man, I'm glad I don't live there. Here in Canada I live in a Co-Op, my rent is $240 for a 3 bedroom townhouse. Disability is about $1400 per month, plus we get $1200 per month for having kids, plus $140 for heating per month.
So total:
$1400 disability
$1200 Canada Child Tax Credit
$140 Gas something payment
plus $250 GST credit every 3 months
not bad, also drug and dental plan. In the states you guys have a ME versus WE attitude, I never understood this but whatever.
Quoting: freeasabee1 How come the rent at welfare hotels in Canada is 450.00 per month while you get to live in a co-op for $240.00? That does not make sense!  not sure, its difficult to get in a co-op if you live in a major city, ie Toronto. But if you're willing to move, which is a good idea if you're on a fixed income, then it's easy. I live in a small city about 100km from Toronto, and my co-op still has a few spots. Also note, when I go to school, the rent drops to about 35 bucks a month.
