At the Raise the Rates rally in Queen’s Park, Ontario Greens leader Mike Schreiner passionately called for an end to legislated poverty by urging the provincial government to raise social assistance rates. He condemned the current government’s policies as immoral and emphasized the need to more than double the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) rates to address the injustice faced by vulnerable populations. Schreiner’s remarks highlighted a growing demand for a government that prioritizes the wellbeing of its citizens over political interests.
