Pierre Poilievre has to be the greatest distraction from advancing important and urgent issues in the history of Canadian politics. #cdnpoli
Question for Deputy PM @cafreeland: If the proposed Canada Disability Benefit is "just a first step," can you tell Canadians clearly the 2nd, 3rd, and so forth steps? Does your government have a plan for Benefit increases or eligibility expansion? #cdnpoli ctvnews.ca/politics/singh…
Michelle Neill will remain leader of the New Democratic Party of P.E.I. after receiving a 90 per cent approval during a leadership review held at the party’s annual general meeting on April 27. #peipoli Read more ⬇️ ow.ly/W0gZ50RssOs
Still hoping for help. Got my disability but I have nothing left after rent and bank charges and 2 bills. I have one bill coming due on May 9th for $183 and everything listed in the post below. If you're able to help, Thank you 🫂

The video is up from @JannArdenPod's interview with me, time code: 39.15. I was hesitant to share this, as I felt disheveled and exhausted and you can see it in my face, but I was reminded this is the truth and reality of our situation. Youtube Link: youtu.be/qtOX8As2FO8?si……
The $200 maximum monthly amount for the Canada Disability Benefit likely came from Finance/Prime Minister Office. Certainly not from disability communities across the country.

Dear @theJagmeetSingh, It’s your job to get Canadians with disabilities a much better deal. The NDP were elected for moments like these. The disability community needs representation that gets results and answers. Don’t let the Liberals off the hook. #CanadaDisabilityBenefit
“Singh said Monday that after speaking to Trudeau, "some progress" was made and "some commitments were provided" on his sticking points, but there are still "some outstanding questions before we make our final determination on the budget." #CanadaDisabilityBenefit

Singh still not ready to say if NDP will back budget, holding out for 'clarity' on disability benefit ctvnews.ca/politics/singh…
$200/mth to the disability community is not "giving everyone a fair shot" and you know it #cdnpoli
@JustinTrudeau Have you increased the $ in the Canadian Disability Benefit to bring disabled Canadians above the poverty line? The current CDB is insulting to the disabled. This support received unanimous support in Parliament and by the majority of Canadians. In its current form- a failure.
How are you voting, @theJagmeetSingh?
A new report finds that taking a cost-reduction approach, the Canada Disability Benefit should be providing roughly $7200 a year to recipients, rather than the budgeted $2400 maximum #cdnpoli #bcpoli csagroup.org/article/public…
“…in their anticipation of that storm, the most important thing in their view for the government is to weather it. In other words, they expect to get away with what they have done by noting that the legislation and the initial design both mark important first steps to build on.”

I took the time today to carefully read this article. I hope you will, too. Powerfully written and incredibly researched, lived experience is brought to light which disrupts taken-for-granted assumptions about #MAID, disability, ableism, and medical power. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
Why does it even matter if a polled segment of the public does in fact *feel* the proposed Canada Disability Benefit is enough? It is objectively #NotEnough, based on evidence provided over many years by many experts, advocates, and people with lived experience. #cdnpoli

@losinghopein @mattjohnstonca Exactly. I would vote JT back in a heartbeat if he just kept his promise to actually lift PWD out of poverty! And, not just the few who qualify for the DTC. All PWD on prov. assistance should automatically qualify for the CDB. It should be enough to make a difference, too!

@mattjohnstonca @cafreeland They need to stop with this "first step" bs, that's not how it was ever presented, this was to be it, a big historic change to lift #PWD out of poverty.

Question for Deputy PM @cafreeland: If the proposed Canada Disability Benefit is "just a first step," can you tell Canadians clearly the 2nd, 3rd, and so forth steps? Does your government have a plan for Benefit increases or eligibility expansion? #cdnpoli ctvnews.ca/politics/singh…
@FRBpapajok @mattjohnstonca @theJagmeetSingh Educate yourself. x.com/princepolity/s…
That the federal government is not innocent in the income insecurity of people with disabilities: a quick history
The $200 maximum monthly amount for the Canada Disability Benefit likely came from Finance/Prime Minister Office. Certainly not from disability communities across the country.
@KamalKheraLib @TracyGrayKLC @BonitaZarrillo @mferreriptbokaw There is nothing in what is being proposed that actually came from the disability community. I’d like for the Minster to table a list of people and organizations that requested a benefit of $200/month, access only through the DTC, and not until July 2025” - @morricemike at #HUMA
Thank the stars, slept 7 hours last night after two weeks of 3 hours or less. Melatonin wasn't working anymore, so I got diphenhydramine hydrochloride. My psychosis, anxiety and irrational thoughts go overdrive when I don't sleep and after 2 years fighting for the Canada…
Far too many Conservatives & their supporters show disdain, anger & outright ambivalence towards the disabled community & those fighting for their basic human rights & the ability to live without poverty. @mattjohnstonca #cdnpoli #onpoli #peipoli
@mattjohnstonca @theJagmeetSingh Disability benefits is a provincial responsibility ! Now this government adds in $200 a month , that wasn’t done by any previous federal government … and we get nothing but negative complaining . smh
Dear @theJagmeetSingh, It’s your job to get Canadians with disabilities a much better deal. The NDP were elected for moments like these. The disability community needs representation that gets results and answers. Don’t let the Liberals off the hook. #CanadaDisabilityBenefit
$200/mth to the disability community is not "giving everyone a fair shot" and you know it #cdnpoli
@JustinTrudeau Have you increased the $ in the Canadian Disability Benefit to bring disabled Canadians above the poverty line? The current CDB is insulting to the disabled. This support received unanimous support in Parliament and by the majority of Canadians. In its current form- a failure.
How are you voting, @theJagmeetSingh?
@mattjohnstonca It is an incredibly well dissected article.
“…in their anticipation of that storm, the most important thing in their view for the government is to weather it. In other words, they expect to get away with what they have done by noting that the legislation and the initial design both mark important first steps to build on.”

I took the time today to carefully read this article. I hope you will, too. Powerfully written and incredibly researched, lived experience is brought to light which disrupts taken-for-granted assumptions about #MAID, disability, ableism, and medical power. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
Does the 74% who agree that this amount is enough all have disabilities? Don't think so
Why does it even matter if a polled segment of the public does in fact *feel* the proposed Canada Disability Benefit is enough? It is objectively #NotEnough, based on evidence provided over many years by many experts, advocates, and people with lived experience. #cdnpoli
@mattjohnstonca Maybe not, but it's important to call it out for what it is, because the government will be using it to sell their budget and the CDB.
