Sarah Jamma, a black disabled activist I admire deeply, revealed yesterday that @Disability_WP is an astroturf lead by non-disabled Liberal cronies of Carla Qualtrough.

Her accounts on social media are now gone. I'm unsure if she deleted them herself, or if they got removed. 1/
Whatever the case, we need to be in solidarity with Sarah Jamma. She courageously blew the whistle yesterday & we owe it to her to defend her at all costs. (Not just for yesterday, but for all of her work as well.)

Being intersectional, she's more at risk for hate & bigotry. 2/
This also highlights how scary it is to whistle-blow on the government, especially for an intersectional person.

I respect Sarah so much for doing this. We not only need to thank her if she comes back, we need to defend her brave actions in her absence. 3/3

I apologize for the incorrect spelling on the last name. I can never remember if names have double letters of not and I should have double checked.

Looks like someone is on some sort of power trip yet again. 👀 Saying things I have never said nor implied.

Yikes. 😬
It's definitely a power move to write someone's full name 3 times in a tweet going off about things no one ever even implied without tagging them when you are mutual followers.

This isn't the 1st time she has done this, and it won't be the last.

It's really unfortunate.
I don't know if it's that they are pissed that someone else has talked to MPs on this issue, or that others have passionate opinions on this issue

Either way, no one should be acting this immature about *checks notes* someone giving info they've recieve from official sources.

It angers me the Conservatives are using the MAID expansion (ability for those solely with mental health issues to use it by 2023) to boost their campaign.

CPC are against it due to religious motives against MAID as a whole, not bc it's a human rights issue. 1/ #MAID #cdnpoli
An example of this would be Erin O'Toole's saying doctors should be able to turn down a suffering patient when they request MAID.

If they truely viewed MAID as a human right, they wouldn't be trying to allow it to be denied it to a suffering patient.

If the Conservatives viewed the MAID amendments as a human rights issue instead of MAID as a religious issue, they'd have plans to lessen suffering by bring disabled folx out of legislated poverty.

Reality? They only plan to help working disabled folx. 3/

The Liberals are scamming disabled folx on twitter & Canadians deserve to know 🚨

I knew there was something up with this organization after I had to correct them yesterday in a post. Their entire organization, including their website is based on a Liberal lie.
1/
Now to find out its ran by a non-disabled person and has practically no-one in it on social assistance?

And to find it's by one of (the Liberal's Minister of "Disability Inclusion") @CQualtro's cronies from her team, I am not shocked at the least.

2/
Liberals made this organization to scam disabled Canadians into voting Liberal.

The benefit is a Liberal falsehood that died in the HoC.

But the Liberals still want you to think that the imaginary dangled carrot is still there - so you'll vote for them. They'll do nothing. 3/

Everytime I think of Ontario's Covid triage program, I grow afraid.

Afraid of losing the lives of my community because of the systemic ableism in devaluing disabled lives.

Afraid that non-disabled folks will still not take precautions bc they know the triage won't decline them.
I try not to think about it, but it's really hard not to.

Doug Ford and other selfish non disabled folks have got us to this point, but who are the ones that will suffer in direct result?

Disabled people.

I will never forgive non-disabled people for devaluing disabled lives.
That's what all of this is: the devaluation of disabled lives.

From the gov's delayed reaction – to non-disabled folks breaking health & safety policies for the sake of "freedom" or "mental health."

...but what about the mental health of the PWD who they are actively killing?
