians? People have a lot to say but it’s all bullshit.
