My children and I (family of 4) receive $1800 a month.. I can’t even find a 1 bdrm for that let alone our food, phone bill etc. I’m being punished bc I’m disabled, my children forced to live in poverty bc I’m disabled? Are you trying to make us suffer so much we think suicide?

He doesn't care. What he is doing to the people on ODSP and OW is cruel and Inhumane.

Hey Media - keep asking the same question until they answer it. American Journalists know how to do that, we should know how to do it too.

Shame on him! Canada ratified the UN CRPD in 2010, which protects and promotes the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities without discrimination and on an equal basis with others. We are NOT on an equal basis nor do we live with dignity in legislated poverty. onpoli

At $1200/mo, it's obviously a 'no'. Very few can. Such an absurd question made it easy for him to dodge. 'Will you commit to helping us understand why just a 5% raise?' woulda been less 'gotcha'.

It's not just that it's 'the amount ODSP provides recipients'. It's what the Ontario government decrees that ODSP recipients must live on for the rest of their life. They are forbidden to earn more than $200 extra with paid work of any kind.

Monsters

What's new by the Ford government! It's all they do!

Next time ask PBethlenfalvy if he is willing to live on an ODSP amount for a week. He can still wear the fancy suit, of course. FordfailedOntario

Fuck Ont. Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalv! 🖕

That is an answer ! Hahahaha

The only thing he could afford on $1200 a month is is old man diapers that he messes in every day

Masters of never answering questions.

He couldn’t…and no one should have to.

AmitAryaMD Can you imagine being so out of touch that you don't even prepare for that question? Hubris. Audacity. Gaul.

Docs4LTCJustice keep asking!

Easier to avoid the q&a than actually answer it and place himself in the same category as his cronies! The category of LIARS comes to mind!

losinghopein His lack of response is laughable.

Of course he couldn’t. No one can!

ame_todd Of course he couldn’t and he knows that!Nobody can - many of those in politics have no idea what it’s like to live paycheque to paycheque or decide which bill not to pay or will I be able to eat today? They are out of touch with the needs & realities of the people they represent!

NaheedD He probably doesn’t know how much people get. 🤷🏻‍♀️

NaheedD Ask every Conservative MPP that question

Avis_Favaro He knows he wouldn't be able to live on that amount, and he doesn't care to hear from the people who *have to try to live on it anyway*. Ever. I voted to prevent this outcome and got outvoted.

Of course he did! There's no possible way to live on ODSP. 🤬 OnPoli FordAbomiNation FordFailedThePeople

bethechange1682 Because he couldn't. No one can.

Of course he did. He, like the others in their camp, lack the courage of their convictions. They kept it all under wraps during the campaign and will continue to surprise us with bad news.

Is it time to start hurling bricks again? How long are the cons gonna attempt to con us?

Wow people are so ungrateful. 🤦‍♂️

Scary part is for a second it ALMOST looks as though he believed his own BS. If it wasn't for that smug smirk that keeps popping through there'd be almost be no way to tell. Well that & the fact a monkey with a calculator could see having to survive on $1169 in 2022 is sickening.

then make sure you keep asking him the question until he answers the question. Do NOT give them a pass.

Useless mof. fordfailedontario dougfordisdestroyingontario NeverVoteConservative NeverVoteppc odsp odspoverty nonvotersfailedontario

Canada isn't supposed to be like this.

The neo-conservatives way. Avoiding answers is what crooks do. 'This is what (the 18% of) Ontarians voted for' is not a licence to commit crimes. They all, the entire gang should either resign or be fired.

Hey CTV, go look at the replies on PBethlenfalvy 's tweet about it. Look at the quote tweets too. There is serious outrage here. Please help those of us on ODSP, because God knows the Conservatives aren't. Please keep pushing questions on them and don't be easy about it. Plz!!

Cut all Ontario public service workers pay but nurses by 25 percent and we can increase ODSB. The public sector would still live good.

Of course he did fordnation controls the narrative .

Fair question.

Pretty much the same answer jkenney gave on the radio in Alberta. No answer. Shame on you bastads!!!

every province, it MUST be some kinda punishment or a deliberate push to MAID

Doug Ford's genocide of ontarios disabled . He knows he is killing off the most vulnerable people and continues to do so.

It's sickening how Canada treats disabled Canadians. I hope CTVNews asks Trudeau and Freeland this same question.

Disgusting. Dispicable. Disheartening. This man is deplorable. We're in debt, we're dying, and he's deflecting.

No one could, but for some reason people don't seem to understand that or care.

Ontario Finance Minister wouldn't even dare reduce or remove their $2,300 housing allowance they get ON TOP of their 6 figure salary, let alone entertain the idea of trying to live on $1,169. Greedy, inhuman flucks.

william40462161 BS

All of them should try and live on this in any province in Canada. Its torture and a slow death sentence

Ask him again. Ask him every single day.

Yeah, he said a whole lot of NOTHING!! 😤 Has NO clue to 'reality' for ODSP or low income residents of Ontario!! 😠 (Reminds me of when PC government said (back in 90's) we could all live on can of *tuna!!😡 (*Tuna has doubled in price, btw~)

He deliberately didn't answer a simple knowing that: Saying 'Yes' would have been an outright lie. Saying 'No' would have shown how diabolical he & the Premier are for recognizing this, & still not doubling ODSP rates.

thank you for doing this. Please keep pushing to get pwd more help to survive

Sometimes a non-answer is the loudest answer one could ever get. He could not live on this amount. He would be dying on this amount, like all of us disabled and chronicallyIll are dying.

he wants us to starve or take MAiD so they don't have to help anyone disabled. Doug Ford's govt is using MAiD as a cost saving program.

Pro tip = you could if the gov't didnt steal half your paycheque (just to give away to the UN no questions asked)

Please turn off or moderate your YouTube comments. Someone over there is insisting that 90% on ODSP are frauds.

He didn't answer the question. Deflection and denial seems to be the strategy.

We still have enough money to pay it...

He probably can’t survive on that in a day!
