HELP!!!!

OK, I will try to say this with out sounding like a bigot ........ All over the news is this thing to make it ok for those of you who are illegally here in Toronto, (apparently there are 400,000) to go to shelters or food banks.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE???

 Does the news tell everyone that if you are born and raised here and  receive Child Tax you cannot get help from the Salvation Army here in Scarborough? Do they ever show pictures of Canadian born children hungry???

Ontario is sliding so far down hill with its politics and catering to others that we are now a national joke. We will spend millions on gay pride, wastefully spend money studying why cement falls off the Gardiner Expressway - (which, as my 9 year old pointed out, is caused by gravity, that is what makes things fall, so there the mystery is solved). The money spent studying the poor could be better spent feeding the poor - AND I DO NOT MEAN THE POOR WHO ENTERED AND LIVE HERE ILLEGALLY. I MEAN THE POOR WHO'S FAMILIES WERE BORN HERE!

Most of the East Coast of this beautiful country live below the poverty line, as does many families here in Toronto.

Let's have a debate in council about how even to consider passing more freebies to the illegals will definitely help the surviving poor who were born here.

I have to stop watching the news - it ruins my day.

    CCTB is NOT an income. It is Canada Child Tax Benifit. It was set up similar to our recently introduced Trillium Benifit. It is to REPLACE our lump sum tax refund. Recipient at a Charity MUST receive this to qualify. There are only 3 reasons why you do not get CCTB. a) you don't have a child b) you didn't file last years taxes c) you made too much income to qualify. You might want to reconnect with the Scarborough chapter and enlighten them on their "discrimination". East York chapter DOES NOT count CCTB as income.

    The Scarborough chapter often tells people that they cannot receive help because they receive CCTB and Social Assistance. I have had many convey this to me - especially at Christmas time. I do not mean to sound too negative. Fortunately for me I have received help many times without any distress.

    The main point I am making in my rant is that here we are spending more money discussing helping illegals when there are many, many legal souls here who need help. Combining Social Assistance, CCTB and the Trillium benefits still leave the average family with very little income. Statistically they live 50% below the Federal Poverty line - when will this ever change?

    Social Services gives a yearly increase of 1 to 2 percent, meanwhile rents go up either an equal or higher amount - leaving the poor with no extra cost of living increase. Many people who are on assistance are not there by choice and do not have a way of bettering their positions. When everyday is filled with worry concerning food, clothing, etc., it is hard to exist.

    I, personally, believe, and quite strongly, that it is time we started REALLY helping the low income families that are here legally.

    The key word to this whole conversation is : "ILLEGAL" - which my dictionary describes as "law-breaking", we should not make it easier for them to live here illegally. Just saying.....

    AGREED ! I receive ODSP and volunteer at The Foodbank. I hear ya LOUD and clear. When I work part time they claw back 50% of the gross income...That's double taxation and creates a LOSS for me to go to work. I receive child support and they clawback 100% of that. My son WAS a dependant on my case and we had been assured for 2yrs that apprentiships count as full time training positions. Until he was placed. THEN I'm told his training must include 60% of class time. (WHAT apprentice does 60% class time ?) So not only was he removed but when I charge him $300 rent that I need because they removed his benifits I get charged $100 boarder fee"
    TRUST ME, there have been many a time I want to say... "It's because I'm white, right ?!? " The fact remains the same, if the Salvation Army denies access to familys recieving CCTB THAT itself is an illegal process.
    We may never be able to Deport ALL of Canada's illegal immigrants. Trudeau saw to that, but we should certainly be able to moderate the illegal charities.
    P.S... I stopped watching the news 5 yrs ago. Plenty of current events info on the web, where I can read and stop reading at my own discretion and mood... lol :)

    Amen to that Marion. The system is designed to keep the poor, poor and the rich, richer!

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy

Demons Of Guilt

Menu The LightHouse Dann Verner Some say my that my life has been a tragic sad tale. Only from their view point. Having lived through my life I can say it has been a damn good ride. I fear not dying for to die is final. To be waiting for that one final jolt of pain is extremely difficult to deal with. DEMONS OF GUILT This is a reflection of the pain I am going through as I finish my son’s biography. Delaney Jordan McLean Verner, 29 years old. Jordan “Bubba” Verner On Christmas morning 2019, hung himself in a town called Black Diamond . An obscure town in the underbelly of Alberta, Canada. He and his wife of 12 years, Katelyn had gone their to start a new life. Hoping to escape the homelessness rut and street life they were “Groundhog Day “  living on the streets of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A dream that collapsed and left them stranded, freezing and hungry. Only to have Alberta Social Services rudely tell him and his wife to “Go home”. By any way they could. But, a big “but”….. Adding

My Opinion Regarding the Israeli/Hamas War

  Listen to this episode on Spotify or wherever you stream podcasts. How can it be all right for one side of a war ( Israel)  to bomb innocent civilians, but not okay for the other side ( Hamas)  to do so? Common sense would tell you that the majority of the people living in the Gaza strip are not supporters of the barbarism of the Hamas. They would much rather be living peaceful lives. Not living under the reign of fear from the Hamas. Largest part of the Gaza strip problem is that if the Hamas were to allow the innocent to leave, where could they go? Israel? Egypt? The majority of the Palestinian people are in the same boat as the average citizen of Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria. They are labeled and condemned by the actions of their governing leaders. The terrorist government controls every and all aspects of their everyday lives. You can not believe that all Palestinian citizens want to go to war. Their hands are tied and their voices are silenced by their leaders If they were to spea
