I live in a low income area. It's rural. It's one of the poorest places in the country. Lots of people are trying. They may not be able to go all in but they're trying.

I started with my rural hometown and surrounding areas for now. I keep my fishing spots secret though.

It's delicious too. Add some to your salads just don't go nuts or you may poop yourself.

Ok. Local Advertising and selling platforms that are competitively priced for local farms to sell their goods and gain customers without the expenses of travel and market fees.

Small farms.

Nova Scotia as an example. We do not have large farms like central and western Canada. Most are small family run operations. For the past 8 years Nova Scotia farms have been in the red. They're closing at unprecedented rates and locally grown food is becoming harder and harder to find. An entire province that may soon not have any ability to produce food.

No farms. No food.

A vast variety of produce can be found in Canada. Search out small local farms. They're disappearing at crazy rates here in Nova Scotia including ours. They could use your help and in return you will get fresh local seasonal fresh food.

We still grow all our own food homestead style and grow everything from greens to peas and beans, potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes, cukes ,melons, squash and even fruit and nuts like figs peaches, plums apples cherries, hazelnuts, walnuts. We just planted an almond tree this year. We have so much I don't know if I could list it all.

We also forage mushrooms, berries and plants and sometimes sell bits of extra we may have.

A lot is possible.if you support local.

Just a few years ago in Nova Scotia we had a mass shooting where the shooter disguised himself as an RCMP officer. Loads and loads of problems during that incident were caused by the RCMP and not the gunman likely because they couldn't work out wether they should hide what was going on to protect their own or actually try and stop the incident. ACAB all day after all.

Nothing changed and now...let's offer up more power to a corrupt organization that was established as a genocide machine and currently is racist, misogynistic, sexist and authoritarian as the true level of the law.

I was confused as it costs nothing but "enormous amounts of time" and back and forth with doctors to apply.

With the right doctors. This is a key point.

Doctors who can see your disability and how it affects you and speak to that. Generally that is specialists in your illness or disability. Specialists we are seriously lacking in this country and who are difficult to see at the best of times even as their patient. Wait Times are months and even sometimes years in parts of the country to see a specialist in certain feilds.

There are so many problems with this system and unless people are directly affected they have no idea or enough space in their overloaded day to care.
