S4 Ep. 25 Provincial disability support is predetermined failure

About this episode

Brent Frain discusses the challenges of provincial disability policy in BC.

On this episode of PWD Allies podcast, Brent Frain is back for another rant & rave about provincial disability policy that doesn't make sense. Here in BC, PWD Income Assistance is barrier-filled and gated with crisis support supplements or extra dietary cash supplements almost impossible to access. The provincial government solution? Throw a jar full of pink unicorns at the problem. PWD Allies podcast airs every week on YouTube, hosted by Brent Frain. This episode livestreamed via YouTube on April 10, 2026.
