LONDON - Jay Dixon spent two months this winter living in her cold London
apartment. She couldn't afford to pay her gas bill. So she spent February and
March with hot water bottles covering her body, sleeping under eight blankets
with a ski mask on, constantly worrying that her pipes would freeze before she
did. Like thousands of Ontarians who can't work because of medical or physical
disabilities, Dixon has lived on $11,160 a year (before taxes) for 11 years.
