Unique And Equal

A 🇨🇦 grassroots movement to raise awareness for disability rights. Hold government to account. #DisabilityRights are #HumanRights. We are all #uniqueandequal

[Unique And Equal @UniqueEqual]

People with disabilities in Canada have had a long history of discrimination & abuse, such as segregation, institutionalization & compulsory sterilization. They were not given the same rights as non-disabled people until the end of the 1970s. 1/2

@CQualtro Appreciate the progress made. But, you have to admit it's moving at a snail's pace - indicative of the priority (or lack thereof) for this equity group. Ironic to have such a gap in action and importance between equity groups. Esp since PWD is the highest at 16% of the pop.😕

“The vast majority of Metro Vancouver residents (62 per cent) feel the downtown core closest to where they live has declined in the past year, and that violence and crime have gotten worse (71 per cent) compared to pre-pandemic,” the report said.

@AShoutAbout Why the disparity in benefits for people who need it most? Why is the Canadian government deliberately moving equality for people with disabilities back 50 years.

@The280Times @JustinTrudeau @PierrePoilievre @theJagmeetSingh No equity or equality in Canada for people with disabilities.
@MPJulian please push this government to stop ignoring people with disabilities.

[Unique And Equal @UniqueEqual]

What about accessible units? Huge gap in housing not just affordable housing. Once again #PWD left out.

Now, it’s confirmed. Grocery CEOs including Galen Weston of Loblaws have been summoned before Parliament to testify about food prices.

It's happening on March 8.

I won’t take it easy on them.

Hard to make the case for equality when there is a clear distinction between PWDs who can't work and those who can. Not inclusive. Not fair.

@604Now Ya know, municipal governments in other cities in Canada are responsible for clearing roads AND sidewalks. It's ridiculous to think everyone has the ability to shove🤷🏻‍♀️🧑‍🦽
