How many other AAC chairs/members are disgusted by their municipality's indifference to PWD?

We need to organize. Accessibility is now a mere check-box and liberties are being taken with the notion the AAC approved a presentation - vastly different than an endorsement!

[Googlyness ♿ @googlyness]

@Squarest_Root I'm wiped today but we need to connect. I too am disgusted how my city is always pleased to entertain the AAC then does what they want because the AAC said aye to receiving a presentation. Agendas and Plans written by staff with no input from PWD. Pfft. AACs NEED TO ORGANIZE!

Went on a bit of a tear on radio just now about homelessness crisis in Ontario. Financial issues and not able to access housing are leading cause. Ford needs to put back rent controls, raise ODSP and provide treatment options NOT waste money on things like spa parking. #onpoli

@ONSocialService You serious right now?! Are you giving back-pats cos we're slightly less poor? Not because the gov thought it was the right thing to do, but because an election and long owed inflation was "given" to us?
Your self-inflation is gross. We can't afford basic medical treatments ffs!

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Before you judge a disabled person - before you tell them to try harder or that they’re a burden to society - remember that you too will end up disabled one day. Health is a temporary state & disability is NOT a moral failing.

Everyone deserves care, compassion & dignity.

There should be multiple HEPA filters operating in every classroom. No excuse anymore.

Howdy

People with Disabilities need your help calling out the rampant ABLEISM in Canada
Are Canadians with disabilities on government support supposed to prostitute? We don't have income supports that offer enough to pay for basics. We can't get married. We can't work enough to support ourselves.

All we have is charity, MAiD, crime or prostitution left.

@ThePOTSPostman Well, you look great. And look, you're up and around! (In a songsong voice. Blech)

[Googlyness ♿ @googlyness]

@Sarah_Colero It's because they don't care about the disableds/poors. 🤷‍♂️ We don't matter as long as there are many admin jobs that depend on us existing in deep poverty.

Poor and disabled people are great for those who have money to make more money from those living in poverty, by policy.

[Tyler Stack @TylerStack]

Liberal & NDP MPs should be forced to hire disabled people, ensure their offices are 100% accessible, & offer work from home. They voted for a measly $200 Canada Disability Benefit to "recognize the importance of work", put up some jobs.

@ADHDForReal Yes

[Googlyness ♿ @googlyness]

Please be kind. You may have had a great long weekend but the poors & disableds had to wait 3 days instead of the usual two to get services or speak to their worker about a crisis. We don't get the same rights & privileges as most. We're not worthy as per our govs. #ODSP #CDB

@casey_payne999 @AIMautistic @jennpolite And they should stop working with children too. @JennPolite is actively undermining the quality of life for most autistic people with "guidance" like this. "Make a child comply by making them miserable and removing their joy." pffffftttt

Don't punish ppl for who they are! ♾️

[Googlyness ♿ @googlyness]

@AIMautistic This person is the antithesis of an ally. Nothing they proffer should be taken without considerable consideration and suspicion.

And people wonder why adult Autistic are traumatized!?

STOP TORTURING AUTISTIC PEOPLE BY MAKING PERFORM AS A NEUROTYPICAL! It's Inhumane. Ffs.

Possible unpopular opinion (but I don’t care):

I think Airbnbs should be illegal. So many sit empty most of the time, some of the owners are just plain horrible people, they drive up cost of housing, and add to the housing crisis.

@haydentiff @sensorystories_ I realize that I was in pain only after the pain is gone. When I feel like my wheelchair is going very slowly, even tho it's not, it makes me pause and ponder. When I'm in pain time stands still and that is my indicator to stop and consider. It's impossible to explain to NTs tho.
