The appalling ableism in health care, government, academia, and society is even more evident than usual in this pandemic. Canada is one of the worst offenders. It’s hard to take. 🧵
This is not surprising, as we already knew that Canada does poorly compared to other countries when it comes to supporting disabled people. E.g., we do very poorly on, “spending due to sickness, disability and occupational injury.” data.oecd.org/socialexp/publ… data.oecd.org/chart/6hja

1/👋Hello from 1 of the people that @ToddSmithPC referred to as "questioning this & spreading misinformation" with regard to whether or not students in group homes will be allowed to attend school IN PERSON.Throw shade Todd but the question remains. @Shawn_Jeffords #onpoli #ONDP
2/Days away from school year start yet students,families & agencies have NO clear direction from gov as to whether in person,in school learning is allowed for students living in group homes. I've seen the emails from agencies,I've received the calls,I've listened to the families.
3/Uncertainty is tied to current visitor & off site restrictions for residents of congregate care. Pls stop spinning this as spreading misinformation & laying this on students,families & agencies with valid concerns & issue a clear directive. You insulted families @ToddSmithPC
