Let me write 4,555 words about C7 MAID and disability @globeandmail I want space to write 4,555 words. Listen, you literally don't even have to pay me. Just give me that kind of space.
Right now I imagine those law makers in support of Bill C-7 are cautiously congratulating themselves, reassuring each other they did the right thing while saying, "Its not perfect but any problems can be fixed in the future." I'm no expert, but last I heard, you can't fix dead.
"The HoC has already spoken on Bill C-7 we've already decided on what we want to do...this is not the time and place to go over old arguments that were already dealt with by the house" Oh, sorry. How did we land on eliminating poverty, homelessness and access to services for PWD?
A very fine tutorial on "Colonial Governance 101" from @sarahjama – featuring #BillC7 as a case study. Great thread Sarah! #KillBillC7
I've been trying to figure out why so many people active in anti-oppression struggles don't want to get involved in the debate around C-7. What I hear is "I want the choice to die if I become disabled" @DrHeid @ProfTimSUBC @CatherineFrazee @theJagmeetSingh @PattyHajdu

"We've allowed a medicalized idea of suffering to persist… by omitting the social contexts of suffering while erasing the historical ones, and turning our gaze away from the systemic racism and discrimination we know is pervasive" ipolitics.ca/2021/02/19/exp… via @iPoliticsCA
To all the Senators and vocal supporters of #BillC7, we ask you to #CheckYourPrivilege and remember the voices of the most marginalized amongst our community who will be most effected if this bill is passed. #KillBillC7
'Bill C-7 sets apart people w disabilities and disabling conditions as the only Canadians to be offered assistance in dying when they are not actually nearing death' @CatherineFrazee @TrudoLemmens @picardonhealth @NightShiftMD @NaheedD @francocarneval3 hollandbloorview.ca/stories-news-e…
A powerful rebuke.
@CatherineFrazee People forget (or don't know about) Cda's eugenic past. It wasn't that long ago and there are people who still hold those views. Unfortunately, it seems some of those folks are in gov't.
@LaurieJLarson @CatherineFrazee Mclarens book is excellent and still relevant. University college London just voted to remove Galton and Pearson’s (Galtons partner) names from 3 bldgs- maybe the senate or HOC can get a good deal on some used statues
A clever twist on the DWD campaign!
My goodness @JustinTrudeau @MinJusticeEn @PattyHajdu @CQualtro @theJagmeetSingh Do you have a comment for @washingtonpost? It appears treatment of disabled citizens may tarnish your global reputation as second-generation architect of a “Just Society”. #KillBillC7 #cdnpoli

From my letter to MPs: "It is not possible to imagine that assisted suicide enabled by Bill C7 will be the one and only health care practice that somehow escapes systemic inequity in its implementation."

2/2 so when we are reassured MAID. Will be carefully tracked and regulated it is hollow rhetoric to con cdns into thinking everything is ok. We have a pathetic record in tracking pwd health outcomes generally - how will that change with MAID - this will indeed be a quiet eugenics
My point is the NDP voted in favour of a bill and they, like most of Canada, don't even understand the implications of the bill or what it means to be disabled. They assumed chronic illness is something 'different.' This is the harmful legacy of hierarchy, of ableism...
Disabled people are familiar with grief. With injustice. Where we normally grieve individually, isolated and alone, today we grieve as a community collectively together. Our tears will water the future. Our rage will upend and burn ableism to the ground. We will emerge.

To me, coming to terms with death is not about ‘conquering it’ or putting it into my calendar to make me it’s consumer and giving me consumer choice, it’s about acknowledging the limitations of my control and embracing my humanness.
People fear vulnerability bc we have made vulnerability a negative quality. But denying vulnerability denies our humanity. Everyone is vulnerable. Everyone dies. We need to fight for the right to live. Death doesn't need a lobbyist.
Because what really drives support for MAID is not logic or triumph of rationality over emotion (as if that is desirable), but a fear of disability, a fear of poverty, a fear of needing help - bc needing help is not safe in our society. And a fear of not being 'better'/superior.
Manifest lots of good energy for me. The next few weeks will be the hardest of my life.* * Last 5 Tweets dictated by Alice
If your fight for autonomy pertains only to the people in society who have had the *privilege* of having "self-actualization" and autonomy, then you're not equity-oriented whether you realize/admit it, or not.
Dear Abled "Allies": Disabled people are furious & grieving today. Do you even know why? A united disability community fought to kill #BillC7. But you ignored us. Canada passed a law making it easier to kill us & you said & did nothing. What will you do now?#DisabilityFilibuster
most doctors are in the top 1% of wealth in Canada but 1/3rd of all disabled people live below the poverty line. when it comes down to it, medical assistance in death IS an issue of wealth inequity, carcerality, medical hegemony, and social pressures to consent to your own death.
with the incredibly sad news that another disabled person chose to end their life through medical assistance in death (MAiD), I'm sharing my poem: MAiD IN HEAVEN. #disabilityFilibuster #BillC7 #No2BillC7 #KillBillC7 #DignityDenied #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #disability
@SFdirewolf @CatherineFrazee I wrote about this earlier in the week: gracedowwrites.com/2022/04/03/why…
I know a lot about the grief that can accompany long periods of illness where you are isolated and bored, but it's harder to talk about the less admirable or pitiable emotions like the overwhelming envy or even anger one can have about other people's lives just...moving on
Lots of platitudes from everyone except for Elizabeth May. Platitudes are useless.
PSA: Elizabeth May speaks TRUTH to POWER Her words RING TRUE We must Invent the Way Forward #IStandWithUkraine @ElizabethMay
Holy shit Elizabeth May’s impassioned plea for peace, appeal to do more to help Ukrainians, and heartfelt invite to President Zelensky to come to Canada so we can look into his eyes and see if we are worthy to be his friend, brought me to tears! #democracy #zelensky
@jcbriscoe1 @nytimes May be of interest from TiLDA on the wish to die in older persons & the transient nature of WTD for many. 72% of those persons who experienced WTD at time 1, did not report it two years later. Also the remediable factors. academic.oup.com/ageing/advance…
We can't have it both ways: we can't both advocate for vulnerable patients before a utilitarian world with its ableism and its metrics for success and also support others who claim that it's undignified to live such lives, that such lives are "not worth living." 18/
Our culture fails to teach that people aren't burdens. Rather, they are burdened by illness and suffering. Parts of that burden can be shared with others. That's the human experience. Are we really trying to wield death as an instrument to avoid or hide that? 13/
On the flip side, ideal autonomy doesn't exist. We will all encounter restrictions and controlling influences on our autonomy. It's good when our agency is supported and protected, but autonomy isn't a necessary condition for human dignity. 11/
Let me be clear: we each have unalienable #dignity as people that others can only recognize, not authorize. Being human, we are frail, vulnerable, and mortal. It does not tarnish our dignity to acknowledge those things nor actually live them. 10/ #hapc #hpm #MedTwitter
