Nothing more true than this. "In a public-relations war, money can create even more imbalance than it does in a courtroom." policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri… 🎯🙏@mssinenomine
Reality, not religion, is the reason people need MAiD-free health care. As Gabrielle Peters explains, ableism and its “better dead than disabled” bias makes assisted dying a threat for too many people — they deserve safety from it. options-po.li/3wbtmEJ
Compelling piece by @mssinenomine RT-Reality, not religion, is the reason people need MAiD-free health care policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
Twitter quotes don’t do justice to this superbly insightful & moving commentary on #ableism & Canada’s #MAID #Euthanasia’s impact on disabled persons. A must read for anyone interested in health care & policy. It’s about so much more than MAiD free spaces…policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
Good morning. I wrote about why disabled people need MAiD-free healthcare spaces - and much more. In a public-relations war, money can create even more imbalance than it does in a courtroom. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
"Canada has made disabled people a killable class, and hardly anyone has considered the impact this would have on us. This country must maintain MAiD-free health-care spaces." Reality, not religion, is the reason people need MAiD-free health care: policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
'A colossal failure': Advisor resigns in protest of Trudeau government's disability benefit From my conversation with @princepolity for @TorontoStar: thestar.com/politics/feder…
Domestic violence situations are arrangements in which one person, usually a woman, finds her life narrowed, her actions surveilled, her freedoms constrained and her body abused, violated and hurt. ...the greatest terror of domestic abuse is how the world conspires to look away.

Senate has adopted Bill C-62, not a victory but a 3 year delay of euthanizing persons not at end of life with mental illness. It should have been discarded in it's entirety along with Track 2. Lots of work still to be done.
Congratulations to all the disabled people and allies who worked tirelessly to make sure this happened. We know Liberals had their own reasons but ultimately that's because you all wouldn't let them bury the harm. We know it's not enough but it's important victory nonetheless.
Senator Mary Jane McCallum: "First Nations are facing a mental health epidemic that far outstrips the Canadian public... We are tired; and we need help, but the help we need is not the extended hand of death" re #MAID #euthanasia for #mentalillness senparlvu.parl.gc.ca/Harmony/en/Pow…

Senator McPhedran cites @igrantubc and @TrudoLemmens ' piece about women's rights and MAiD, talks about substantive equality and CRPD. "Disability rights are crucial for people with disabilities to thrive in an ableist society that often degrades the value of their lives."

Nothing more true than this. "In a public-relations war, money can create even more imbalance than it does in a courtroom." policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri… 🎯🙏@mssinenomine
@ThaddeusPope any informed observer #euthanasia & #PAS knows this is promotion with veneer of research. All euthanasia regimes w-out end-of-life restriction have higher numbers. 'Awareness' doesn't explain higher % in Canada than in B (& Nl), jurisdictions w laws since 2002 & greater awareness
People detained in hospitals under mental health laws in UK dying at 3X rate of prisoners. It's incomprehensible how scandalous this is--you're being "helped" in a "hospital" for emotional distress, yet... (And I don't think US or Canada even track this.) independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…
ANOTHER THUNDERBIRD ON THE MOVE! Theo Benedet has signed with the @ChicagoBears 👏 🇨🇦
@lisybabe_Public @thelizcarr @lisybabe This paper by @igrantubc is very good. And notes in it can lead you to more resources. researchers.allard.ubc.ca/ws/portalfiles…
I think many people on both sides have turned this into a debate about drug use and I honestly think that's a separate debate. We're in a crisis. I think the issue is how best to support (as in help keep alive/prevent death) of people who are presently using drugs.
On the other hand: overwhelming support for this move is likely. The general public has zero support for public drug use. #bcpoli
Someone just texted me: "I hope you aren't too disappointed that Andre Picard didn't post your article today." And I cackled so loud my neighbour just knocked on my door and asked if I am OK.
Reality, not religion, is the reason people need MAiD-free health care. As Gabrielle Peters explains, ableism and its “better dead than disabled” bias makes assisted dying a threat for too many people — they deserve safety from it. options-po.li/3wbtmEJ
Fantastic piece @mssinenomine "The result of this is our entire humanity is compressed into our diagnosis" A must read. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
Waking to news of yet another woman allegedly murdered in Australia. The horror of women killed in the month of April alone continues. A 30 year old woman has died in a fire in a home in WA. A man in his 30s is assisting police with their inquiries after he & a 3 year old child…
If you've been following the situation in Kelowna where due to construction of a UBC development, residents of a nearby social housing were forced out of their homes into hotel...a disabled man has died & there's a clear line connecting these events.
“You’ve denied responsibility and in doing that you’ve taken a moral stand that you won’t support the people in your community and that is in fact disgraceful to me.” #bcpoli 👇🏼 globalnews.ca/news/10450057/…
“The only MAiD-free spaces left are in faith-based facilities… Canada has made disabled people a killable class, and hardly anyone has considered the impact this would have on us. This country must maintain MAiD-free health-care spaces.” Powerful read from @mssinenomine

I just emailed the link to the physician who saved my life so yes, I am crying now obviously. "Thank you for saving my life. Those words will never be adequate."
Good morning. I wrote about why disabled people need MAiD-free healthcare spaces - and much more. In a public-relations war, money can create even more imbalance than it does in a courtroom. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
Laudable for @IRPP to have given significant space to #disability voices & congrats @mssinenomine for a terrific piece
Twitter quotes don’t do justice to this superbly insightful & moving commentary on #ableism & Canada’s #MAID #Euthanasia’s impact on disabled persons. A must read for anyone interested in health care & policy. It’s about so much more than MAiD free spaces…policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
‘Affirming support for the belief of “better dead than disabled” in health care is dangerous and cruel. Canada has made disabled people a killable class, and hardly anyone has considered the impact this would have on us.’ @mssinenomine👇🏼 policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
