There's also employment insurance from the government, disability insurance, etc... I grew up knowing someone who's been legitimately disabled for 20 years. She owns a house and gets on fine, not rich by any means, but lives a decent quality of life, without any family to speak of. Our social net isn't ideal, but its much better than most Canadians think (I know its a Canadian quality to be critical of ourselves)...
