The benefit could add $200 a month for people struggling. But the UCP government will deduct it from its own support.

Disabled guy here...Liberals don't care either. I highly doubt you would find any member of any political party at any level of government in Canada actively fighting for increases in disability payments and supports regularly. This is proven by decades of inactivity while disabled people scream into the wind.

Meanwhile some disabled people are publicly killing themselves with the use of government programs, while openly telling everyone why, instead of struggling to survive. No outcry. No rage. No nothing. From anyone. A story in the paper here and there and at a turn of the page any sympathy or even pity is gone to the next poor soul you don't really care about.

THIS ISN'T A CONSERVATIVE ISSUE. No government is interested in helping us. Most citizens aren't either or things would be different than they are.

Consider that you should be careful and also hope that you don't get sick. Your life could be ruined by a simple miscalculation or even a cancer you never heard of. But there won't be enough of you cripples to make a difference and everyone else couldn't give a shit until it happens to them so you're just perpetually fucked.
