## Resource

Alberta’s disability support system is undergoing a major overhaul starting July 1, shifting some AISH recipients to the new ADAP program designed to better match support to ability — with ADAP offering a lower max payment and encouraging work up to $45K annually. While the government insists this isn’t about cutting people off but tailoring help, the change has sparked fear and despair among recipients, with Premier Smith acknowledging the pain but defending the human-centered approach. Critics, including former mayor Naheed Nenshi, say the transition is causing needless anxiety and eroding dignity — all as public trust in the Premier dips.
