Well, because these aren't the old days where the CNIB had assistive device programs and they bought everything for you. I mean, that might be okay for a ten-year-old, but when you're 50, you're on your own. And it didn't even just start there. You might even say after you graduate school. I think when you're in your 20s, you can get things if you can declare them for school. But, you know, you're supposed to be earning something. So, after a while, there isn't no, as I say, programs like that where, yeah, that does become disabling. Where, like, okay, a Victor's Dream is like $80 million. Or even a good Orbit Braille screen is like $30,000. Yeah, I don't know. But, yeah, it ain't like those days. They used to be a lot better, a lot more generous in the older days. But, you know, since the PCs run things now, the Progressive Conservatives, forget that, miss. My parents used to say, let them eat tuna. I guess that's his way of saying let them eat cake. Yeah, I know years ago, I would have seen them here always had, like, loaner programs for tech. And that's what they'd call it, right? They'd call it a loaner program. But you'd end up with it for, like, a year or two years before you'd end up bringing it back. And when you did, it was out of date anyway. And they had something new that you could get on loan. And I guess that's how they justified it. It was just loaning, right? They weren't, you know, buying it for people or whatever. But, yeah, like, even, you know, white canes now, you've even got to buy those. I was shocked because someone stole my cane, believe it or not, years ago. And the little skeet was using it downtown, pretending to be blind, panhandling. If you can imagine that. Like, what kind of lowlife do you got to be? So I went to see what I was even doing. They were like, yeah, it's like $35 now or something for a friggin' cane.
