“Ford Conservative Government's Rebrand Tries to Hide Its Education Cuts - goo.gl/alerts/2jH9G1 #GoogleAlerts
Day of Mourning. A day to remember those that gave their all. A day to remember that work can and is dangerous. A day to realize that employers will do the minimum to protect workers. A day to remember government is not your friend. @OFL @PhoenixRizin09 @fightthewcb @TedEBare069
A big thank you to our guest this week, disability advocate @ODSPoor, who helped us understand some huge #MAID misconceptions and walked us through last week's disability tax credit budget announcement. youtu.be/qtOX8As2FO8?t=… @jannarden @caitiegreen @BurkeTalks
@PanickedFoodie @Bradgolf1216 I’ve said this so many times but I think it’s important to keep saying: disabled and sick are two different things. Not every disabled person is sick and miserable, lots are healthy. Being disabled by severe sickness and pain is a whole different thing.
80% of educators support having a minister of education that has at least been a teacher, believes in public education, clean air, ensure safety in the workplace, will talk to public educators, provide more supply staff and create smaller class sizes. Start there.

@HubertVan My friends perform this! Perfect lyric! Question is, will they cut off their own nose to spite their face? 27% of the population want to know! In fact ALL Canadians should be very concerned with how they treat the #PWD Community! We are all but a moment away from disability!

"I asked one of the visiting nurses if there wasn’t anyone anywhere who would put some effort into trying to prolong my life." Imagine having to ask a health care professional that question. Now apply that question to MAiD, the Canada Disability Benefit, accessibility, policies…

We need more media to take this up and clearly show how we need AID before MAID.

You've stated your desire to see the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit be "Fully Funded" @JulieDzerowicz.. You signed the LPC MP Letter to the PM. Your work on this must not be over. $200 monthly cannot stand. We need 16 LPC / NDP MPs to fight for what's right. Be one of the 16. 1/
Yep
Bullying through intimidation. ??
@HubertVan we could say "this is just the temporary measure, they'll still be working on it for july2025" We'd get at least SOMETHING we demanded, support in the NOW! But it was an all around betrayal. complete and utter bullshit
Relying on the Disability Tax Credit to determine eligibility for the Canada Disability Benefit will result in a ‘disturbing segmentation’ of the included and excluded among low-income people with disabilities
If a person in a room is wearing a mask, it’s either because they don’t want to spread their illness, or they are worried about receiving an illness. Either way, that needs to be respected.

Chronic pain from 'strains and sprains' can devastate lives, leaving injured workers unable to support themselves or their families. Let's raise awareness about the real impact of workplace injuries and advocate for better support systems. #WorkersComp #ChronicPain #wsib #wcb
Just like my ex, it was relationship first, disabilities second. He always told me how I wasn’t putting in my “50% of the partnership”. Well, DUH. I can’t think, wake up, move or feel my body except for all the stinging, burning, aching and pounding, not to mention I’m terrified…
Assuming someone isn't in pain because they sneezed normally is unfair. Let's advocate for a system that considers all evidence and treats every claim with care. #WorkersComp #InjuredWorkers #FairTreatment #wsib #wcb
finding myself feeling very anxious tonight. For reasons I won't go into hope everyone else is having a better night
@Crazy_4_Tea @HubertVan They probably asked themselves what was another way to postpone the benefit, and this was it, to force us through years of a court case previous to getting to the poverty line (and not the so-called "legislative poverty line").

"The proposed Canada Disability Benefit is paltry and will not come close to meeting the articulated needs of Persons with Disabilities." Read our reaction to the 2024 Federal Budget: ow.ly/IAO050Rk9rL
Understood. Their support was in place and reneged... just like their #CDB promises. The federal government is not "innocent". #PovertyReductionStolen #CanadaDisabilityBenefitFraud #Resign @KamalKheraLib #NoConfidence #WeAreDying #PWDS #KamalsNotMyMinisterByDesign #PriceIsRight
That the federal government is not innocent in the income insecurity of people with disabilities: a quick history
They are the injured party, but in different way. Good on you.
@ReeshBeMe Thank you for saying so 💜. It’s hard because they’re acting like the injured party and I just don’t want to see them… so I have to remind myself that I was willing and they made the choice to exclude ME.
@HubertVan that's what makes this betrayal so much worse. It's NOT just that its only 200/mo. Its not just that its locked behind the DTC. its that it is STILL 16months away. If ppl started receiving 200/mo as a stopgap until regs are finished, it'd be easier to swallow
@princepolity @PnPCBC Kamal's repeated talking points really harm #peoplewithdisabilities. Her empty responses to the questions and time wasting are reflective of #Liberals talk a lot, do nothing and get nowhere approach to leadership. Why aren't #pwds in prior 'line items'? We're robbed repeatedly.
