TW: #MAiD Suicide Ableism

More about yesterday’s thread: Through tears and anger I’ve spent 3 week frozen for hours everyday trying and failing to write back a “friend” to explain why the mere suggestion that my suicide, assisted or otherwise, is acceptable bc I’m disabled is…
Dehumanizing and coercive in and of itself. It’s been incredibly painful and I’m personally really struggling. But I want to make a broader point. This pro-MAiD advocate isn’t just a “friend” who I’ve trusted with my heart and what’s going on my health before I knew this abt her.
I am also somewhat dependent on her. She’s the only local friend who has stuck around through Covid precautions and me being disabled due to pain. She does a lot of things for me with her car that I’m not sure what I’m going to do without. And THIS…

Good morning to everyone opposed to #BillC7

We are busy working today to get the #DisabilityFilibuster back up and running after two concurrent 'zoom-bombings' by hateful people.

We have already made progress in this regard and things are in motion. We'll keep updating.
We are disgusted with Liberal Party and Bloc's plan to invoke a time allocation "guillotine" to shut down debate on amendments to #BillC7 that were made in February by the Senate. These amendments radically expand an already expansive Bill further.

on Monday, March 8 and not stopping until the Prime Minister withdraws #BillC7 and returns to
the drawing board.
Parliament is scheduled to sit March 8-12 and March 22-26. Somewhere during that interval, it
appears that the Prime Minister is planning to pass #BillC7 – likely sooner rather than later.
