Up until July, Stewart was getting $686 on social assistance. Then he was evicted from his Windmill Road apartment in Dartmouth after it was condemned. That meant he lost the government shelter allowance and his cheque was almost cut in half. Vince Calderhead, a human rights lawyer in Halifax, called the province’s attempt to go back on its public commitment to pay all social assistance recipients “really shocking.” - Ryan Taplin - SaltWire Network
