One more thing on @KamalKheraLib at #HUMA - the talking point re: P/Ts is ridiculous in a world where CPP-D exists, *also* keeping #PWDs in poverty. Something about cleaning up one's own home before commenting on another. 336K ppl receive #CPPD (@JenniferRobson8, @LindsayTedds).
I'm not live-tweeting it, but I am saying that @KamalKheraLib at #HUMA needs to understand that #C22 doesn't *require* her to take 2 years to complete the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit build. It sure isn't a timeline/plan, it's there to make sure govt puts CDB in place w/i 2 yrs.🤦♀️
I just signed the petition calling out @JustinTrudeau and @cafreeland for trying to give people with disabilities in poverty just $200/month. Join me and let's raise it to $1000. #CDB #cdnpoli act.leadnow.ca/CDB-1000/?sour…

"This budget doesn't begin to fulfill the government's promise to lift people with disabilities out of poverty - let alone the promise of Canada - fair shot at a prosperous future." -Len Baker, March of Dimes Canada President and CEO #CDBActionNow #WeAreThe27Percent
This is so important - get aaalllll the benefits you’re eligible for! #DisabilityTaxCredit does NOT require you to have employment income, #DTC does 2 things - gives a tax credit for those with taxable income *and* is a gateway to #RDSP, and now, the #CDB. #BenefitUptake

Today, we found out that this is not set in stone as previously thought/reported - issue is to be hashed out in regulations. @BCANDS1 and @mssingabout spoke directly to feds. #CanadaDisabilityBenefit

For. Real. These were the key asks from the legislative process and outcomes from numerous reports/consults, including the govt’s own. Is it just too hard for govt to break down their own barriers to equity? #cdnpoli #Budget2024 @cafreeland @KamalKheraLib

Lift disabled people out of poverty 👎🏻 Additional cost of disability 👎🏻 Don’t use DTC 👎🏻 Individualize the benefit 👎🏻 What exactly did you hear disabled people say they needed the CDB to be, @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland @KamalKheraLib ?
I’m interested in what ParlSec @SameerZuberi said on @CBCTheHouse this weekend - #CanadaDisabilityBenefit as the “biggest funded item” in #Budget2024. I mean, housing, defence, CHT & CST, AI all bigger. Explanation needed. Thanks for quoting @marchofdimescda, @cath_cullen!

Get yourself down to a @HotDocs screening (@TIFF_NET Lightbox) to see the incredible and hilarious doc @TheRideAhead. Great job Samuel and @_danhabib! @CdnCaregiving
Don’t miss #TheRideAhead @HotDocs in #Toronto! Brilliant film by Samuel Habib and @_danhabib on disability justice and journey to a full and meaningful disabled adulthood. Showing again April 30. @Netflix_CA pick this up! @CdnCaregiving
Rather than endless complaints about compensation @CMA_Docs, we should talk about how provinces use the $12 billion in windfall revenue from capital gains. It’s free $. Provs should be pushed to put 50% of that into health care. And move to good salary for docs, nurses and PSWs
Over the next 4 to 6 weeks, Team @abacusdataca will be focused on all things health, wellness, and healthcare. This week we released some new data on how Canadians feel about healthcare in Canada. In the same survey, we asked whether people had access to a family doctor. 1 in…
I am going to take a minute to call out local media like @PnPCBC , @breakfasttv , @globeandmail , @nationalpost and @CTVToronto for highlighting the injustice of the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit . I can’t speak for all Disabled Canadians, but I appreciate it! 😃
We're thrilled to attend @HotDocsCinema April 30 screening of "The Ride Ahead." It stars Samuel Habib, a 21-year-old itching to move out, start a career, date, find love-and his road trip interviewing disabled disability activists who’ve taken that ableist journey! #TheRideAhead
#TheRideAhead is hitting the road! Get ready for our world and bi-coastal premieres at @HotDocs in Toronto on April 28 and 30, at @IFFBoston on May 5, and at @SIFFnews in Seattle on May 11 and 14! Tickets for all screenings are available at rideaheadfilm.com/screenings
