Pandemic plan courtesy of the federal govt.
Disabled need help yesterday. It is a crisis
And a emergency. With skyrocking prices they can no longer afford to live. Market rent consumes the whole disability check. They need aid like Cerb that was given to workers.If you know

A death is imminent does the government have the obligation to help? Yes under United Nations Convention on the rights of persons with disabillity. There is an obligation. Recently bill c 22 was going thru committee its a Canada Disability Benefit but it

Probably won't pay until 2024. So how are disabled to survive till 2024. Well the govts own Disability Inclusion Ction Plan it says both immediate and long term supports. Sadly govt has not really brought it up. Govt looked around and saw the need for Cerb,

It was not perfect but I am sure it saved homes and people had some food. Govt shud look around see the need of the disabled and start emergency payments to pwd 2 ward off starvation, hypothermia & when hope has been lost and they cannot bare the poverty

They are suiciding by Maid. Its not dying with dignity but rather suuciding because the govt does not provide enuf $ to live with dignity. Even ppl who have housing are not safe from hypothermia They may not have heat because of the cost of hydro and natural gas
@BonitaZarrillo

Or they can't afford to repair a broken furnace.
So some M.P. needs to act ,create a benefit quickly to save lives. Pwd need the need #derb an addition to their present disability checks. $2500 mthly will ensure housing and food. There shud b no claw back,

@BonitaZarrillo

It wud b on top of the present ridiculously low prov/terr/fed benefits.
Cerb was $2000 but it costs 40-60 % more on average for pwd to live.
Pwd wyd be automatically approved if on govt benefits. No point proving yet again that they are disabled.

Cerb, small and large businesses got help even horses got $2500
Some disable got zero pandemic aid, some a 1x payment of $400 and others got a 1x payment of $600. Pwd to survive the extra costs of ppe and isolation costs maxed out credit cards,

Overdrafts and payday loans to survive. Frankly $0-600 one time for a 2 year period was outrageous. So right now pwd need #derb done similiar to Cerb where the legislation was written fast and in just 24hrs got Royal Assent, and created a online portal to

To apply. Its amazing how fast govt can move if they want to. So please retweet this in support disabled living in 3rd world conditions and tweet your M.P. that u want to see #derb created. The govt by sending billc22 to committee have acknowledged that

Disabled are living in severe poverty. If 39 k is poverty for education workers then 11-15k is disabled people dying.
