MP @JulieDzerowicz spoke with pride today that her govt tossed hundreds of millions of dollars to food banks and other charities, rather than give that money directly to people in need, including people with disabilities who have a great difficulty accessing food banks in normal

times let alone in a pandemic. It is clear that MP Dzerowicz has never been in a food bank as a client, where it would be hard to believe they had received over $100 million. She may wish to visit the countless pieces of photographic evidence that food banks offer up rotten,

mouldy and expired food to people who don't dare complain, lest they get even that food high-handedly snatched away from them, because many food bank workers love the thrill of having power over those in need.

To MP @JulieDzerowicz

If you are so proud of the fact Canada would sooner spend hundreds of million on food banks that then offer substandard fare to recipients, rather than urge your govt to give food band recipients a livable benefit where they can go and choose their own

food with dignity, at a grocery store, then perhaps you should sign up for a 30 day food bank challenge and see how many days you can make it before you become seriously ill and malnourished. My friend, who has a disability and can't afford to live, was recently diagnosed with a

B12 deficiency in particular, and malnourishment in general. This purely poverty-related disease is exacerbating a very serious degenerative neurological disease. If she soon isn't able to afford real food, she could die. It is all right for her because she's been begging for

MAID ever since it became apparent that people with disabilities would not be helped by any level of government, but for the people who love her and try to support her in every way they can, her loss will be devastating to us, and we will be directly blaming both Doug Ford's

cruel government and yours, who was aided and abetted by your cruel government. She worked all her life, paid taxes and helped build this country, just like every other person the Liberals praise and give money to as a thanks for their contribution. Your government openly

discriminates against people with disabilities just like Doug Ford's government when it comes to PWD. Why does your government treat PWD like dogs, just throwing them scraps of everyone else's castoffs to these charities you seem to think are wonderful. It shouldn't be up to her

friends and family to be financially supporting her. Her parents are retired on a limited pension. Her friends have family obligations of their own. What was the point of her paying hundreds of thousands in taxes if all she would get in return is $1,169/mo and that was ONLY after

she had to spend all her pensions, sell off her assets, so she literally has nothing left except that $1,169 a month, where most of that money goes to pay her rent. Why is your government not complying with the @UN_Enable Convention that your government signed and made legally

binding upon Canada, to ensure PWD are physically, mentally and financially protected and NOT to be left behind?

I ask you to PLEASE stop praising food banks and other charities. All you're doing by glorifying them is saying, "To hell with you poor and disabled people: you're

not worth anything but the scraps that everyone else just throws away.

Just PLEASE stop praising charities. The message you're sending is that PWDs don't matter.
