While we appreciate diversity, we have to seriously consider sanity of the few who think people running around with XL glow sticks is somehow superior to the ground-breaking, peril filled, 5-year mission of the USS Enterprise and it crew. “May the 4th be with you..”, whatever...

In 57 days, our friend (although a marmalade eater) Michael Prince @princepolity finishes his term as Chair of CLBC @clbc_connect . During his term, with senior management, we have seen significant steps forward in CLBC prioritizing Indigenous Peoples. Michael will be missed.

“Canada[‘s MAID/suicide] program, supposedly enabling the terminally ill to die with dignity, increasingly resembles a dystopian replacement for care services, exchanging social welfare for euthanasia.” ⁦@David_Moscrop⁩ jacobin.com/2024/05/canada…

Do you identify as First Nation? Do you live on-reserve? Do you think that your community could benefit from engaging with us?🤔 We are looking for First Nation communities who are interesting in doing an accessibility focus group!

Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples with disabilities can no longer press on, sustained by the "promise" of a better tomorrow, that promise has been used time and time again and we all know that tomorrow never comes. Today is the time for change, its the only day that matters.

Not to add gas to the flames of the Canada Disability Benefit, but the $200/month is the max amount people with the DTC will receive, the max. In reality, for many, they won’t see the $2,400 / annual level. The CDB has turned out to be more heartbreaking than ground-breaking.

With heavy hearts, we mourn Sir Robert Martin, a disability rights champion and pioneer of the self-advocacy movement. As one of the first self-advocates on our Council and the first CRPD Committee member with an intellectual disability, he raised voices for inclusion globally.

In HUMA yesterday, the gov. was asked to provide stats on who recommended $200/month and for the DTC to be used to delivery the CDB. I suspect the answers will be something like “Joe Smith from Northern BC, but he has no phone/internet or address anymore so you can't contact him”

Lot of yelling in the House today, but none from any party giving their endorsement to the gov for the full funding of the Canada Disability Benefit at maximum PBO levels. We did hear one MP say "Every tool, every resources to save lives is what we are committed to." Well.......

@shitty_ally @BCANDS1 Unfortunately the government caters to the majority. They are using this ill framed survey to justify their decision. We know if it was asked a different way there would be a different response. Vote on @InclusionCA unscientific poll to offer alternative outcome.

3 Senators had a press conference to "Fight against the Tyranny of the majority" when MAiD for mental illness was delayed, saying it violated equality rights. Same 3 Senators sit in silence in relation to the underfunding of the CDB. Apparently equality rights have their limits.

The Angus Reid Poll people are talking about says that on average, 74% of Canadians approve of the "New benefit for low-income Canadians living with disabilities (Max $2,400 per year)” Basically it was a leading question designed to solicit a positive response from Joe public.
