This is a thread about the Disability Filibuster on #BillC7
Disabled Canadians and our allies around the world plan to leave it all on the field in the final days of the Bill C7 debate

A live Zoom solidarity broadcast running round-the-clock, 24/7 beginning before Parliament sits
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.

The Bloc Québecois has signalled its intention to vote with the liberals in favour of #BillC7. The Prime
Minister therefore has the votes that he requires to invoke closure on the current debates about Bill C7 and to force a vote that right now he knows he will win.

This proposal takes root in a desire to do everything we can to make it more and more difficult for individual MP’s in all parties to support the Prime Minister and his cabinet in their shameful quest. #BillC7

People who have been working intensely on the campaign to STOP #BillC7 & before that, the campaign calling for appeal of the Truchon decision, & before that, on the campaign to be heard in the courts that considered the Truchon and the Lamb challenges –

— we are angry, exhausted and disillusioned, but no one is ready to give up.

In a different era, this would be the moment to put our bodies on the line, in mass protests on Parliament Hill and across the country. #BillC7

In the Covid era, we will put our bodies, our lives, our
passion and our culture on the line virtually, and we dare our govt representatives to look away. #BillC7
