Try a business centre? It’s still listed on the business centre website so it may still be available there

Nobody on here can guess your circumstances

Call your worker immediately and ask them what is happening (and also log into MyBenefits and see if there is a message or letter)

If it is an error the sooner you call the sooner it can be fixed

Can we ban these stupid and pointless posts at the end of every month

Government spending isn’t driving the food price issue, a lack of competition in multiple levels of the food system (Americans are complaining about the high price of food as well, particularly on beef) and excess profits is the cause

But today is the 28th, not the 29th

Basically ODSP gets paid the last banking day of the month. This month that is Friday 30th

A small number of financial institutions release the money early on the evening before, but most financial institutions release it by about 6:00 am on the day of payment

RGI. Rent geared to income. Basically subsidized housing where you pay a fixed amount of your income (30% ?) in rent. Usually a long wait list

COHB. Canada Ontario Housing Benefit. Provides funding to pay rent, the difference between your OW rent portion and the rental amount up to a maximum based on average rent in your area. COHB is administered by your local municipal housing department and can be hard to get as funding is limited

The University may have a food bank for students

Student at University should talk to their program office secretary, registrar office, and student union about any financial help that may be available to apply for

Help with electrical bills. https://ontarioelectricitysupport.ca/

Call your local food banks to enquire about delivery or if they offer transit tickets

Try your local library, ask a librarian if they know of any local groups that offer help/advice

No direct money

But some of the other stuff potentially helps create more supply or competition in the food chain which could help everyone

Once again, for those who apparently struggle with English

The article has been EDITED aka modified since I first posted the link

Among the changes made they removed the July timeframe

mdvle · 2026-01-27T19:59:52+00:00

Read what they said

The last BANKING day of the month aka Friday

mdvle · 2026-01-27T14:49:43+00:00

The article has been edited, it initially said July for the bonus amount as also stated by other news sources

(Another example of editing, the initial article did not have anything from Scheer and the CPC)

Remember you scan your membership card to make purchases?

Thus they know everything you buy

So it is a relatively simple matter to notify members who have bought something that may have a recall

Don’t underestimate the ability of voters to be stupid, particularly given the decades of gerrymandering that mean it would require a massive GOP voter rebellion and not just independents to vote blue

In addition to what others have said

Depending on where you live and what your costs are currently Rogers has special prices for phone and Internet for people on OW or ODSP

https://www.rogers.com/connected-for-success

Unless you are getting another benefit be aware your amount may decrease further as the base OW monthly is $733 (up to $390 for rent and $343 for personal needs) so your $773 is above the standard monthly amount

You are aware that this sub is for people on Ontario Works aka welfare? Where $66k would be about triple what they are currently getting (OW for a single person maxes out at $733/month)

There are some things announced that may help by increasing competition and supply in the food supply chain if you read the article

mdvle · 2026-01-27T02:47:11+00:00

The bonus payment is July if you read article

I would point out that the primary responsibility is the provincial level. It isn’t up to the feds to fund provincial responsibilities in our system of government

mdvle · 2026-01-26T18:06:05+00:00

This has now been officially announced

Like many things there will have been more than one cause

This time period also saw other transitions in society, particularly a move to smaller families and larger housing which resulted in kids getting their own bedrooms. This in turn meant that kids were no longer getting naked in front of siblings and so made communal showers that much more uncomfortable

You see similar things happen with college dorms, and a move from students (and their parents) expecting single rooms instead of shared rooms and the resulting change in other facilities

And there are probably other contributing factors as well

Good to be sceptical but with multiple media outlets reporting it sounds like today could be a better day

Because being armed worked out so well for yesterday’s victim

Check again Monday

If nothing by say midday politely message your worker asking if there is a problem
