I swear, with every bit of news I read, I realized more and more that #canada is in the midst of a crisis, and possibly at the twilight of its life.

we have our nations largest cities victimizing and gaslighting its most vulnerable (homeless) people. People who have often done nothing wrong, who are just victims of the inflation spiraling out of control.

These same cities doing nothing to address the cost of housing as developers concentrate on high end condos, which are bought up by speculators and left empty.

We have Provinces allowing their populations to suffer via mismanagement of pandemic controls, LTC facilities. Keeping vulnerable populations ( #PwD) in such a state of #Poverty that they are seeking out #MAiD to end the torture caused by that Poverty alone.

These provinces (I see you @fordnation, you villain) seem hell bent to completely dismantle our public healthcare, putting the sick and infirm at the hands of greedy for-profit insurance providers and health service clinics.

They are also undermining our educational systems, almost as if they want a population LESS educated, less able to distinguish their lies from the truth. Not to mention denying tens of thousands of Autistic children the supports they need to thrive.

AND THEN we have our Federal Agencies, who are doing either NOTHING, or only paying lip service to helping to appear "friendly" to their support base.

They talk about reconciliation with our #indigenous ppl, and then fight their children in court over compensation

they buy/build an oil pipeline virtually nobody wants thru native land, despite objections. They leave large numbers without safe water to drink for decades. they refuse to acknowledge our country's historical policy of genocide to their cultures.

And in the meantime, they are ALSO failing #PwD. They are expanding #MAiD provisions so that one doesn't need a life threatening illness to be approved. All 1 needs is a mental health issue. EVEN AGAINST OBJECTIONS THAT THIS MIGHT BE A BAD IDEA due to their state of #poverty

Suicide hotlines and doctors advising patience feeling anxiety stricken and depressed due to the sheer hopelessness of their financial statement to apply for #MAiD. It's the very coercion the likes for @Justin_Trudeau said wouldn't happen.

What was @Justin_Trudeau's supposed plan to help prevent this? The creation of the #Canadadisabilitybenefit. Supposed to lift #PwD up to the poverty line so they could survive without choosing between home and hunger. The @Liberal_Party first tables it in june'21..

So they're saved right? No, @Justin_trudeau calls an election soon afterwards, and the bill dies when the writ drops. That election, btw, was useless because all it did was result in a status quo of minority government (wasting taxpayers money for nothing)

So, they get elected with another minority government. They introduced the #canadadisabilitybenefit again right away...right?

Nope. they waited a whole year, and reintroduced virtually the same bill, RIGHT BEFORE BREAKING FOR SUMMER.

I said -virtually- because now, instead of promising to lift ALL #PwD out of poverty, they've limited it to "working age" people. So now Seniors living on CPP-D, who are ALSO living in horrible poverty are being left out in the cold.

And on top of all that, the minister in charge of this, @CQualtro says it could take as much as 3 years to get ANY payments out the door. AND she refuses to answer any questions, and blocks any #PwD who gets insistent on wanting more information.

THREE years puts it at about the time for another election to be called, Unless @TheJagmeetsing and the @NDP who are propping up trudeau's government, force one sooner. and their reason for forcing it sooner has NOTHING to do with #PwD being coerced into death

NO, what he's pissed about is Trudeau's lack of movement on Universal Dentalcare. People are literally being put in a state of #Poverty so severe they are choosing death to escape it, and @thejagmeetsingh is pissy about people's TEETH.

Oh sure, members of his party like @BonitaZarrillo are championing for us #PwD, but the rest of the party seems to be silent. Like they think its the proper order of things for us to die.

but, but...where's the @SCC_eng, @CdnHumanRights or maybe @UNHumanRights ?

COMPLETELY FUCKING SILENT.
We've got dozens of organizations advocating us, but every level of government refuses to listen to them.

One can only assume that this whole scenario is purposeful

What power do we have to stop this? If the @Liberal_Party and the @NDP won't listen, the @CPC_hq sure as hell won't!

Is it going to come to the point where the only solution will be bloody rebellion? I hope not. But this is NOT the #canada I grew up proud of. #cdnpoli
