I did a little survey and we determined that a person with a disability needs about $3000 a mth to live a life worth living where we r no longer in poverty imposed segregation.
Segregation a nasty word .
But its true the discrimination/ableism is that bad that we are segregated. Might as well write on the doors of restaurants, gyms, seniors centers, pools, concert halls, airports
NO PWD WELCOME!
Pwd are the only minority group where govt has created the segregation by #pwd #odsp
Legislated poverty.
Even the 5% was not really 5% . It was only applied to part of the odsp for many many people.
It shows a true intention to harm.
Malice,Forethought,
Premeditation.
Bold bigotry!
I am listening to the debate about Bill c22 . I dont hear the words that disabled people have rights. I dont hear United Nations CRPD rights or even Human Rights Commission rights .
But I do hear what I have been saying all along that bill c22 is empty. That there is a plan to
Study it for 3 years. I dont feel any of them recognize the right to live without the discrimination caused by legislated poverty. And I hear $2000 batted about which spied to the able bodied 2 years ago b4 inflation. O don't hear anyone really taking it seriously. There
Is no one talking about unessasary deaths.
None of them " get it".
Not who I am, that help was needed now and 2 years ago. And @CQualtro mentioning the Covid 19 Disabiliyy group she again did not mention she ignored their recommendations. And I hear how some are looking at
I have some questions. I am finding things confusing 1) is this specifically about the disabled issue to end poverty for disabled people in Canada?
Or it this something general like end poverty for all in Canada or the world.
2) any age or specific age ? 3) has any lawyer been
3) cont been hired? If so who? ( not just following ) 4) after researching the Nova Scotia case to determine their costs for their narrow housing class action? I believe it came off the settlement. Has anyone got an estimate of what our "case " will cost? 5) who is fund raising?
Cause the website is asking for donations and showing donations have already been made. In the spirit of transparency where is this money , with who person or trust or bank?
What do we need any money for at this point in time.
As u can see I find this confusing.
I got suckered
#derb a word that sounds silly, but its been outrageous that the disabled are in deep poverty in wealthy Canada. #derb Disability Emergency Relief Benefit is needed now till u get the CDB figured out. Hunger and homelessness is skyrocketing
So #derb now! #pwd #odspoverty #odsp
@CQualtro just Shove #derb thru in 24 hrs like u did for cerb. Whoa it was a miracle! If u can do it for your ables you do it for disabled #derb
DISABILITY EMERGENCY RELIEF BENEFIT NOW!
Here in case u forgot how!
Can u chime in here.
What wud u like them to learn?
My 1st request is they read the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Disabled Persons and all documents ( letters/inspections) between U.N. and Canada. That will change the way we are viewed we are not beggars we have
RIGHTS and entitlements as a Canadian person with a disability that we are being denied. un.org/development/de…
@ondpmedia@ChandraPasma@MTaylorNDP@LiseVaugeois@JessicaBellTO@JoelHardenONDP Remember u cannot reach for anything that was in your kitchen before u did your odsp shopping. Not even the salt shaker. Anything that happens unexpectedly during the 2 weeks comes out of the food budget. Your Nana gets sick and needs u that gas or bus ticket comes #odsp
@ondpmedia@ChandraPasma@MTaylorNDP@LiseVaugeois@JessicaBellTO@JoelHardenONDP Out of your food. Unexpected hospital visit (u may if u r lucky be reimbursed by odsp next month) that $10 parking fee comes out of your food, tp, Kleenex, personal hygiene products, lightbulbs, batteries, over counter meds like tylenol,vitamins, condoms all out of food budget.
@ondpmedia@ChandraPasma@MTaylorNDP@LiseVaugeois@JessicaBellTO@JoelHardenONDP Your kid loses their backpack replace it, someone is ill and creates extra laundry the dog gets sick needs the vet, costs come out of your food. The list is endless. So if u want to read a book go borrow at the library, want to go swimming apply for a subsidy and wait, #odsp
Dear disabled peeps,
Heres info on the next U.N. disability conference. Please take a moment and tweet your opinions to @UN_Enable as to how Canadians with disabilitys are treated in comparison to how we r supposed to be treated under U.N. law which u can read in the
Topic u might want to address that THE U.N. may b concerned about
-severe poverty
Homelessness
Lack of pandemic plan
Maid expanded during a pandemic
Lack subsidized housing
Lack of homecare
Impossibly complex processes to get disability supplies/ equipment
Lack of legal aid
