@Dave_Eby What about those of us with a disability? Let’s keep everyone who is different in poverty by providing $375 a month for housing on PWD. Take a look at our homeless population how many wheel chairs,canes and scooters do you see? Make a real change!

[BC Teachers’ Federation @bctf]

#BCed teachers helped keep the economy open and kept kids learning during the pandemic. But now, the teacher shortage is getting worse and their wages are falling behind because of the #bcpoli government's underfunding. Teachers need a salary that keeps up with the cost of living

I ❤️ that I can text my father or relatives to help me with translation into Nehiyawewin if I can’t. Recently I resigned from a job to focus on learning my language. It scares me to think when I may not be able to text them. Indigenous languages are endangered & need support now.

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

The act of designating needs as “special” dehumanizes disabled people. It transforms a human need into a burden.

[DeGroote Business @DeGrooteBiz]

The costs of hiring people with disabilities aren't as high as expected, turnover tends to be lower, and employees are loyal. Professor and Canada Research Chair in Organizational Development Catherine Connelly discusses the business case for hiring people with disabilities.

On long term care:

The truth is, nobody *wants* to live in long term care. Nobody would take this option over properly funded homecare, pharmacare, and palliative care. We've convinced ourselves that warehousing folks is humane, but it's a place people don't want to die in. 1/
