| It is so easy to become overwhelmed with information on the internet, some is great but some can be mind cluttering. I am attempting to provide a list of links that contain information of importance to ODSP recipients. As this list grows it will be grouped but please bear with me for now. If you find a website that contains great - easily accessed - information for other ODSP recipients to share please forward it and I will check it for inclusion here. Suggest A Site |

Summary of Violations of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Here is a web site that is committed to restoring common sense, balance and civility to the way Canada's adult smokers are treated by their federal, provincial and municipal politcians. NOTE: I am not really condoning smoking but many ODSP recipients are trapped by tobacco and currently are just not able to quit. I firmly believe that there is a direct connection between depression and smoking that makes quitting much tougher. Certtanly if one was not depressed before receiving ODSP support they are bound to have bouts of depression just trying to cope with ODSP rules and regulations.
