Another theme from the misguided is that rich people should give to charities instead of funding government run social programs. It should not be up to the privileged to decide who gets Care and who doesn’t. This is colonial BS.

Journalist source request: Working on a story today about the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit. Would love to talk to #PWD in Canada or family members about what they wanted and what they got. (Bonus if you have stories about problems with the Disability Tax Credit.) My DMs are open.…
Today’s budget announcement of $200/ month for the Canada Disability Benefit makes clear yet again how the Feds feel about disabled people. CERB was $2000/month with no questions asked but for disabled people unable to work -$200?!! And you must have the DTC? Absolute disgrace.

NO Doctor, no ER open, paying for tests...this is why. The Provinces are stealing from us (in Ontario some of it is going on a spa)

No one wants to address the question as to why someone like me, Queen of the Noodle Arms, can successfully de-escalate crisis situations without any special equipment, defence training, or body armour. Perhaps it's because de-escalation looks like a friendly face, not a soldier.
A belated and sincere THANK YOU to @kristynwongtam for meeting with @LivMendelsohn and I last week. We miss you at the City of Toronto! You are always so generous with your time and support. Grateful you continue to be a champion for disabled people. Hope to see you again soon!
A successful webinar with @R2HNetwork on human rights solutions to encampments! Thank you to everyone who joined us & the insightful panellists. Yesterday's session provided advocates nationwide with tools to push for a National Encampments Response plan based on #HumanRights.
"We're lobbying hard & saying 'enough is enough'", said #DailyBreadTO CEO @NCHetherington while discussing the unanimous support for the #Canada #Disability Benefit in a recent @angusreidorg study, in partnership with @Disability_WP: bit.ly/3Uaz82F #FundTheBenefit @CP24
The community housing sector is uniquely positioned to protect Canada's renters and affordable housing supply. We look forward to seeing non-profit, co-operative & Indigenous housing providers prioritized in the fund's administration. 2/2
Vancouver's proposed bylaw changes on temporary shelters without consulting the impacted unhoused community is concerning. A rights-based approach requires meaningful engagement with those most impacted in order to develop effective & appropriate solutions.
Advocates say Vancouver's homeless not included in conversation about park board bylaw amendments vancouversun.com/news/local-new…
