Inclusion Canada welcomes several measures in the 2026 Federal budget that will help people with disabilities and their families manage rising living costs. However, we are disappointed that the budget fails to deliver meaningful improvements to the Canada Disability Benefit and other critical supports needed to reduce disability poverty.

We joined more than 150 community organizations across the country calling for disability benefit access reform in Canada.
The fix isn't only administrative. Canada needs an eligibility system that is accessible, rights-based, and co-designed with people with disabilities.

We were delighted to have MP @lesliechurch provide remarks at the breakfast hosted by Senator @CPetitclerc last week.

We will continue to push for a CDB that truly lifts disabled folks out of poverty.

We are deeply disappointed that today's Budget 2026 contains no new measures for disabled people living in poverty.

1 in 8 kids in Toronto now rely on a food bank, nearly double the rate in 2022. #Budget2026 takes some steps forward, like investments in non-market housing, but families can't wait years for new homes to be built. They need relief now. Read our response 👉dailybread.ca/blog/budget-20…
After paying for housing, the median food bank client has $8.33 left per day for food, transport & everything else, according to #WhosHungry2026, an annual profile of hunger and poverty in Toronto.

Many policy actions are called for in areas like school food programs, disability services, and affordable, secure housing.
Keep in mind the Toronto police budget for 2026 is $1.4 billion. The city has money. It is shameful how little we prioritize basic health and social services for our communities. This must change. @oliviachow.

It's no surprise that more than a third of food bank users are also on social assistance. OW rates have stagnated for years & ODSP remained frozen during much of the pandemic-era inflation crisis. Recipients have repeatedly said they cannot afford food at the rates they receive.
BREAKING: For the second year in a row, #Toronto recorded a historic 4.1M food bank visits, a 333% increase over 2019 and enough to fill the Rogers Centre 75x. @DailyBreadTO's new #WhosHungry2026 report reveals why hunger is becoming harder to escape ➡️ dailybread.ca/whoshungry RT

'In one day, everything can change'
More than one in eight children living in Toronto rely on food banks, which is nearly double the rate from 2022, when one in 15 children relied on them.

Thank you @DailyBreadTO "1 in 4 food bank clients spend 100% of their income on housing". We must tackle the housing crisis to tackle the hunger crisis!

Please support your local food bank if you can.
And to the current elected folks with actual decision-making powers you MUST act on GUARANTEED BASIC INCOME & public grocery stores as part of the necessary response?
We must END these grocery monopolies!
Thank you! #topoli #onpoli #canpoli
