If you're on #OntarioWorks (and calling non-white people "welfare bums"), do you have to declare gifts when you've grifted a train/plane ticket?

After remaining frozen for 8 years, stagnant #OntarioWorks rates are keeping Ontarians in poverty. Indexing Ontario Works to inflation would help the poorest members of our communities immediately.
