I am a growing libertarian, but i am also a growing libertarian with a disability i was born with. both a learning disability and more than a few physical disabilitys and an earing impairment. i live on the ontario disability support program. I can't get a job, i've tried for more than 10 years, so i try to use my passion for advocacy and art work to make a difference. And make money through self publish books, and social media. so i feel like a hippocrite as a growing libertarian advocating for either slowing down the minimum wage increase, which increasing it will not help us, it will hurt us. or if they're not going to do that they need to increase the funding i use, they need to increase the funding i use as well as parents with disabilities, through ontario developmental services. this program honestly has given me a purpose in life, given me the ability to pay for a team mate to help me to the work i do. if minimum wage was going to be increased, in good consciouse i cannot pay my team mate less than minimum wage. and so let me explain the best i can the way it works. i pay into it, then the government reinburses me for the invoices i send it. but you get one lumpsom for the year, and you have to make it last the whole fiscal year. but if you got to pay 15 dollars an hour eventually, and the funding is not being increased, then its going to make me run out of money faster. now don't get me wrong as a libertarian, if i had a stronger social media prescence or maybe if i was known, i wouldn't care. but im not there yet. just as i felt i was beginning to breathe, and be comfortable with the funding, now the government wants to raise minimum wage. that is killing my dream and the ability to have people with disabilities busy. as well as children with disabilities. yes the government gives us money to pay bills, but not to kepe busy and go out with a friend to the movies, or to pay for our dreams to get there and get off odsp. if any libertarian party is going to be elected, we at least need to look at helping people with disability to keep themselves busy and find their dream and maybe go from using their check 100% to 50 or maybe 25%. and if you're a person with a disability im not saying dont vote because the government doesn't care, im saying vote with your consience, call your local MP's, call the government, and make sure you're heard from.
