A grassroots org for persons with both visible and invisible disabilities in the Province of NB, Canada 🇨🇦 as well as their families and our allies.

@TeeeEmtee I'm sure the idea is being pushed by Higgs, Fleming and Pals and being funded by Irving.

@ducke_dartmouth @CTVAtlantic Are you for real? Close to 50% of those who are homeless are persons with disabilities...we never asked to be disabled..or to live in poverty

[shelley @NBCPD1]

@CTVAtlantic The NBCPD tried this 2 years ago. Premier Higgs and then Minister of SD, Fitch, said there was no need, that they understand how bad it is..lol.

[shelley @NBCPD1]

@DavidCCoon That's an easy answer...its nb housing homes, so ts people on assistance persons with disabilities, etc...The current govt treats us like we are people with no value...this just adds to the proof.

[Disability Without Poverty @Disability_WP]

We applaud Senator @SenCoyle for encouraging her fellow colleagues to move Bill C-22 to committee. The Canada Disability Benefit will transform lives.

@simplesarahbear @poitrasCBC Canada is also studying which pfafs to ban. I wish it were all of them, as it would greatly improve my health.
It would also morose the health of so many others, especially those with asthma, diabetes, adhd, Colon and liver cancer &obesity. Pfafs are directly linked to these

POV you're interviewing New Brunswick's Chief Medical Officer of Health...

There are no secondary gains in severe chronic illness, only pills that are hard to swallow. People who perpetuate the myth of secondary gain show that they neither understand the cause of severe illness nor its consequences.

Had a high school girl and her friend look at each other, laugh and then decide to fake cough when they saw me masked at the shops.

This is what we call an ableist microaggression.

@equiteNBequity @front_nb @GreenPartyNB @NBLA_ALNB @pcnbca @NBNDP_NPDNB It's also important for persons with disabilities. We rely on services too often provided by low income earners. When they are forced to work sick, our health especially those of us who are immunocomprimised, is put at risk.

[shelley @NBCPD1]

@poitrasCBC But, persons with disabilities, who can't work are still expected to live on $832/month in rat infested squalor. When we are honest and identify a 200k error they insist it must be paid back, knowing the total surplus this year is over 1 mil$$. Unacceptable.

[shelley @NBCPD1]

@premierbhiggs With tax payer money thst could have been used to help nb's vulnerable population..shame

[shelley @NBCPD1]

@Shelley52691693 @andrewwaugh13 (2/2) anaphylaxis food allergies is a very serious issue. This is not what happened. Why is he embarrassed about collapsing ( unless he was intoxicated) and trying to minimize a very serious and often deadly situation.

[shelley @NBCPD1]

@ibdgirl76 As someone who has been on an option patch for 26 years due to an accident during surgery that put me into horrific pain. If I were to lose that pain management tool I'd be dead. I tried and failed before starting the patch- unreal pain controlled my life. I can't go back there

[shelley @NBCPD1]

@johnnymifsud23 @LloydLongfield It's set up, the way we told them wd wanted it...as a regulatory bill. After it passes each province has to enter into a MOU thst guarantees no clawbacks, no reliance on feds to do what the province is supposed to do. Each prov must also work out who and how to qualify.

Got my chair letter & pin...kinda neat!!

[Kera O’Regan @keraoregan]

Disabled people do #CollectiveCare so damn well, and the community springs into action in amazing and beautiful ways when there are crises, but we shouldn’t bloody have to. We should be able to trust that our Councils, governments, and organisations will care for us too.

This is horrific
And also what is a COVID +ve patient doing in the hallway, this is exposing everyone in the ER
