The Canada Disability Benefit Is Failing the People Who Need It Most
We've been waiting for 2 years to see a poverty reduction program come to life for Canadians struggling with disabilities. The Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) was intended to be the historic step that would help to reduce and eventually end disability poverty from coast to coast. It's taken years of consultations, advocacy, and legislative debate; when the benefit finally passed into law in 2023, and was included in the 2024 federal budget, we thought we had finally seen a victory on the horizon.

No pretenses. Just raw, unvarnished hatred.
