Summary
Alberta’s government is rushing through a major shift in disability support, moving nearly 80,000 people from AISH to the new ADAP system on July 1—with some facing up to $200 monthly cuts. Critics, especially the NDP, call it cruel and unnecessary, warning it will destabilize vulnerable lives. Meanwhile, city councils in Edmonton and Calgary are urging a pause, as recipients scramble with fear over their financial future. The government insists ADAP will boost workforce participation, but the debate rages as the deadline looms. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
