This must be the 'Mindability' to which the minister is referring...based in Scottsdale AZ? https://t.co/SBt3hw2JrY.
What else can we outsource to the US?
@CMHAOntario @NickelBelt #MentalHealth #ONpoli #DefendDisability
Tomorrow, Ontario will unveil our new plan to build a comprehensive mental health and addictions system that connects people to the care they need, when and where they need it—including Mindability: a first of its kind program in Canada to deliver cognitive behavioural therapy.
It's a few years old, but this film, I Daniel Blake, is just as relevant today, maybe even more-so, as when it was released. Highly recommended viewing.
We're all one misstep, one accident, one unfortunate occurrence away from #disability. #WeAreAllDanielBlake. #DefendDisability

Opinion: Ford hires U.S. firm to push Ontarians off #SocialAssistance:
"They will simply enter another kind of poverty — the working poor — or they will end up homeless, or worse".

1. Ottawa
2. Toronto
3. Region of Peel
Let's keep the ball rolling!

Today, @regionofpeel Council unanimously supports my motion urging the @ToddSmithPC, Minister of Children, Community & Social Services & the Ontario Govt to reverse its plan to cut $1 billion from the Ontario Disability Support Program and Ontario Works program.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our #ODSP town hall last night at @DebraDynes Family House. People on social assistance are already struggling to get by, and more restrictive eligibility criteria will make things even tougher. #DefendDisability #onpoli #OttawaCentre

Proud to join @OttawaACORN at their rally today calling on the Ford government not to impose a more restrictive definition of disability that will hurt ODSP recipients. #DefendDisability #onpoli #OttawaCentre
The Conservative Government is planning to change the definition of disability and make it harder to qualify for ODSP. Join ACORN members across Ontario rallying to save social assistance and raise the rates

@CIL_Toronto @djnontario @aodaalliance @A4AOntario @ARCHDisability @DAWNRAFHCanada @ODCoalition @myNEADS Although they don't have a twitter presence per se, the fine folks at #DefendDisability have done/been doing some great work to maintain the current definition of "disability" in #ODSP. https://t.co/yJOKmssX3C

City council joins growing wave of opposition to province’s proposed cuts to (#ODSP) for disabled:
"It’s irresponsible. It’s almost inhumane to put so many lives at risk, put ppl on alert (last Nov20) & then go radio-silent” #DefendDisability #NotAChoice
https://t.co/NceICG7gWT
No one wants to live in #Poverty.
Nobody aspires to be on #SocialAssistance.
No person ever dreamed they'd wind up on #ODSP, or worse. #Homeless.
It's #NotAChoice. 🚫🏠

@Jesi343 @ODSPAction That’s what they think, that everyone on odsp are scammers. Yet it’s not easy to get drs don’t want to tell people they shouldn’t be working. Also no one wants to live in the poverty that odsp gives.
@on4all @SCLSclinic @BradMBradford @ToddSmithPC Also great work by the Defend Disability group, including Claude Wittmann, for his focus and determination to get this motion before Toronto city council. ✊#DefendDisability #ONpoli @lmonseb

Great work by @ODSPAction advocates, legal clinics like @SCLSclinic and @BradMBradford to get UNANIMOUS support from ANOTHER City Council to persuade the province to keep the current, accurate & appropriate definition of disability. #onpoli @ToddSmithPC
TO city council to ask provincial govt to maintain disability definition:
“Unilateral changes in a vacuum of silence without consultation is not the way to build smart, thoughtful policy”.
Thank-you Councillor @BradMBradford! #DefendDisability #ONpoli

Redefining disability to narrow access to supports for disabled people just moves costs from the social assistance budget to the shelters, health & homeless services budget - there are no winners but lots and lots of losers #onpoli #TOpoli #defenddisability @ODSPAction
The direct lived experience of #ODSP recipients is outlined by Claude Wittmann as he speaks in support of Councillor @BradMBradford ‘s motion opposing the redefinition of #disability - harrowing!! #topoli #onpoli #defenddisability @ODSPAction
