🧵The #CanadaDisabilityBenefit could be a game-changer.
We sent a survey asking people with disabilities from the Leadnow community to share their stories in their own words. If this issue is not a reality for you, please read their stories. #BillC22 must be passed! #cdnpoli👇

It may be another year without the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit. Bill C-22 has been dragging its way through the senate, and disability advocates worry that it may be delayed again for another year. #BillC22 #cdnpoli
#BillC22 has been almost 3 years in the making, and people living with disabilities in Canada are still having to live without financial support to meet their basic needs. #CanadaDisabilityBenefit #cdnpoli
Dear Disabled Peeps
If you got temporary monthly emergency aid of $2500 would you wait for Billc22 to have protective legislation added to it before it passes?

Today I asked Minister @NicholasSimons if he would immediately raise the rates for people with disabilities so that they are no longer forced to live below the poverty line.

#BillC22 : Welcome removal of mandatory minimums, and provision of options (including warnings) rather than relying on referrals to drug treatment courts as originally directed in @MinJusticeEn Mandate letter. Also a strong statement of principles (thread):
(a) problematic substance use should be addressed primarily as a health and social issue;
b) interventions should be founded on evidence-based best practices and should aim to protect the health, dignity and human rights of individuals who use drugs and to reduce harm to those individuals, their families and their communities;
