@OlyBackstrom @ScottBilleck It will play out in drama and tragedy

@MsBehavior Practice practice and more practice. I got comfortable with it by getting involved in community theater and acting. There are lots of opportunities to enhance one's speaking out there.

[Rose Flaig @Possibilityist]

@OlyBackstrom @tim_co_op Well done you two with the play of words there!

"Discussing MAID with veterans is not within the scope of the VAC, an agency in charge of the care of a population already at higher risk of suicide."

Expanded access to #MAiD with no safeguards will only result in more of these stories coming to light.

"Disability advocates and academics are urging the joint committee examining #MAiD to stop dismissing the lived experiences of vulnerable Canadians as 'anecdotes.'"

There's no excuse for offering #MAiD to a combat veteran seeking support for PTSD. "Euthanasia is rapidly becoming one of Canada's leading causes of death." As a result expanded access to MAiD with no safeguards, incidents like this are becoming common.

Wistful tweeting…

[Rose Flaig @Possibilityist]

@princepolity My sentiments exactly!

[Inclusion Canada @InclusionCA]

Alan was recently approved for #MAiD on the basis of only 1 health condition: hearing loss. "Alan was basically put to death," "Euthanasia cannot be a default for Canada’s failure to fulfill its human rights obligations,”

Done some research and apparently words of inspiration / promises of a better day aimed towards Persons with Disabilities are not actually the same as them having food; safe and adequate housing; financial security; barrier free inclusion and timely access to necessary services.

[Rose Flaig @Possibilityist]

@OlyBackstrom That's so cool!

[Inclusion Canada @InclusionCA]

The final episode of @invinstitutions is out now! Ep 7: Life and Death in Canada's Institutions covers the expansion of MAiD and criminalization of #disability. Featuring Inclusion Canada’s Natalia Hicks, Catherine Frazee, and the @DJNO’s Sarah Jama.

@princepolity So is this a "do as the party says, not as you live?" Integrity be damned seems to be the motto.

@MsBehavior May the child in you live on!

Jim Derksen will be very much missed

[Michael J. Prince @princepolity]

Jim Derksen, a giant in the Canadian disability rights movement for 50 years: “we are helping to awaken humanity to the reality that all people are flawed and yet beautiful, and each one limited in his or her unique way and yet powerful.”
