Just minutes ago at #COSP18: Our own @KristaCarrNB took the floor at the UN General Assembly and delivered an incredibly powerful message. 🎤

She spoke directly to *all* countries, including Canada's delegation.

This wasn't just a speech; it was a stand.

For too long, Canada has heard the UN's directives: ➡️ Repeal MAiD Track 2
➡️ Close institutions
➡️ End segregation in ALL its forms
➡️ Deliver a REAL disability benefit

These are not suggestions. They are human rights obligations.

Krista's message was clear & unwavering: Ableism rebrands, but our resolve only strengthens. Every broken promise, every new label for old exclusion, fuels our fight.

To families in Canada: We see you. Your fight matters. To governments: We see through the new labels. Rights are NOT negotiable.

"We have courage. We have the Convention. We have each other. And we are NOT going anywhere."
- Krista Carr

The world heard. Now Canada must act.

Watch her full remarks below. 👇

One cannot claim parents are freely choosing, when in reality one option is readily available and the other, the inclusive classroom, is not. It is clear that @EPSBNews prefers to segregate children with autism.

"Scapegoating students with challenging behaviour as the source of the problem with education reinforces stigmatizing attitudes and beliefs towards disability.”

[Inclusion Canada @InclusionCA]

We want to wish all teachers, support staff, principals, parents and learners a wonderful start to a new school year.

Remember, all learners have the right to be in school in their community learning alongside their peers.

It’s time to #HaveTheConversationAB and let your MLA candidates know that you expect people with developmental disabilities to be included in the election. Parent @d_gunder did, and has some tips to share. https://t.co/y8A2RhsTci
