I had a co-worker get into trouble and inquire on the social benefits available in Alberta. $749/month for a single person. If you make more than $1200 in a month, that number is zero and you are declared 'not poor anymore'. There is a sliding scale on how much you make versus the payout. Her hours were cut back to about $1000 a month, and after much paperwork was told that Alberta would chip in about 100 bones.
Stress is a killer. Unfortunately mental health is not considered covered health in Alberta, so let's just watch her suffer.
