If any other marginalised group, were treated as disabled people are, there would be an outcry !
Hate speech has been allowed for 15 year's

Oh on the mini budget @RTERadio1 why have people with disabilities and carers been ignored?
Again and again and again!!!!

Sophia explains to us why people need to come out on Saturday at 1pm, the garden of remembrance, to support the Demonstration fighting for a #EmergencySupportPayment for People with disabilities and carers!
Poverty is rife in the community and people need to have their voices heard!!!

Shameful.
The government has voted against a proposal to make an emergency winter payment to disabled people.
The government took €1,400 off disabled people in the budget and is now refusing to give them €400.
A government for the rich, not the rest.
Support from across UK for CEO who turned down MBE over government ‘demonisation’ of disabled people '“demonised, dehumanised and scapegoated” disabled people.'"

Why can't those that can do something, hear us? #DisabilityPoverty
I have nothing to offer a human being other than my absence. People will call me a selfish asshole but in truth everyone is better off without me
No talking won’t make a difference i tried it
"It can be a struggle for basic things like food", listen to how the cost of disability is impacting members like Keith Charles.

With PM @MarkJCarney our first priority is delivering a middle class tax cut for nearly 22 million Canadians, that will save families up to $840 a year. This will put more money back into the pockets of Canadians.
It’s clear and simple, we are making life more affordable. 🇨🇦
@InclusionCA @InclusionAB The #CDB will never be more than a token, "STFU and go away" benefit. It will never be more than a barrier ridden, horrifically flawed, piece of trash that does nothing to address #DisabilityPoverty.
Why? Because neither @CPC_hq nor @liberal_party give a sweet FUCK about #PWD
Tbh, I’m scared & angry. I NEED carbon tax rebate 4X/yr. Huge budget hole w/out. Hey! Who among us legislated into #DisabilityPoverty needs to eat 3X/day. Without I can’t uncovered meds & treatment I NEED! It’s not like Carney’s Libs will help us w tariffs inflation. Only WORKERS
Annnnnd Carney is already talking about getting rid of the carbon tax and ditching the capital gains tax increase....bleh
Both of those moves disproportionately benefit the wealthy and seem to be responding to Conservative-led branding problems rather than reality.
Another poverty factor: #DisabilityPoverty is underrepresented in poverty estimates because many tools like the #MBM and the #LIM don't calculate the additional costs associated with disability -or what some disabled folks call the "Disability Tax." @CIL_Toronto
In 2022, poverty rate of disabled people was on average two times higher than non disabled.

4. Poverty rate of disabled seniors is steady at about 20%
5.Disabled ppl 4 times more likely to experience homelessness! #BudgetTO

People with disabilities need a Canada Disability Benefit that is adequate, inclusive, and accessible. We need to #TripleTheBenefit to make this a reality. #CDNPoli #DisabilityPoverty
📉 The poverty rate for people with disabilities in Canada remains unacceptably high. The National Advisory Council on Poverty’s 2024 report highlights rising costs, systemic barriers, and inadequate supports that keep many in poverty. Action is overdue.
