This bus driver decided to refuse me onto the bus trying to tell me that the law changed around wheelchairs and that they legally don’t have to be accepted on the bus.
This was after what looked like him telling the prams they didn’t have to fold them down.
@eatonhamilton @InclusionCA MAID certainly relieves society and government of continuing research into treatments and cures for various forms of mental illness.
@BrvHrt09@InclusionCA I prefer PWD. “disabled”, literally means not working, defective, broken and is a negative term used to describe people trying to achieve an equal standing in society, but yet PWD are barely recognized as people.
Works for LBGTQ2S++, works for me.
@dondarlingSJ@prudeinc@SJNewcomersCntr @Y_SaintJohn While PWD continue to fight for basic human rights and be ignored, @cityofsaintjohn and society as a whole can never call themselves “inclusive” #systemicableism flourishes unchecked and is encouraged by the our leaders’ continued silence. #ableism results in suicide & violence.
@dondarlingSJ People with disabilities are dying in Canada and choosing MAiD because of lack of supports and government sponsored ableist hate and policies. What say you of that?
@MJDLBNM @InclusionCA It’s easy to “celebrate” when you’re not personally affected by legislated poverty and eugenics-based policy. I’m assuming the new legislation will have a number of loopholes to keep PWD dependent and still in extreme poverty.
#BlueJays front office and clubhouse not happy with Anthony Bass’s recent airline controversy and prefer that he focus more on pitching effectively, something he hasn’t been able to do this year.
Star RP a candidate to be cut if struggles on-and-off field continue.
Canada has lost a gracious and tenacious champion for the rights of persons with disabilities: David Onley, former lieutenant-governor of Ontario, dead at 72 https://t.co/VWxBx2SYHY
