RE: https://mastodon.social/@livewirecalgary/116687369936451989We are stuck in a cycle of "social disorder occurs at a location -> funding is allocated to chase the social disorder away -> social disorder moves to another location - > funding is allocated to chase the social disorder away -> social disorder moves back to previous location"Until we start having actual conversations about the root causes of homelessness and substance abuse, and actually allocate resources to address those root causes rather than to just chase the people affected away, the cycle will continue#yyc #abPoli #cdnPoli #homelessness

Soooooooooooo … after receiving "the letter" from #AISH this week, I'm curious: Anyone out there know if ANY #ActuallyDisabled Albertans are still actually disabled according to the #UCP ?… Because any actual file review should NOT have determined I would somehow magically be fit for routine employment. (Lots of knowledge/education/skills sure, but close to ZERO predictability day-to-day re capacity beyond basic activities of remaining alive ).#ADAP does not look useful to me whatsoever, just even less funding than the woefully-inadequate AISH.… but I suppose it's "nice" to know exactly how much the #abgov "values" its #disabled citizens? #ableg#yeg#yyc#ymm#yqu#yqf
