Smith is indeed already stealing $200/month from me, leaving me to have to go entire days without a meal at all, not just skipping a meal out of a day here and there.

Smith and her criminal regime are shameless.

Thousands of Albertans With Disabilities Are Losing $200 a Month. Here's Why People Are Protesting at the Legislature. | Culture Alberta

The UCP is replacing AISH with a new program called ADAP starting July 1. Critics say it cuts benefits, strips appeal rights, and claws back a federal disability payment that every other province has left alone.

Just a quick check-in to let friends here know I'm okay.

… lots to deal with lately and insufficient energy to attend to all in a sufficiently-timely manner. 😐

Doubtless more chaos to come with whatever the heck is *actually* about to happen with #AISH so may be intermittent as to when I can participate much here. 😬🤔

Appreciate our discussions and community happenings etc as always. ❤️

Apologies for digressing somewhat into the weeds: the point is that all of this figuring-stuff-out on an #AISH (provincial #disability pension) that has not risen since 2016, is expensive, time- and (personal)energy-intensive AND are all genuinely monumental accomplishments given my disabilities and lack of functionality in extreme heat.

My #mitigations don't even necessarily make things comfortable, they just make it less-likely I'll die from preventable consquences of #ExtremeHeat.

And this point is important, because I HAVE been successful in not-dying (yay! 🙂), but the mitigations are NOT SUFFICIENT for me to live a 'normal life' (my normal, under my normal range of restrictions/challenges) during the #FireSeason and #HeatSeason.

IOW, not a lot of extras get done during these extended periods.

BTC sube (+3.27%) con FR positivo (+0.0100%), indicando optimismo apalancado. El OI total de $18.48B sugiere alta liquidez y posicionamiento. ETH (+9.75%) lidera el alza, mostrando un posible desacople temporal. ¡Cautela ante la volatilidad! 📈 Funding positivo, pero Extreme Fear persiste. 😨 #AISh…

Advocates push back on Danielle Smith's comment that people are moving to Alberta for social programs
The premier said her government wants to ensure programs like Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped, or AISH, aren't "overly generous," and that she's heard people have moved to Alberta just to take advantage of its social programs. Some disability advocates want the data that backs this up.

This homeless man is far more knowledgeable on current affairs than most! Goes to show we should not judge a book by its cover. #AISH funding is being clawed back by #DanielleSmith and the #Alberta government. Some say "I can't imagine how an "independent Alberta" would treat the disabled." I can.

Uh, there's about a $35 to $40 increase in my #Aish amount deposited into my account this morning. I thought I read somewhere that we weren't getting indexed an increase this year, I'm not complaining I'm just surprised! Even when I talked to my Aish worker in Nov they didn't know if we were getting 1!
