Episode Details

Nova Scotia just rewrote the rules for income assistance — now you need a home with running water and sewer to qualify for higher payments, sparking outrage and debate after a court ruled a tent counts as accommodation. The change, triggered by Bradley Lowe’s tragic case, narrows eligibility to rented, owned, or approved lodging spaces — leaving tents, cars, and campers out. Officials say it’s about clarity, not cutting aid, but critics fear it pushes vulnerable people deeper into poverty as legal teams scramble to assess how this affects disability claims and homelessness support.
