Last night after the vote in the House of Commons, Kory Earle, the President of @PeopleFirstCA shared his thoughts with #DisabilityFilibuster
I am going to tweet them.
If you don't know People First then you don't know disability rights history.

peoplefirstofcanada.ca/about-us/histo…
Kory Earle:

"I am deeply saddened today. I feel defeated. And I know you all do too. We tried so hard – SO HARD – to get the decision makers to listen to us. We got mad, we begged, we pleaded. And we were ignored."
"Today, we know that many important people in this country do not believe what we have been saying for decades - Nothing about us without us. Today, this decision clearly tells Canada that as people with disabilities we are not valued as equal citizens of this country."

We are onto a new segment with @biopoliticalph who is going to read one of her papers.

"Philosophy of disability, conceptual engineering and nursing home industrial complex."

#DisabilityFilibuster

[hope I got that right]
.@biopoliticalph Whether it be data collection, Covid vaccines, housing or income security, disabled Canadians - who have been disproportionately dying from the pandemic - have been left out.

"Neo-eugenics bio-politics"
.@biopoliticalph is explaining what a total institution is and why nursing homes are total institutions.

This video is very helpful for anyone not familiar with the term.

.@cloudylilbaby: They're making it more accessible for us to die than it is for us to live. #DisabilityFilibuster #KillBillC7
.@cloudylilbaby Transitioning from youth to adult home care there was no information anywhere.
Pre-pandemic lived on campus.
Went through three appeals. Had to be assessed constantly.
Talks about the how dehumanizing and degrading the assessment process is. #DisabilityFilibuster
.@cloudylilbaby Social worker came to home of her parents. Asked so what happens to people who don't have people in their life who can be back-up.
Social worker very non-nonchalantly said: Oh well then we would just put you in a home. #DisabilityFilibuster

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.

thestar.com/politics/2021/…
Contrary to what Liberal Party and Bloc are suggesting there has not been months of debate on these amendments to #BillC7
Very little debate has in fact taken place about them. The original bill did not include mental illness as sole criteria for state administered death
