Living life 1 cup of coffee at a time. I write, make pretty things & plan fun times. I have a creative passion for helping communities & people.

I feel humbled and grateful though I’m only one among millions of women out there who have so much to say and offer. Women of all races, ages and conditions. Thanks for your loyalty and support. ❤️

Having a disability in Canada makes one twice as likely to live in poverty, and that is totally unacceptable.

Bill C-22, The Canada Disability Benefit will do a lot to help.

I was proud to support the Disability Without Poverty rally as an ally to #EndDisabilityPoverty.

Today is #HumanRightsDay

Everyone, no matter status or identity, is entitled to not only basic needs like food, shelter, & medical care.. but of a life with dignity and opportunity!

[Disability Without Poverty @Disability_WP]

We want to be seen as full members of society!

Tomorrow is the #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities and it's the occasion to spotlight this desire for independence, dignity and autonomy. -Clare Li

Canada has the resources to end disability poverty.
Our job is to make sure it has the will. Strong public support comes before bold political decision making.

📣 Please SHARE to keep the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit as a national priority.

The new Canadian Disability Benefit is desperately needed, and supported by the majority of Canadians, according to this @angusreidorg Survey. Many Canadians living with disability surveyed report experiencing financial stress. Let's #EndDisabilityPoverty

Last September I promised Canadians that we would introduce a first of its kind Canada disability benefit, and today we delivered on that promise.

This morning, I tabled in the #HoC Bill C-35  that would establish the framework for a new Canada Disability Benefit.

Today, the Hon. @CQualtro tabled historic legislation to establish the Canada Disability Benefit to improve the financial security of Canadians with disabilities & lift many out of poverty.

Positive way to mark the 2nd anniversary of the Accessible Canada Act - and build upon it

[Carla Qualtrough @CQualtro]

In the spirit of Nothing Without Us, we will work with the disability community, along with provinces and territories to ensure that this benefit and plan is designed with your needs in mind. https://t.co/GXwzMKNXAc

When #Quebec’s Culture Minister announced “Quebec music only” in government buildings and phone lines I had thoughts. Not all bad. Certainly not all good. /
Imposing Quebec music won’t necessarily make people fall in love with the culture https://t.co/D2KGPEjZAp @CultMTL
