'Canada has made disabled people a killable class, and hardly anyone has considered the impact this would have on us. This country must maintain MAiD-free health-care spaces.'
This is a powerful must-read from @mssinenomine on #MAiD and #disability.

2019: "Trudeau promised to ensure proper supports are in place for palliative care & people with disabilities, so no one chooses to end their life because they can't get the help they need."
They expand MAiD in 2021.
$200 mo in 2025 still leaves people FAR below the poverty line.

The Canada Disability Benefit announcement is absolutely insulting & perpetuates deep legislated poverty for disabled Canadians.
This liberal government has so many preventable deaths on their hands.

Dear god, this story.
Any state/society that tacitly uses MAID as a "pressure release valve" is eugenicist. Canadians pretend MAID is about "choice," but in reality, its a way to coerce disabled people to die instead of deal with more structural apathy, ableism, and negligence.

Clear to see how disabled Canadians have been legislated into poverty with this infographic.
Note, that the higher costs of living with disabilities (crip tax) is not illustrated

Ableism is so entrenched and systemic, that some are even trying to justify this too...
Cause and effect are "separate issues", "don’t correct one injustice, poor care (by state) with another injustice, denying (state paid murder to alleviate problems caused by poor care)"...
As much as MAiD is a choice, we shouldn't forget that ppl are making a choice to kill a person after there's been a choice to neglect them.
Choice is being fuelled by ableism the moment a disabled person calls themselves a burden.
I will not cheer that on.

I exist in the severe to very severe housebound, seated but not in bed (because no-one would want to be in my bed) realm, with occasional ability to do some gardening if the air quality has been good for a couple of days... Ordinary air pollution REALLY affects my energy levels.

Sometimes living as a disabled person in this society feels like I'm living in a psychology experiment I did not consent to - to see how much deliberate exclusion, deprivation, isolation and Intentional non-consensual risk and harm you can be exposed to before you break.
