The Canadian Human Rights Act, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, & the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with #Disabilities all prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability and take precedence over all other laws. #accessivote
Are they forgotten by every candidate? They want action now.
22% of voters have a #Disability. Millions more are getting older and have physical difficulties. Why are they ignored?

This is a province wide issue. Every child deserves an education. To exclude a child due to a disability contravenes the Human Rights Code (which takes precedence over all other laws) @MattJDever @anthony_frisina

The SSAO has requested that the Ontario Human Rights Commission do an inquiry into the mass institutionalization of adults as a human rights violation. This has been denied on grounds that the Ontario Human Rights Commission says it lacks resources #accessivote @anthony_frisina
"They aren’t nursing ‘homes’, they are institutions.
They aren’t Long-Term ‘Care’ facilities, they are institutions. End the euphemisms. These are institutions.”

An example of #AccessibleHousing with #UniversalDesign for #PWD
Frank Wright designed a home in the 1950’s where he adjusted one of his L shaped designs to include wider doorways and lower door handles, replaced hard-to-open cabinets and included a roll-under sink.#accessivote
David Onley said design barriers are no different than "the signs of a bygone era, telling people which water fountains they could or could not use and which restaurants or buses they could or could not use."

"For a person using a wheelchair, stairs are like a sign that says you can't enter here. The same goes a blind woman trying to find her way in a building without Braille signage. The message is: you don't belong here." David Onley

Ensure that public money is never used to create or maintain accessibility barriers. The government should establish a strategy and process to see that its funding does not erect new barriers or perpetuate old ones. There should be no harm done.

Built environment barriers are a form of discrimination. This discrimination by design must end! The glacial pace of change over the past 14 years has left the disability community deeply disappointed and must be sped up. #accessivote

There are rumours of a federal election, possibly in September. Tell all candidates: People with disabilities pay taxes - & they vote, especially for politicians who will legislate accessible housing. Accessible housing should be a right for all individuals.
