Wood, 41, couldn't afford the $1,620 per month for a basement apartment in Edmonton that he shared with his two teenage children. Not after he and his wife separated in March, and now on his CPP disability income that he says is $1,403 per month.
So Wood, who is unable to work due to PTSD after 11 years as a correctional officer in a maximum security prison, had to move back to St. Theresa Point First Nation, an Oji-Cree reserve in Northern Manitoba. His children, who are 15 and 16, stayed in Edmonton with family
Now, Wood sleeps in a makeshift shed on his father's property, because there are already eight people living in the three-bedroom house. The shed is about 180 square feet. But that's not the part that bothers him.
年纪大的人也不能搬小地方,孩子没地方住需要住父母地下室。
CBC这个故事太惨了,41岁有PTSD不能工作,还有小孩,政府给的残疾人补贴只有$1400, 啥房子都租不了,只能住父母家后院shed, 父母家已经住了8个人了。
听到这种故事,还是加拿大吗?
通胀上天,房租上天,那些残疾人靠政府给的钱,根本没地方住。
