I spoke to ⁦@CTVNationalNews⁩ about ⁦@AirCanada⁩’s discriminatory pattern of behaviour.

The airline forgets ANOTHER passenger's customized wheelchair in Toronto. https://t.co/tuu3E5UlRm

.@AirCanada this isn’t an appropriate statement after throwing a customer with a disability into crisis.

A “$300 goodwill gesture” is laughable and reeks of ableism.

@maayanziv we couldn't have done it without you as well - you're an inspiration!!

[Wendy Elliott @wcitrigno]

How on earth is it ok that @AirCanada lost my stepdad's custom wheelchair and left him and my mother stranded in Chile with a measly $300 and a loaner wheelchair he can't be safely transferred from. This is unacceptable!! @maayanziv @CBCToronto @CityNewsTO #accessibility

[Wendy Elliott @wcitrigno]

We did it - his wheelchair just arrived in perfect condition!They're both crying tears of joy and letting out a huge sigh of relief. Thank you everyone for your support and especially @AdrianGhobrial @AhmarSKhan @elanashepert @TylerRCheese @CTVNews @am640 @CBCToronto @globalnews

When Jim Hamilton had a stroke, he & his wife Kathie thought their plans to travel the world were grounded forever. After months of carful planning they decided to “give it a try.” Then Air Canada lost his custom wheelchair. My latest for @CTVNationalNews👇🏽https://t.co/S5ncR2sPxA

'Just unacceptable': Air Canada forgets passenger's customized wheelchair in Toronto https://t.co/Fb1egYhO0m

The family said Air Canada didn’t move on getting them their wheelchair until they contacted the media with their story.

[Ahmar Khan @AhmarSKhan]

Jim Hamilton, a stroke survivor now paralyzed on the right side of his body, has a custom-built wheelchair worth $5000+. Air Canada forgot to ship his wheelchair, gave him a broken replacement and offered a $300 voucher.

A man travelling to Chile from Toronto had his custom-fitted wheelchair left behind by Air Canada. The wheelchair priced at more than $5000 was replaced with a broken-down wheelchair and the family was credited $300.

@HeatherPurdon @AirCanada Thank you for helping shine a light on this important issue!

@TTChelps Thank you!

[Wendy Elliott @wcitrigno]

@TTChelps Understandable that it takes time to get buses running but it's the lack of direction and inconsistent pickup locations at the stations that causes frustration/chaos. Doesn't each station have a plan about where emergency buses will pick up and direct riders on how to line up?

[Wendy Elliott @wcitrigno]

@jen_keesmaat Just curious why no transit plans ever seem to cover the Woodbine and Ashbridges Bay areas? Is the demand not there, or are there structural issues with implementation? Hoping you can shed some light!
