Please see below for our full statement on Wednesday's atrocious response to Kjipuktuk's ongoing housing crisis. Disability remains a leading cause of homelessness. The actions taken by @hfxgov & @HfxRegPolice have traumatized our community who has long been neglected and abused.

We have to work against the narrative that politicians have no power to make a difference, or that a complex social issue belongs to one jurisdiction or another. We live entangled lives & our lives don’t fit neatly into municipal, provincial, or federal jurisdictions. #nspoli
I have posted a lot in the last couple of weeks about #rentcontrol and the #righttohousing. The consequences of a hands-off approach are real, dire, in people’s lives. My condolences to family and friends of Roy Clark. #Fairview#nspoli

Please take a moment to complete this survey from the Canada Human Rights Commission! They are monitoring the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Canada. Let them know your experiences.

COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities.
Why? Because the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions.
Inequality is a comorbidity. COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations.
For many folks with disabilities who are living independently, home care is an essential service. Yet privatized providers have been cancelling appointments, as home care has not been classified as ‘essential’ leaving folks isolated & without care. Home care is essential. #nspoli
Hey @hfxgov you can do better than this 3 days after storm at one of the busiest crosswalks - can’t reach the beg-cross button in wheel chair @WalknRollHfx@WayeMason@paulvienneau1
